Re MUFC - Jet2Ski
There has been a Jet2Ski section, and Jet2Golf too, on the website for a couple of years, but it is not always very clearly positioned. I don't recall if they offered full packages for those two sports, more like promotion of destinations where you can do them, transfer information, and links to ski resorts/golf centres. Perhaps, given the development of Jet2Holidays, more comprehensive sports packages may be made available in the future.

Heard yesterday from a reliable source that Jet2 have purchased 2 767s due to the shortage of suitable 757s. Seems most of their 757 guys have done the 767 upgrade conversion. Interesting times ahead for Jet2.

'Ladies and gentleman, I would like to welcome you aboard this Jet2 flight from Leeds Bradford to Sanford International.'
It was only a matter of time. Yes, 752s are quite short at the moment with the revival of the trans atlantic feeder routes such as CO and GSM, and also DL who will join the club next summer with an EDI service. They may be short, but a 767 is WAYYY to big for a 752 replacement. It would cause mayhem on the short haul schedule, MAN would surely have enough stands for it, but its other bases would probably find it a lot harder to fit a 767 into their airport - BLK wouldn't even be able to provide a long enough runway! The 752 excuse is probably a cover up for a long haul venture, but if not, LS are certainly going to give it to EZY and FR. A 300 seater a/c against a 156 seater. Watch out EZY at BFS and NCL, LS are coming to town with some REAL machines!

'REAL MACCHINES' don't make me laugh!!! when you guys get newer machines which don't go tech all the time, then we will begin to worry, but we all know thays waaaaayyyyyyyyyy off and probably never will happen. Until then let us fly the real machines!

whats with the multi colour, colour schem that jet 2 has going on , been manchester today, seen the grey/red tail, grey/grey tail, all white red writing, white/red jet2 on body blue tail, white red writing and green tail, and white with red writing on a blue tail with red writing on!!!! 
Its worse than when BA had their multi coloured tails!!!!!
on a side note anyone know what the delays are with jet2 at blackpool lately?
4 hours for majorca the other day, alicante was almost 4 hours late yesterday, seems there having real problems this year....
you get the feeling that blackpool, is just an after thort for them now , what with ever other bases gettin new routes except blk,

I certainly hope that BLK does prosper with the airline!
I am wanting to know if any of the people 'in the know' in the airline could give me any idea of when the airline are going to release their BLK winter schedule and if FAO is still going to be involved? Unless, LPL and EZY will be carrying me to the winter sun!

you will find when Jet2 are about to drop a route, they begin to have a dont care attitude. See past Man-Edi and LGW delays and cancellation.
BLK be warned!!!
It will be a shame if this is the case BLK started off so well....

Thanks for the warning, but ...
I just had a shuftie (how dya spell it) around the country and - well would ya look at that - seems a lot of planes are going t*ts up with all manner of airlines, incl. flag carriers, on heritage routes at airports that they don't look likely to be vacating. I also note that the supply airlines are working all over the shop and can't have many planes left. Seems the recent Jet2 delays at BLK (and elsewhere btw) are a symptom of a bigger problem - the one we get every summer - too many flights, too few crew/equipment and all of the contingency already deployed. Heck I even recall Thomas Cook subbing for Tfly a couple of years back at CVT - looked proper weird on the apron and certainly broke down the barriers of competition!
I am hoping for my sake that this possible explanation is more plausible than the one about Jet2 losing interest.

From what I am told, 76s are just as scarce as 75s. LBA handles 76s as a matter of course and they wouldn't necessarily have to go to BLK, EDI etc. I'd like to see a 767 in one of the LS colour schemes (Legend has it that the difference is due to the former Mrs. Meeson having come up with the name 'Jet2' and the grey/grey scheme so it all had to change when the divorce came through) but I will believe it when I see it. Is your source reliable, tornado?

What LS needs to do is decide - Boeing or Airbus and get some B737-700 and 900ERs or A320/1s ordered before the airlines such as BE and EZY start to pick them out as the major polluters in the UK aviation with their older planes.
It may not be true, but if EZY can mention the age of the aircraft and the age of their own, then the public could believe anything!
I personally hope that they will make a decision for 30 firm and 30 options of Airbus products quite soon, getting rather bored with the pointy nosed Boeings!

To be fair i dont really see what every one is making such a fuss about Both of the Uks other major low cost airlines started out with older aircraft and then after so many years started getting in brand new kit. I cant see Jet2 placing big orders for next generation Kit till for a few more years yet.

Yes...but was Europe so bothered about eco-friendly travel.
EZY and BE are looking ruthless with their new 'aircraft' and paint jobs, but could they go one step further and pick out the airlines, such as LS, who operate older a/c.
I know this sounds a pathetic reason not to travel with an airline, but we can see that anything is possible with the increase in APD because air travel produces 2% of all CO2 emmisions!
Who shall we pick on this year?...Aviation.
Next year it will be the sea industry.
I think the only thing that is holding LS back is that it owns all of it's aircraft, and so all profit made is theirs, whereas operating aircraft either leased long term or on a massive loan will mean alot leaner company than at present.

well another day, another delay!!!! blk showing another delay on the palma flight, people will start to book else where if this carries on all summer, it will give them a bad reputation, looking at it, they really need to get some newer aircraft, all the extra work the 'ol girls' are doing, is really taking its toll. Appreciate it happensto all airlines, but when your the main operator at an airport , it doesnt give a very good image.

point is though, people have booked to fly with jet2!, now where the plane comes from i supose doesnt matter to some people, as long as its there in the first place!!! Dnt matter a dot ,whether its a jet2 or titan or be it a monarch/BA/Ryanair/Easy or whoevers, end of the day the paying public have booked with jet2, even if its out of j2 control, the pax will blame j2for the problem... which returns to the fact , it will get them a bad image...best form of advertising is by word of mouth, it can also be the worst!!!!
Its like going into a supermarket and finding the shelves always empty, You end up going elsewhere, and rarely going back, cause you know you cant get what you want, People wont book if they think ther goin to get delayed.
