Yes. They would fly FROM Manchester, UK and Leeds/Bradford, UK TO Las Palmas.:confused:

Hi,

Long time lurker, 2nd time poster.

Could somebody shed some light on as to when Xmas flights specifically to either Murcia or Alicante are coming out. I have tried emailing Jet2 but have had no reply as of yet.

It would be nice if they were coming out in the not too distant future, I really don't want to book with anyone else, but at the moment I can go from Manchester with BMI Baby for £125 for the dates I require. I don't think that is too bad a price and may be tempted to book them this weekend.

Thanks in advance

Think if Bmibaby ever went up on offer Jet2 would take them on?

I know its pretty out of the blue but you never know, sure Jet2 could do it they wanted.

I think its the other way around actually I think bmi baby's aircraft are mainly mid 1990's frames but Jet2's start from 1986 to around 1990 so could be an investment for Jet2!

As far as I know, the average age of the Baby 73s are just over 13 years.
On the other hand, the average age of Jet 2 73s is just over 21 years....so not sure what point you are making though :confused:

I know most of us are pilots on here so we're not known for our great business minds but come on. Why the hell would anyone think it's a good investment for the Dart Group?? :confused:

1. Baby's aircraft are leased (I belive) so where is the gain in assets?
2. They are unionised so why on earth would PM risk all the extra costs of agreeing extra Terms and Conditions that would have to be passed on to Jet2 crews?
3. Why is buying a failing business, if indeed it is failing, a good idea?
4. Although there is an argument that Dart Group has always survived by making bold moves when everyone else is cutting back but isn't aquring baby 'a bridge too far'?
5. If your growing and changing a business into a charter / holiday one, why buy a low cost one that operates from bases with fellow competitors?

I won't go on, as I'm sure i've started enough for debate and a good drumming by fellow PPRuNer's!! :ouch:

What is doing Manchester-Murcia this summer, it is currently on a 737 but I thought this was a 757 route from May onwards?

anyone know how well jet2 nqy routes are selling?

baby aircraft
 

Having flown baby's boeing's prior to Jet2 i can confirm that the baby fleet is around 8-9 years younger than Jet2's, having said that they are leased and it a bit like a chav council estate where no money is spent.

There is nothing other than the brand, which very strong in the Midland, where Jet2 is all but unkown, to buy as every thing else is leased. The T&C's are much higher and probably worth another 10k a year, but if you want to live in North Leeds there's only Jet2 anyway!!

PM should save his brass for the fight to come with Ryanair that is bound to come to Leeds this year or next, we have become very expensive out of Leeds because there is no one else to compete with!! lol:suspect:

I won 2 flights for me and a friend.We requested flights from Leeds to Sharm el Sheikh on 3 different dates and got our first choice for feb next year.Keep on trying!.

We paid over £280 each to go this feb,so its a big saving.

Ex Cargo Clown,

Thank you so much for your useful post & wishing myself, my partner, my friends and my colleagues out of work.
I trust you have never been in this position, as you wouldn't wish this on anyone.

I think it only fair that the following is also posted on here:

Jet2.com's statement
"Firstly, Jet2.com would like to make an unreserved apology to Mr. and Mrs. O'Brien. It was never our intention that they should personally settle these costs as we believed they should have been covered by their insurance.

"We do appreciate the distress that this situation has caused them and we have taken the decision to cover the O'Briens' costs ourselves. We have reviewed our policy in this regard to ensure that all similar expenses are covered by us now and in the future."

Another Great Deal Friendlier blunder through blind cost cutting!

when are the managers of this airline going to realise that they are pi$$ing off thier customers and key staff with thier penny pinching stupidity.

Come on PM wake up and smell the coffee! Get the damn managers (in particular that CF woman) to justify the cost savings properly! Not short term robbing of T and C and the attempt to fleece passengers insurance companies with long term disasterous results! :ugh:

Dear EX Cargo Clown,

Perhaps you would have the courtesy to PM me - explaining why I, with over two decades of dedicated service to my country, along with all my highly professional, good natured, well-intentioned and hard-working colleagues are "absolute scum".

Jet2 isn't perfect, but it is a perfectly OK place to work when compared to the rest of the industry. Comments like yours are unnecessary, unhelpful and hurtful to real people - not the faceless functionaries of your immature imagination.

The hub of the problem is an Insurance Company which has refused to pay a legitimate invoice. Jet2 are getting all the adverse comment not the Insurance Company, but, I guess we are used to hearing about insurance companies who won't pay!!

Perhaps the problem was that the incident was not covered by the insurance policy.

It seems to me that Jet2 have acted hastily without knowledge of the full facts and perhaps deserve the adverse publicity.

Perhaps they did act hastily and are deservedly being criticised for that.

What is not warranted is the kind of vitriol posted by Ex Cargo Clown.

see ex cargo clown (apt name!) has removed his post or the mods have removed it for him.

Jet2 flights
 

Does anyone know why the winter flights to amsterdam from Leeds Bradford are not on the website, have they dropped the route or something

You're too early, they'll be there soon enough I'm sure.
