Sorry to correct you Earnie Lanc but Jet2's routes are from the South.......
I'm a southerner who loves the North, (although the south downs on a sunny evening beats the pennines and peak district by a mile) and having been based at 3 or the Jet2 bases over the years loved them all! Well, maybe not MAN as much!
Your best off flying for someone like BA or Virgin but using the cheaper living costs to reside up north and use the staff travel!
If BHX is a new Jet2 base, I'll lay good money it's the furthest towards 'gods country' that they'll get too!
