Oh dear, no on-demand entertainment for a 7 hour flight to JFK. The world ends. Of course, each to their own but I pity those who can't manage a few hours without needing to watch some Hollywood drivel or playing repetitive computer games. Whatever happened to reading a book, listening to music or shock, horror talking to the person next to you.....I would agree with comments made about the food though, after my last Jet2 'meal' I now take my own on board. i'm sure Jet2 will do well with these flights, lack of IFE and bad food notwithstanding

Boeing 757 gasper vents
Do Jet2's 757 fleet have gasper vents? I've got to fly with them this summer and I do like to have some air flowing towards me, to be honest ill be lucky if I don't get a 16 hour delay

TCX are not dropping BJL, flights are almost always full and is quite a moneymaker.
Maybe LS wants to get in on the action, or could be ad-hoc for someone like the Gamiba Experience.

Charlie98:
Yes, the 757 has 'gasper' vents overhead as well as vent panels on the floor.
The APU will need to be running with at least one air conditioning pack on - but if you're somewhere warm, it will be.
They are switched off during engine start as the air is required to spin the engines up. Always makes me smile when I'm sat in the back and all the pax start fiddling with the gaspers during engine start and start complaining (whiney voice)'my blower doesn't work....'
As for a 16 hr delay, you'd be extremely unlucky. I can assure you if it starts getting towards a 2 hr delay that looks like it could go to 3 hrs, the airline will be doing everything it can. Of course I should say, in fairness, the airlines do try hard not to have any delays at all........

Fleet
With the arrival of outstanding a/c, and including the three leased additions, shouldn't the fleet total 53 for the summer?

757SB / Charlie98...
...though there is one airframe (AD I think) which doesn't have gasper vents. All the others do.
Charlie98, as 757SB alluded to, Jet2.com are probably one of the airlines least likely to experience big delays!

Johnny F@rt Pants - well spotted, it was BLK not EMA!
jethro15 - fleet is 51 (52 including the freighter)
757 - AA AB AC AD AE AG AH AI AJ AK AN & Titan (11)
737-800 - FC FD FF FJ FP FR FV & 2x Travel Service (9)
737-300 -LA LB LC LD LE LF LG LH LI LJ LK LO LP LR LS LU LV LX LY LZ, FB FE FG FH FH FL FM FN FO FS FT (31) + LW frieghter
I think this summer Jet2 will be one of the most punctual airlines in the UK, last year only one standby 757 which was usually the one that was due maintenance at the particular time and consequently not able to actually act as standby. This year 5 standby aircraft, two based in ALC to bring back any stranded flights. No more putting 230 people up in a hotel cos of a tech delay, those ALC 737's will be hopping all over to bring holidaymakers home.
