Are JET2 going to continue flying from BLackpool in 2012, been looking for hols and nothing is showing past march, all the other bases have holidays/flights for sale up to next nov 2012? ~Is it case of wait and see what happens between the airline and BLK airport,incase things kick off again, as with last winter, or are Jet2 goingt o stick 2 fingers up to BLK for messing them about
Just a note to say if you download the holdiay brochure off the website its showing flights for BLk for next year but nothing is on website to book. I do like to try and support local airport even if the ADF does annoy me, thanks guys and girls

Why do Jet2 make it difficult for themselves?
I fly a couple of time a year to Tel Aviv on Jet2. I do prefer a full service airline but that means a change in Europe and a longer trip.
The cost of adding luggage to the trip is about £40 per case. So most people try to avoid adding luggage and we manage to travel hand luggage only. Yesterday as we got to the gate about ten minutes after boarding was 'announced' no-one had yet to a board and they were making announcements about putting larger items of hand luggage in the hold free of charge. Crazy. If they reduced the cost of hold luggage we would certainly added a single largish case than take two good sized carry on bags FOC.
Also, they get upset about people delaying push back. But as the plane had been on the ground all night, they could have boarded us a little earlier and avoided a short delay. They know people take time to stow hand luggage and telling them not to do it whilst standing in the aisle is ridiculous. It is almost impossible to stow carry on luggage unless you are in the aisle.
Rant over. I have to home yet!

I've just been flicking through their new holiday brochure online and it amuses me that they have used a B757 picture half in Allegiant colour scheme. Surely LS have plenty of pictures in their own c/s to put in the brochure, or they could have gone onto a.net or google for one of their own picture.

Espada... I understand your frustrations with the baggage issues. I believe cabin baggage is an important revenue stream for them, not sure if prices would be reduced, unless baggage prices were also reduced by competitors.
With regards to boarding earlier; boarding usually starts as soon as the flight deck crew arrive. They report for duty 1 hour before departure, they can't report earlier due to duty time limitations. It would be great in an ideal world to board much earlier, but the time rules wouldn't allow for the earlier crew report time without the crew making a night stop in TLV.
