Fair play fella, the food on Monarch was fine(better than the over priced crap we serve) LoCo have to make the savings somewhere and cabin refurbs is well down the list of priority, safety is of course regulated in, but C checks are a case of the legal minimum rather than the much more expensive approach of if it worn replace it as opposed to if its worn but in limits leave it! i have seen tyre and brake unit changes with less than 6 cycles after a C check!!
I went on a charter flight to the Italian Lakes a couple of years back and on the return at Verona a bmi 321 was our flight, i was first up the rear stairs and it looked like something out of a starship enterprise movie with condensing cool air flowing from the overhead vent meeting the warm humid air, soft lighting and mode music gave it that wow factor
These days i can't run the APU with out a note from the boss and its got to Betty Swallocks hot, music nope we'd have performing rights to pay, still you get what you pay for at £29.99 or nearer £90 with a case and taxes.
But this is what the UK is becoming, never mind the quality feel the price, i just some one would set up an airline that promised to be the best not cheap with clean well dressed and English speaking crew, who when asked what wine do you have on board? can answer other than Red or White, where the floor is not covered in crumbs and half eaten cheese biscuits and the toilets don't smell like the ones in the Old Ball on a Friday night
Simonchowder, ur right Duc Tape isn't an acceptable fix in the cabin, but until punters vote with their feet, i guess nothing will change
Good night the Face

There is a large cabin refurb program being carried out on both the 737 and 757 fleet at the moment. So the problem is being rectified. Brand new seating is also being installed on the 757's (except 1 aircraft which will keep its current fit, that still has fairly new recaro seats installed from its previous airline.)
Bit unusual that you were moved to a crew seat. This is not permitted at Jet2. Was the flight 100% full? This is quite a rare event, as when booked full, you always get a handful of no shows, and as there is no over booking policy, the flight will depart with empty seats.

Yes... the window blinds have been removed and the interior panels have been brightened up! I thought 'Tipp-Ex white' looked nice and bright. Would sky blue, yellow or some floral wall paper be better for you?

Most of the 737's have 148Y seats, G-CELR has 142Y, and G-CELP has 124Y. LP has a variable seat/class concept, I believe it can be changed to accommodate up to 80C class seats. The 757's all vary between 228Y and 238Y seats. This is due to change shortly with the introduction of a 34" seat pitch for the first 9 rows of the cabin.

I was checking flights from BFS to TFS, was going fine until I selected to take a bag, it was something rediclous like £38.00 thats day light robbery!!! Thats even more expensive than Ryanair, and over £20.00 dearer than Easyjet. What a rip off. I'll be booking with Aer Lingus.

I got speaking to a travel agent over lunch today who is here on holiday. She said Jet2.com are about to reinstate (unspecified) routes from the UK to LPA. Does anyone here know if this is true? Thanks.
