Leeds - Tenerife South
The flight left Leeds with a delay of 3 Hours
The flight is due in Tenerife South with a delay of 7Hours 20Minute delay.
Any idea of whats after happening. Also the Leeds airport website says the inbound leg of the flights has got an INDEFINITE DELAY.

Jet 2 On-Line Check in
Apologies in advance if I have posted in the wrong area, but I have a question / word of warning regarding online check in.
Flew back from Palma to Manchester last Sunday (8th August) and had checked in online 4 weeks previously. There was a party of seven, and we were given seats 31A, B, C & D, plus seats 32A, B & C. When we boarded the aircraft (G-LSAC) we found that seats 32A, B & C did not exist. The stewardess seemed quite surprised, but made the assumption that there was an extra toilet on this aircraft which meant that Row 32 only had seats D, E & F.
How can Jet 2 run an online check in when they have different specification aircraft, I assume they certainly do not know which aircraft flies the route 4 weeks in advance (I was surprised that the check in at Palma were not aware of the aircraft and seating plan and could have made these changes, also that the cabin crew did not know for certain how many people were due to board the flight, "I think the aircraft is not full" was the comment as we were waiting) presumably this similar on board panic to find seats occurs every time this aircraft flies ???
Luckily, as the flight had a bit of room we were accommodated after a bit of shuffling around, but not sure what would have happened if it was full ?
Just a word of warning to anybody checking in on line and getting seats 32A, B & C it is probably best to ask at check in to maks sure that these seats are actually available !!!

Last Saturday a number of Jet2 a/c went tec and there was long delays on a number of routes. I presume the aircraft was a B757-200. Not all the aircraft have the same amount of seats. The B757 range from 228 - 238 passengers on them.
Last Saturday:
One 757 was grounded in Alicante
One 757 made an emergeny landing in MAN while going from Leeds - TFS
So I can see why this happoned to you.

Jet2 come to Wales!
Good Evening
Just a quick message out there to Jet2 to see if they have thought about expanding into Cardiff. After checking out your destinations you seem to be the perfect low cost operator to breathe some life into CWL.
Cardiff is crying out for some new destinations to give the Welsh public a bit of variety and a break from the bucket and spade routes offered by the other airline that claims to be low cost!
Come to Cardiff to offer us some city routes. Prague, Dubrovnik, Milan and Krakow would be the perfect city break routes that are desperately needed. We don't want flights every day, but an airline that offers decent scheduling that makes short city breaks possible. I have also noticed that you have return flights from Leeds to New York. This would be a superb route out of Cardiff over Christmas, especially with Continental pulling out of Bristol.
Hopefully Jet2 start offering the Welsh public some great deals and exciting destinations.
What do the Jet2 PPRuNe uses think?

Usual route pass South of Skegness area, across the North Sea, overhead Amsterdam. Pass just North of Dusseldorf, towards Frankfurt. Right turn and pass just East of Lake Constance, over the Alps to Bergamo.
Speed depends on the wind, but 480mph is typical.
35,000 Feet height is typical.

You can check one of the flights on Flightracker radar.
Yesterday my daughter and family flew to Cyprus.
I was able to indentify the 2 Leeds 757's about 20 minutes apart over Bosnia.
Look for EXS 343. on - Watch Air Traffic - LIVE!
It takes a bit of patience to get the hang of it.

Keen...
If he's that keen, when you are onboard ask one of the CC if it is possible for him / both of you to pop up to the FD for a quick visit before the flight.
Time allowing, I'm sure the crew will allow it, and maybe even show him a map of where the flight will go.

or even after the flight, preferebly when back in the UK, as the FD might have a bit more free time then. pre-flight and at turnaround they will probably be quite busy, however at the end of the return leg, it may be that the aircraft is then 'parking up', so all the time in the world.
However, as always, i stand to be corrected.

What's the harm of a cockpit visit while plane is on the ground and there is time for it? I've done it on 2 UK airlines while boarding (45 minutes prior STD) and it was just fine, very friendly crews.
