I just really do not get some of the critics of Jet2 on here. Yes, the fleet is old. The crew for me though always seem to be a lot more friendly than there rivals, the leg room is better on most aircrafts in comparison with the rivals and from experience they're always a lot more punctual than there rivals. Also, from experience, and viewing details online, they always seem to be a lot better than there rivals, such as TCX & TOM, at rectifying technical issues (A/C swaps etc.).
This "the aircrafts are knackered and the interior is horrible and dated" rubbish doesn't wash with me either! Does it really matter how old the aircraft is that you're flying on? As long as it is a comfortable experience, which it usually is with Jet2, and it doesn't cost an arm & a leg then does it really matter?
You only need something new and mostly up to date spec on long haul, which Jet2 dont specialise in, so it really doesn't matter. Jet2 have came on leaps and bounds as a whole in the last few years and I don't think they should be criticises as an operator just because their aircrafts are older than others. They're obviously doing something right, look how far they've came on!!
