Last year it did.
If TUI made a loss of £289 then it doesn't mean TOM made a loss. I understand that if the parent company went under then so would TOM but if TOM is currently profitable, then I don't understand why they would tamper with TOM when it would be other areas of the business that would need tuning.
Just my thoughts! Enjoy IBZ!

Sad little life if all your bothered about on a 2hr flight is a few episodes of the simpsons, will and grace or even some crappy movie
May i remind you, jet2 is a low cost airline.... IFE is one of the things you dont need on short flights, so MUFC if you want to watch your soaps then get yourself booked on TOM or whoever!
Jet2 may have a few delays but what airline dosnt, i remember flying FCA to SSH about 2 years ago with a nice 27hr delay and a tech 757 so what goes around comes around.
So lets stop with the jet2 bashing and if you want to promote TOM and FCA so much, sod off to their thread and big um up there!

Mr Long = arm of the law.Lol!! has cut summer capacity 20%, Winter bookings have so far gone up by 10%.
Obviously Egypt is the fastest growing destination, Expect to see even more flights to SSH, HRG, LXR.
Sadly LBIA will probably never see a TOM base again!!
They had meetings at the same time LS arrived back in 2003/4, But the airport was going to charge TOM 15.00 per pax to handle.
The airport I am told charges LS 50p per pax to handle?
I don't think any carrier will attempt to park alongside 11 LS based aircraft every night?

Sorry Channex
I saying nothing to do with Jet2, I was merely saying that TOM had IFE on that specific route on that day with extra leg room - no need to get your knickers in a twist!

MUFC fan actually does raise a good point regards to IFE - even if he supports the most hated football team in the world (sorry!) 
It's all very well saying Jet2 is a LCC but now they are selling package holidays and bumbling off to more exotic climbs outside of the EU then passengers will start to take more notice of things like IFE, food, seat pitch et al.
The removal of a row of seats on the 75 has helped a little. Jet2 used to carry Mezzo Movies, a kind of portable DVD player that allowed two passengers to share the one unit and wern't too badly priced to begin with and I belive were only available on the Canary Island routes.
However, the rental cost for the airline was quite high and they weren't marketed too well. Being jet2, the only answer was to keep increasing prices to such a point that it would have been cheaper to drive to block buster or go to the cinema than rent one in flight, hence no one wanted to watch them (except the flight deck) and they were discontinued

As it is a 767 it is personal IFE with 33" legroom.
However, IFE is available on all charter flights (I don't know about ZB? Have been with their schedule services) and as LS creep into this market more and more they need to compete efficiently.
Going through their holiday website though, it does seem they have focussed more on price than quality...

Remember this year all the longhaul config ex TOM and ex FCA 767 aircraft are operating solely on longhaul flights except on a very select few shorthaul routes compared to last year...
Depending on the actual aircraft though you may get the seat back IFE but in shorthaul config (so 29-30" seat pitch), this is because the aircraft would have operated longhaul thomson plus flights last summer... Once again you may just get the standard overhead TVs.

757speedbreaks....
The mezzo's were available on every route in the end, only problem was that someone has signed a contract for the lease of them and Mr Meeson wasnt happy when we found out how much, shame tho, they used to bump the c/c commission up a fair amount. They were a good deal, you used to flog them all on every flight just about!
If jet2 are going to be doing longer flights, such as the new SSH from NCL thats coming in the winter then yes maybe IFE wouldnt be a bad thing, ut personally if its not installed i wouldnt bother, those 757s need replacing anyway eventually... but if they are fitting winglets maybe they plan on holding on to them a little longer.

Fast Bag Drop - Whats that then?
How fantastic Jet 2 aren't !
Arrived at Manchester Airport Jet 2 check-in hall at 0625 for an 08.00 flight departure, having already checked in on-line and had our seats allocated. All we had to do was just drop off ONE bag at the fast bag drop! This took One hour and six minutes to achieve
The ordinary check-in queue was moving faster than the one we were stuck in. On reaching the front end of the fast bag drop queue I was amazed to see the two desks being used suddenly go down to one desk, as the damsel behind the other one got up and left!! 
Finally the bag was dropped off and then it was to the Little Hiltler Society room that is passed off as security (But that's another story) On finally arriving close to the gate we were bellowed at by the boarding pass checkers that we were the last and to hurry up that we were holding up the flight
I told them that if they wanted passengers to turn up on time at the gate, then I suggest that in order to drop a bag off that in future it should take less than the time it took us today.
To cap it all once boarded, we were asked to move seats in order that a family could sit together ! Marvellous got switched from a window seat to an aisle. When I asked if I'd get a refund for switching from my pre-booked seat the answer was a "Probably not"
By that time my will to live had been exausted, so I just curled up and slept, and told myself over and over again, "Never ever again, - never ever again.
Forgive me if this has been stated in similar fashion in previous postings (I'll be very suprised if it hasn't), but without the trawling back through the 100 pages in this thread, I have no way of knowing.
Give me Monarch anyday.

I've just got one thing to say to you - GDF!
At Jet2, we are all a Great Deal Friendlier!
Just thank your lucky stars you are not old and infirm, as we would have charged you for making the aircraft wait by terrorizing you with letters and threats.
I'm up for employee of the month next month.

Used 'bag drop' at LBA and AGP four times this month - AGP takes a minute longer because they swap your online document for a Boarding Card but maximum time taken 5 minutes.
At both airports Jet2 have their own checking in staff - can't speak for Manchester.

However on the return flight at Palma (or anywhere for that matter) - if you have checked in on line, you can go to security at (anytime), unlike waiting for the rush of checking in at the desk in a busy airport like Palma.
So better checking in online, long queues at the fast bag drop are not that common.
On the subject of IFE - Who needs the extra cost of it - I take a cheap portable DVD player, so who cares if Jet2 provide IFE or not - as far as I am concerned.

MUFC fan,
You say Tui made loss of 289million but that was expected as it was over the winter period. They made a profit of 391 million last year and with bookings better than last year at higher yields expect to see a good profit this year also.

True, But Winter 2008 was actually a busy & quite profitable period, With Egypt bookings boosting up the figures once again.
With the projected forecasts for Summer 09 being on a par with average bookings, Capacity has still been cut by 20%.
People are obviously booking very late or at the last minute due to the current economical mess!!
The phase-out has started on the 757's that started Ops in 1992 now, And a planned 9 aircraft will be leaving the fleet in the next 18 months or so.
Egypt bookings has helped all of the Tour Ops over the last year.

Egypt is a massive success and it amazes me that they are only flying 757s out there. However, I am sure that they would increase their capacity to the 767 if they had the resources to do so.
MON are currently flying MAN-SSH on the A330.
The Euro is starting to rise once again and hopefully by next summer it will be back at it's 'normal' rate.
However, I don't think it has affected loads for the LCCs very much! Maybe just yields!
