Yes I can see how that would work with Jet2 Holidays. However I can see a problem if people book through say - On The Beach" who build a package for you.
They use low cost airlines like Jet2, so what if they or others don't write in the cost of an airport check in?.
This is when I tried to book for one person on 27th July to Alicante for one person
With On The Beach.

What I am getting at is if the total for On The Beach does not include the £12 airport check in fee, then will that be asked for at the airport.
Secondly - With On The Beach it is impossible to check in online, so the cheaper option never applies if booking through travel agents (you have to book in online yourself and make the necessary declarations.
So it seems it is an ill thought out charge, as booking not online with Jet2, probably means you never get an option for the cheaper £6 check in on line charge.
