KLM economy is certainly no better and that is not a criticism,they are no different to most full service airlines. Looking back at short flights in the past, none were really any better in most parts of the world in economy class. More space reduces the number of pax and you have to pay for this.The ultimate tight seating pitch was used by Court Line many years ago for package tours with a 28 inch pitch and a catering pack in the seat back. MOL would have been delighted with this although he would probably have a coin operated catering pack.People are a little bit larger these days and many would not be able to squeeze into such a space because seat design was not so advanced.
I also remember flying from LBA with Britannia in the early days.We ordered 2 meals but were unable to put the tray table down through lack of space and we were both slim.We had to eat off our knees.
In conclusion, Jet2 is more than OK in my experience. it is us the passengers that have created the lack of space as we complain more and more about prices. About 35 years ago at todays currency value, it cost about 1,000 pounds each to fly to Malta.Now that's what I call progress but who knows where it will all end.Maybe double decker seating and no overhead lockers.

come on merv, lets be fair your nit picking a bit there aren't you?
missing blinds mean you didn't have to put it up yourself for take-off
,
im sure if jet2 would have delayed your flight to replace a cosmetic missing light strip cover and replace a bulb in the seat belt sign you would have been an even more unhappy bunny.
as for your numb bum,did you try in seat exercise?

One morning in mid-winter I was on the early KLM. The aircraft was freezing as the APU was unserviceable. Also no spare ground power unit and the flight was delayed at the last minute by ATC.You could see your breath in the cabin and even the windows inside were frosting up. I think we sat there for 30 minutes or more before de-icing started. It was terrible. I learned that the APU had been kaput for weeks but as a non critical item, they were in no hurry to fix it in Amsterdam.
A missing bulb is nit picking to be honest. Jet 2 by comparison are absolute luxury (Like Yorkshire Airlines) only the fantastic mushy peas are missing.

EC-LBC last flew for JET2 on 26SEP2010 LPA-NCL and the other MINT AIRWAYS B752, EC-LHL, has been flying for TUI Germany for the last two or three weeks, perhaps more.
The JET2 fleet would appear to be fully operative at the moment.

Jet2 are operating 10 return flights to Mecca for the annual Hajj pilgrimage. Are they using their existing aircraft or leasing?
