If you have not pre-booked specific seats you don't get a choice as the system allocates your seats. Personally I have not had any problems but people around us on flights certainly have.

I always check in online, but to be honest I leave it until the last minute - Mostly you will get good seat 3 months or even nearer prior to your departure (I) have found.

But checking in online is surely defeating the object?

When LS pay people to personally check in pax.

The same as going to the supermarket and using the self service isle.

If people keep checking in online, Then LS will get the idea that they no longer need people?

And they will be put on the truck to timbuck2!!

Yeah that is true, however that's the joy of temporary contracts. All check in staff for Jet2 are taken on a temp contract, the permanent staff are the core staff needed for the winter, with summer staff exactly that, taken on for the summer, they know that and don't expect to be kept on, and believe it or not, that doesn't stop them from wanting to come back the following season.

You also have to consider there is natural growth within the business, yes a lot of people are checking in online, but they still need staff to man the bag drop desks. As was the case at LBA this year, Jet2 actually used more check in desks, requiring more staff than last year to accomodate bag drop, despite on some days there been less flights than the previous year. Jet2 will never go all online check in like Ryanair, so yes a couple of 'traditional' desks may be swapped over for 'online' desks each year, but they still need the staff to operate them. Unlike Ryanair, Jet2 don't expect only one member of staff to man the bag drop desks.

Excellent system over which you have total control - like checking in on line.

Don't have to put up with the jobsworths who seem to enjoy upsetting customers to justify their existence!!

I'll pass that comment on to the girls on check in, those false nails can be filed to be pretty dam sharp - be warned!!

I have a lot experience of working with Jet2's check in staff, and there is no way I would call them 'jobsworths'! I take it you have never had a passenger scream at you because their bag is 5kg overweight and it is 'YOUR' fault? Or being screamed at because the passenger booked themself as 'Smith, Bob' when their passport says 'Smith, Robert'? If you actually tried that job, you would know how much they have to put up with. Your opion would be very different, the phrase 'jobsworth' would never cross your mind!

Your post may have been accurate some time ago. jet2 now charge you 33 to check in on-line, and £6 to check-in at the airport.

Exactly what LS want - Hence the reason for the £6 charge to check in at the airport. they would prefer 100% check in on-line, but even if not - It's heads they win, and tails we lose. Check in on-line and save cash.
