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.
In other words, you must pay if you want to sit together as a family. Their website system is sly, however. As a party under the same booking reference, 1 member had to confirm a seat before another could be allocated:
Looking at the plan, D is assigned seat 23A. Ok, clicking back and clicking on A, she also has 23A. Confirm 23A for A. Now D gets 23B. Fine, confirm. But C gets 19D
So we have to pay £6.99 to sit together.
Another charge. Even at 15, I remember the days when it was EXPECTED that a family could sit together

Well, usually the seats are allocated together. I'd say in 90 passengers that checked-in online, 10 are allocated random seats that are not together, but we're allowed to change them at the baggage drop desk without a problem. Or if they go directly to the gate, the crew takes care of that. Unless the flight is completely full shouldn't be a big issue.

I think once you have checked in online, you lose any more chances to buy a seat or make changes to your booking.
Was just as bad the previous way, you had to buy a seat before you could book online whether you wanted or not.
The new system of booking on line is cheaper than the previous system, so long as you are prepared to sit anywhere, including row 17.
Reading previous posts, I am amazed that people really believe they can fly for next to nothing, very low seats prices can only be a gimmick - Airlines charge only what they have to to keep in profit, there is such a thing as competition that regulates prices.
Jet2 are no better or worse than the rest.

Major drive to reduce winter losses, to include unpaid leave, part time working and some layoff's amongst CC is what i'm hearing around the airport for Jet2, i think many airlines will take this route this winter to reduce cost as the winter program is slashed.
In simple terms the industry is awash with trained crews both FD/CC with Ryanair using cadets/slaves for the RHS to reduce costs, this winter will be far tougher than last year, just 5 weeks left of prime Summer season and many airlines are discounting flights for departures in the next few weeks

Hi
Jet2 has announced 2 new routes from its LBA base for the summer 2010 season.
The airline will fly to Bergerac in France twice weekly and to Corfu once weekly. Meanwhile the Egypt-Sharm el Sheikh route from LBA will go to a year round operation.

Thanks for the last two posts.
Still dont know though if the fleet is fully utilised this year.
But if it is then something must be on the horizon (more aircraft, timetable rejig) if Jet2 is opening a new route or two.

This summer the Jet2 fleet is near enough fully utilised with a fairly tight flying programme, the 757 fleet has a fair amount of down time in the evenings with very little night flying with the exception of late TFS,HER, ACE etc. The 733 flying programme is a lot tighter however Jet2 have leased in ex bmi baby G-CGET to cover for any aircraft running late/going tech so this aircraft usually only does 2 or 4 sectors each day compared to the typical 6 sectors of a regular Jet2 733.
The new routes announced so far for LBA are able to be operated with no additional aircraft as the CFU goes on a Monday afternoon when there is a spare 757 at LBA. There have also been reductions for the 2010 flying programme especially at LBA with BCN, NCE etc seeing reductions. I would imagine that this would mean that the spare 733 will not be needed next summer so the existing fleet will be occupied comfortably.

Its such a shame that LS wouldn't operate Sharm El Sheikh from BFS for summer 2010, seeing as Thomas Cook group are not continuing the flights into the summer season. Egypt has had terrific growth of late from the UK, and its a shame Belfast are loosing the destination.
Also, does anyone know if Pisa, Dubrovnik and Toulouse are returning for summer 2010. From Belfast, Palma, Ibiza, Mahon and Murcia are already on sale for 2010. Will these other destinations follow in time, or are they being dropped??
