ex cargo clown,
Are you still harping on? Jesus man, get a grip! You are gonna have a heart attack before you go on this bloody holiday if you carry on at this rate!
Take your case to the highest court in the land and to the EC if you like but please stop bending our ears about it as you are making them bleed! Go and vent your spleen in Jet Blast if you wish as that forum is dedicated to whingers!

My wife and daughter have booked on the flight departing LBA on the 13th Nov. They tried to upgrade but the front half of the aircraft is showing reserved so no upgrade available.The call centre cannot help. Can anyone throw any light on this.

I was told by someone a while back that the aircraft would not be scheduled services by Jet2.com and were being charted by or operated for a third party.
I would guess that the blocked off seats are for the charter and Jet2 is selling the rest by its holiday division and by Jet2.com.

Note that on the EWR flights the baggage allowance remains at 17kg! Given that many people will be using these flights as a pre-Christmas shopping trip there's likely to be an unpleasant surprise for excess baggage on the return.
The standard baggage allowance of the traditional carriers ex MAN (DL/CO) of 2 x 23kg looks much more attractive.

wawkrk, apparently what will happen is once the fine details have been sorted out everyone who has booked on the flight will be sent an email offering an upgrade to Jet2Plus USA. So i would imagine she'll get an email soon offering the upgrade
Hope this helps

Could Jet2 ever open a base at GLA?
0523 cov man
Not sure what your point re LBA was but take a look at Stampe's figures.
Yes the 757 surpasses at take-off's from hot and high aerodromes with short runways with good loads but that doesn't mean it can go at MTOW!

They are never going to come out and publically say
"Jet2 and flyGlobespan will never compete on routes and will never launch bases at the same airport with significant competition" and make a contract are they. As you say there maybe a 'Gentlemenly agreement' that they will not.
EDI is a base for LS mainly for the cargo flights but if you notice, the routes they operate from the airport offer very little problems to GSM.
Would be pretty stupid for LS to move into the GLA market with Glasgow being covered domestically by FR, U2 and BE and internationally by FR, U2 and GSM.
Best to stick with what they have and work on their current bases. If they can get stronger with the bases that they have then there is more hope for the airline.
Anyway, will LS be placing an a/c order any time soon? There a/c are getting old and if they want to compete with the high fuel prices then operating older a/c is not really the best way of going about it. At one point they were really easy to run as they were easy to get hold of, lots of qualified staff and also cheap to run. The latter is probably out balancing the other factors meaning it isn't benefitting the airline any more.
Why not get hold of some of the U2 73Gs? Bang some winglets on them and get them flying around Europe - that may reduce the high fares aswell!
Hope it works out for LS in the long run. I cannot seem the company going bus, but maybe one day, if fuel prices carry on the way they are doing, it may return to just cargo flights.
Lets hope this doesn't happen!

Whether now is the right time to try and fill these gaps is another matter altogether ...

Having seen the destinations that you have mentioned is does seem that there are a few gaps but I still believe that they should, if they plan to in the current situation, expand from existing bases first.

The Jet2/GSM "gentlemens agreement" wa broken when GSM opened up a base in MAN (Although it didnt last long) hence why the contract for LR operating for GSM in EDI came to an abrupt end

Which routes did GSM compete with LS on?
If we are taking your method we are going back to EDI where both airlines have a base.
GSM had a base with a 767 flying to South Africa and Canada with the flights to North America still going which is completely different to LS's European operations at MAN.
