Just wondering is there any news of Jet2 operating any flights out of Dublin this winter, i seem to remember them doing some ski flights last year.
Jet2 are also operating flights between Dublin and Tel Aviv between September and October. It is also excepted that they will operate during summer 2011 every 9 - 10 days but this still has to be confirmed in the next few weeks but it will more and lightly happen.

Jet2 are taking part in this year’s annual Hajj as they are set to carry over 2,000 passengers to Jeddah on charter flights for Sky-Fly Connections in Bradford and PAK Travels in Birmingham.

Jet2 will operate a 10 return Boeing 757 trips – 4 flights from both Leeds/Bradford and Manchester and 2 from East Midlands.

First time with Jet2

Never flew with Jet2 until this month when i made 2 return trips. Booked a late holiday to Majorca from BFS returning home to fly out a few days later to JER. I was quite impressed with Jet2. They seem to work hard to keep the flights operating on time. The aircraft seem a little older than others i have flow on. Some of the crew are a little miserable looking. The service is similar to any other low cost carrier. Good job !!

Man-pfo 2011

Just done a dummy booking for 3 Adults and 1 Child on the new Manchester to Paphos route next June.

The prices are horrendous and include (for 3 Adults + 1 Child):
FUEL SURCHARGE £32.00
CC FEE £32.83
BOOKING FEE £49.34

The final price comes in at over £350 per person.

Why the Fuel Surcharge on this route. Flights to Faro on the same date do not have any Fuel Surcharge.

Maybe they absorb the cost on short-haul, but not on the longer routes.

Talking

Came home from Palma last night, nothing to do with Jet2. but the buses at Leeds went to another aircraft to bus passengers to the terminal that landed after us, also Jet2 and we had to wait on board a stuffy very hot 737 for half an hour before the buses took us to the teminal. The doors remained closed even after lots of pax asked for them to be opened and as the engines were off, no air conditioning going through cabin, was very uncomfortable for everyone, my father of 72 was very near on passing out, and pax all stood in the aisles so couldn't inform cabin crew. Pilot was not happy and cabin crew asked us to be nice and sarcastic to the bus driver!

On previous Jet2 flights, we have been allowed to walk to the terminal even further than the stand we were on, anyone know why we had to wait for buses and not allowed to walk?

On a positive note, fantastic flights once again with Jet2, only 10 minutes late each way due to Spanish air traffic control, the premium meal prebooked was worth every penny for six quid. Will be booking for next year with Jet2 again.

Flights to Cyprus are half as far again compared to Faro!

Well why do they not incorporate the full cost of fuel into the basic fare?

not to sure why they didnt open doors,unless no stairs then fair enough as big drop etc! your unable to walk from any stand after 14 i think,no barrier or path. The problem yesterday was because lots of craft landed at similar times,some late some early and lba didnt have the means to handle it,not enough busses and corridors full,hence why lba was supposed to be expanded as it needs it at busy times.

Question

Anyone who reads this thread ever found Jet2 £9.99 flights that include taxes for October, November and December? I keep looking every day but can never find the fares that include taxes.

They simply don't exist.

Their fare breakdown is even more of a con of that of Ryanair.

Yes they do exist but very few indeed. Look at the monthly low fare finder. One example, LBA - PRG Sunday 17th October - Base Fare £0.99 + Taxes £9.00 = £9.99

Apologies - I stand corrective.

However, their booking process is by far the worst...by far.

its the same with most if not all airlines though,by the time they put on all the extra's like baggage charge, on line check-in charge, etc,a £9.99 flight cost more like £99.99.
summed up nicely in the song by fascinating aida, cheap flights.
(if you havent heard it you can find it in jet blast, or google it. very funny)

Question Cabin interior

When we flew to Palma, we went on the newly fitted out cabin with new seats. Those seats are so uncomfortable to sit on, but tolerable for such a short haul flight. I noticed there are no window blinds anymore, the sun was blazing onto me on outbound flight and had to stick my cardigan up at the window to block the sun out. Anyone know why Jet2 took the blinds off the windows? Am thinking something to do with safety, but other airlines still have them.

Window blinds removed to reduce weight.

The window blinds have been removed from the 737 only. I know what you mean about the seat been a bit firm, I would still prefer to have the firmer seat and have all the legroom the new seat now gives, rather than have a nice big soft seat and have no legroom. They did carry out months of market research to understand passengers opinion of the new seat, general feedback was the new seat was welcomed by most.
