but this year we are well in profit with a cash rich owner.
I'm sure things are rosy up in Yorkshire, know loads employed by Jet2.com, home turf and all that...but don't put any faith in cash rish owners, Mr D did nothing for us at Excalibur, other that remove the greatest charter airline this country has ever seen...

I note that Jet2 have reduced the New York fare from £579 to £299 return on all dates. Sounds like a good deal but I would be pretty miffed if I had paid the original fare.

Its still a long way in a 757 charter/LoCo config aircraft, but you'll struggle to get cheaper flights at that time of year. It will cost that for a good night around Xmas for a couple staying in the UK

The aircraft will not be in charter config for those flights. I believe the aircraft will be reconfigured with around 200 seats. Not sure on the exact figure. Would be no less seat pitch than VS or BA in economy I am led to believe. The current seat pitch with 235 config is 30".

The current seat pitch with 235 config is 30".
Seat pitch in any 757-200 with 235 config is 28 inches and a maximum of 29 on certain rows to the right hand side of the cabin. It is physically impossible to put 235 seats into a 757 at 30-inch pitch unless you were to somehow stretch the fuselage by about 7ft to achieve it.

Certainly on the ex Chinese 757's they got rid of the centre toilet and galley, having flown on these the seat pitch is definately more than 28". I would imagine the pitch would be around 30" as Jet2's seats seem very 'slimline' so to speak.

Thank you.... I was just about to mention the lost toilet and forward galley. I will take my tape measure into work today to check the seat pitch!

Do you really think they'll go to the trouble of reconfiguring an aircraft for four return flights? Can't see it myself.

Perhaps the £279 rtn tickets reflect the leg room? NY direct from LBA (or other smallish regional airports) is a bit of a joke (or an ego trip) with oil at anything over $60. This little Xmas trip will end up costing the company far more than they will make, so who benifits? for the crews it will be interesting first time, the second will seem like a yawn and there after, they will look forward to a short AGP trip, crew meals, allowance do/will they reflect long haul duties?

Come on Jet2 stay with what you do well and forget long haul, it will do you more harm than good, Globespam have proved that,if your in out doubt visit Skytrax (Google) and click on air line customer feed back.

These are elderly 757 and if can go wrong it will on the wrong side of the pond and the bills will go up even quicker

Er.... yes the aircraft is to be reconfigured for 4 flights. For one, the forward cabin needs doing as the Jet2Plus product has been sold with enhanced legroom.

Once these flights have been done this will be the end of any transatlantic flights for the near future.

Right now PM and Jet2 seem to be one of the few airlines getting things right. Looks like MOL's predictions about Jet2 were way off the mark, not for the first time ! But as we all know, it's what he wanted to happen not what is going to happen.

" seems jet2 is one of the few getting right"

Well maybe or maybe not? who knows, the recent press release about the first 5 months trading told us what? well it told us nothing, i did not see anything to the effect that we made X compared to the same period last year.

Now it may well be that they made £5m in the first 5 months of 2007 in which case they have done very well and should have a cracking year (i hope) or it could be that they made £80m in the first 5 month of 2007, in which case we will be toast.

it stated a profit of 30 million plus for the first five months of the year... quite blatant really!

Also said was likely to deliver results ahead of forecasts... not a bad statement i don't see many other airlines making sucg statements!

Jet2 Seating Plans

The standard B757 seating plan (shown when booking) strangely shows 246 seats configured in 41 rows of 3+3, whilst the New York flights show 228 seats in 38 rows.

Are these seating plans correct as I did not think that you could squeeze 246 seats into a B752.

As far as I can see the 2007 interim report states underlying pretax profits for the 1st 6 months were 12.2 million last year, compared to an estimate of over 30 million this year.

Also, I would imagine that a lot of money was lost during last winter following the 'growth spurt', resulting in reduced annual profits. It will be interesting to see how this winter goes, but I suspect that with ongoing charters and a very focused flying programme, despite the downturn, Jet2's results are going to be pretty good.

Nobody has yet made mention that 30 million profit is the Dart group profit. It isn't mentioned what Jet2 actually makes. It may be more but could be alot less but bear in mind that last years profit was almost all down to the trucking business not Jet 2.
