Quick question:
Flying Jet2 fir the first time stansted-Reus. They are telling me I can't check in online because all the online check in slots are taken and I must check in at stansted.
Customer services say for security 20 passages per flight must check in this way.
Is this new or a Jet2 thing? Never had this with Ryanair or EasyJet out of stansted. It's a massive pita and frankly it will mean I might choose FR in the future if I had a choice.

What I do know is that they don't allow the whole aeroplane to be checked in online, not sure why but there will be a good reason, so I can only assume that you have missed out on the online check in by leaving it too late. If the check in process is as well organised at STN as it is at the other bases then you won't have any issues, you'll be done in a few mins and will have had your first taste of the Jet2 experience which, all being well, will make you change your mind about ever travelling with Valdermort Airlines (FR) again.

Not sure about that, but if that's what they say then.....

Hope you are right JFP
..we`ll be putting your theory to the test later next month out to FUE and be able to compare to the excellent service at LBA

Thomson and Thomas Cook have the same sorta policy.

I've flown with them for years and have never queued for more than 5 minutes at check in.
You'll never fly Ryanair again after experiencing Jet2. It's like comparing a punctured unicycle with a Ferrari.

A new base on the cards perhaps? Ad was swiftly taken down though, so maybe someone jumped the gun?

In the advertisement they say they will be flying from nine UK bases in 2018. I thought they were already flying from nine (BFS, BHX, EMA, EDI, GLA, LBA, STN, MAN, NCL) which would discount a new base in 2018.

Tho.........EMA,STN & MAN are MAG owned together with....BOH......When EXS were setting up/announcing STN they seemed to be behind with the number of bases in some blurb I half recall...

The obvious new bases will be DUB and either BRS or CWL. Jet2holidays are not yet geared up for billing in Euro which will be a problem for DUB but package holidays are hugely popular in ROI and since the demise of Budget that market is desperate for a strong player.

Flew recently with Jet2 Holidays from STN - Faro and it was a great experience. Checked in at STN as we had suitcases.
Bought the whole package including hotel, normally built the holiday myself and flew Derry - Faro with Ryanair but Ryanair dropped the route this year. As someone else said Jet2 is like a Rollsroyce and Ryanair a Skoda, the experience totally different.
Jet2 have a base in BFS but amazingly for the same holiday it was cheaper for 5 of us to fly Derry - STN return with Flybmi and stay overnight in the Stansted Raddison for the early Jet2 flight than fly to Faro from BFS with JET2

Maybe not johnney... Northern Ireland holiday time is in July (2nd and 3rd Week normally) therefore prices from BFS tend to be high.
English holidays tend to be August so you can get good deals as scodaman did hopping over to England first of all. Vice versa in August now some good flight pricing from NI at moment
Agree Jet2 provide great service, using them to PMI in a weeks time and looking forward to great service and flight.........apart from the current hassle with passport control in PMI, but that's outside Jet2 control

Maybe 15 years ago I flew all 6 of us to Stansted, then to Tfs, saved over a £1000 both times as opposed to flying direct from Bfs. Used same accommodation as I had priced from Bfs. Have also went via Bristol twice for all-inclusive to Turkey, again saved a fortune both times. Nothing new, has been this way for many years.
Flown EZY, RYR, Jet2 this year and apart from RYR's garish interior, struggle to tell the difference. 
(and did I really read below that you pay to check in at the airport? I'm getting old....)

The rumours of Jet2 at CWL have been there for years, would be amazing to see them here too !!
