Purchased mine at 19p........... wish I'd bought more now!! 
When do we get our 0.17p per share divided payout???????? lol
For anyone that hasn't heard, Dart Group (Jet2 parent company) pre tax profit for 08/09 was £33.5 Million.
The full details can be found on most financial websites or on the Dart Groups own website. CEO has also confirmed the continued expansion into long haul destinations .
Hopefully that will silence a few doom and gloom mongers who don't work for the company. Most of the profit was also made made by the airline and NOT the haulage company before that arguement appears.............

Jet 2, i must say a good airline.
They are a low cost airliner, or so they say. Could they be considered to do false advertising? Because if you visit there site, the prices are nothing like that of what there advert says.
I recently looked on a flight to majorca with Jet2 and it was £140.00. Whereas on the advert's it says Majorca from only £9.99.
Is this one of the problems with Jet2? Or am i just taking things over the top!?

The word 'from' being the key word. I don't know the rules but I guess a certain percentage of all flights sold must be flogged at this price. So say they are offering £9.99 from LBA to AGP - it doesn't mean every seat will be that price.
Ryanair are the most extravagant for this - not the worst, but the biggest difference.
They offer fares as low as 1p yet if you book the day before it can be over £200 before tax!

Jetrob,
Nobody is twisting your arm to fly Jet2,if you don't like the final price don't book it!.
It's not like no other airlines fly to where you want to go.
I am flying Easyjet from LPL to KRK next week because it was a lot cheaper than Jet2 from LBA.T'internet is a wonderful thing.

The Jet2 advert says Majorca From £19.99 All Fares are One Way incl Taxes.
Yes, the £19.99 fare is available. Take LBA-PMI 28th Aug, the base fare is £0.99 + £19 Tax = £19.99.
So NO it is not false advertising as the rules stand at the moment.
However, this is not the fare you will be charged. To this fare you have to add compulsory charges for a Booking Fee, Check-in Fee and Credit Card Fee. Additionally there may be other optional charges.
Again I say NO it is not false advertising ......... but only because they are not obliged to include All compulsory charges in their advert.
Incidentally, if you were to travel on the 28th Aug and return 1 week later, the return flight will cost you an extra £132.99 incl tax giving a return fare of £152.98 plus of course your Booking Fee, Check-in Fee and Credit Card Fee.
So the one-way fee of £19.99 suddenly does not look so attractive.
The advice is quite clear, look at the final total before booking.
I would also point out in fairness that Jet2 are no different in this respect to all other Lo-Cost airlines.

Of course Jet2 is low cost just like Easy Jet and Ryanair are. It seems people want to fly for nothing. UK to NICE 2002 750 pounds return We all know about the hidden extras it is still a bargain too fly with them

In all fairness, i agree with you all.
But flying with Jet2 from LBA is possibly the cheapest, as i can't travel to any other airport as i'm stuck with money.
There is Thomson,Thomas Cook and Jet2.com that flys LBA - PMI. There are all VERY good airliners, but i don't see the point of paying so much money just for a return flight aswell.
Question? Are airline costs rising because of the recent recession?

I doubt there is any straight answer to give on that, but one issue is going to be leasing and purchase costs. With loan money and interbank trading being depressed, several airlines have allegedly found it hard to finance deals with the likes of Boeing and Airbus that were placed in the happy times. The finance rags have even hinted at credit deals being unilaterally cancelled with a couple of companies as the banks no longer wish to do the deals.
Lessors such as ILFC also do not have a vast pot of cash available in the same way. So in the next few years we could see capital costs rising due to more expensive credit as banks and lessors price their wares higher to the airlines.

TSR2, you're wrong in what you say about the advertised price. Any advertised fare must be available to buy according to the ASA. Therefore if you cannot buy the fare for the advertised price, this is not allowed. When Ryanair say you can buy a seat for £1, you can.
As far as I know, Jet 2 is the only airline currently flouting these rules by having completely unavoidable charges that get added on during the process.
All the other Locos have a way of avoiding any additional charges even if it is quite difficult!

Jet2 profit; cautious on future growth : Leeds Bradford Airport News Stories
Nice to see the company doing well - not only Jet2 but the Dart Group as a whole.
Meeson also looks quite 'safe' about his predictions for the future and I think he is running his airline quite well at the moment!

You are of course correct.
What I should have said is that the Jet2 advert does not say you can buy at £19.99 but FROM £19.99.
I was merely trying to point out that the low fares stated are actually available but with the compulsory charges added.

Seriously have a play with the booking system, every single day in November you can fly LBA-AMS, BFS etc etc for under a tenner including taxes. So where does all this rubbish about Jet2 not being a low cost airline anymore come from?

I have been reading with interest the comments about Jet2 fares not being as low as advertised. I am flying LBA-FCO in September, booked in May, and it has cost just under £110 in total for both of us. Really low fares are available if you can be flexible with your dates and can book 3/4 months in advance.
People are so used to get a good deal that I sure some think that the airline should pay them to fly.

I have noticed that you can book a flight to check-in on-line without pre-purchasing an assigned seat. How do you get a seat allocated as it will not be shown on your (home) printed Boarding Pass?

Yeah, if you don't pre-select your seat while you're checking in online, the system just randomly gives you one. Little problem is that sometimes couples/families get random seats that are not together. And that either can be changed at the airport check-in or you go back and actually choose the seats at the website.

Seat numbers not showing on boarding cards....... this is a systems glitch. Only happens now and then, I maybe see this once a week. When you board the aircraft, we will check the passenger manifest and let you know your seat number as you board. Or if you have bags to drop off at check in, they will re-print you a new boarding card, with a seat number on there.
