Is there any chance of Jet2 naming 3 of the latest additions to the fleet after the 3 bases without a named aircraft?
Surely one of the new ones could be 'Jet2 Blackpool', 'Jet2 Glasgow' or 'Jet2 East Midlands'? (I'm hoping at least the first one gets done!:8) There are 3 aircraft in their fleet with the same name: CELA/LSAE named 'Jet2 Newcastle' CELI/CELY named 'Jet2 Manchester' CELP/CELX named 'Jet2 Malaga' Why is this?!

If you had read my post properly you would know that I did not deal with jet2 on this matter.:= As for flybar.......... Personally, I'd have rang my travel insurance and asked them to sort it for me as opposed to doing it myself. When I had an accident on a business trip I rang my amex insurance and they did everything for me. Infact, that's even what Jet2 suggest We strongly recommend that our customers take out comprehensive travel insurance at the time of booking to cover for unforeseen eventualities that may prevent you from travelling as planned. |

Thank you for making valid points and not just defending jet2 as a cheerleader. My father was given permission to speak on her behalf. The situation in Tenerife was very fluid at the time and the priority was to sort things out, without causing this lady anymore undue stress. The phone call was made to jet2 25mins to late. None of the staff my father spoke to showed any compassion at all in this matter. As for insurance, its hard to get for over 75's apparently.

Perhaps a letter to customer services afterwards? When this happened to an old friend of mine with British Airways, they had to pay for relevant changes/charges and then send a copy of the death certificate in on which all the charges were refunded (minus non ref taxes)
I'm sure Jet2 would do the same in the situation |
Is this the Professional Passenger Rumour Network too...
But in short: look we all want to fly cheap and to be able to do so we all need to fit in the system. Anything outside the system can generally not be handled by the system (ie cheap staff with limited responsibilities). The best and in my view only way: make sure your request is noted at the time (e-mail is generally ok) and sort it out afterwards. The frontline staff cannot help you but customer service or as suggested your travelinsurance will sort it afterwards.. The average frontline staff get's 100s of "my mother died" or "my cat is pregnant" stories a month so it is not as special as it is for you and worse a lot of mothers die every other week... Now can we go back to talking airplanes? |
no ryr for me
Very sorry about that. In future I'll send me posts to you first so you can ok them before they go up. Again my utmost apologies for any upset caused.

How can righthandrule's post be "excellent" when its not accurate? How exactly is the following inaccurate. Whilst that is a tragic story, I completely agree with the view that this is what travel insurance is for. When people are happy to book a cheap flight you accept the terms and conditions and all airlines strongly reccomendaions you take out travel insurance to cover events like this. I cannot comment on the 'rude' staff with the 'crap attitude' but all calls are recorded and by all means pass it on that it would be investigated if a complaint was made. Staff are never intentionally rude, the full conversation will be on record. However rules are rules, and if one exception is made then why the hell would anyone ever stick to the rules again? If there was such an issue, I would strongly suggest you complain by the official methods and not on here so something would be done about it. However Zag23, you mentioned the crap attitude of the staff, you haven't exactly set a good example on attitude they way you responded to flybar who was giving a perfectly valid answer to your post. If thats the attitude and tone the Jet2 staff wwre faced with them I'm really not surprised they were shirty. I fully understand that it can be frustrating, and yes before you have a pop at me for being insensitive, I have been in a very similar situation myself and yes we dealt with it like adults as the marvellous Thomas Cook were just as helpful as a chocolate teapot. Just because someone is opposite in view to you and supportive of Jet2 it does not make them a cheerleader. They are equally as entitled to their view as you are to yours. |
Seems strange that both of you who are defending Jet2 (" Yorkshires Airline ") are from............Yorkshire. How can righthandrule's post be "excellent" when its not accurate? Before jumping in with your jetpooh cheerleading bit, perhaps read everything properly. Perhaps you should stop insulting anyone that responds to your post, people are entitled to their opinion just as much as you are yours. Moving on. Back to something actually related to this thread. There are 3 aircraft in their fleet with the same name: CELA/LSAE named 'Jet2 Newcastle' |
Come on no RYR for me....
This forum is under the heading AIRLINES, airports & routes. Not just airplanes. Customer service is all part of the fun of running an airline. |

"If thats the attitude and tone the Jet2 staff wwre faced with them I'm really not surprised they were shirty" this bit.:ugh:

Seems strange that both of you who are defending Jet2 (" Yorkshires Airline ") are from............Yorkshire. Someone in authority at Jet2 could have done something but they decided not to. Yes, rules are there but TCX have rules on overweight baggage but they were swerved at TFS. Was going to use jet2 to Alicante later in the year but they will not be getting any more of my business.If you had read my post properly you would know that I did not deal with jet2 on this matter. As for flybar.......... I pointed out that Travel Insurance would have covered this situation. It is possible to obtain Travel Insurance if you are a senior citizen, you just have to search a bit deeper to find it. I manage to insure my 90+ Father in law when he travels with us on holiday. I am happy to state where I live, yes I live 20 minutes from Jet2's headquarters, but I don't work for them and I don't sell insurance! |
In reply to COBHC's question regarding aircraft having destination 'names' , it appears Jet2 are slowly moving away from this as the aircraft are rolling out the hangers now in Jet2 Holidays livery.
I'm not sure of why the destination names idea stopped. Maybe because the lettering on the nose was too small for any real marketing value? I've never heard crews refer to the aircraft by their destination names, just the last letters of thier registrations. Sometimes fondly changed to names such as 'little princess' for LP, 'always breaking' for AB, 'little 'orrible' for LO and some rather rude ones which I won't write on a public forum but you get the idea!! |
Wasn't GLSAE the aircraft that was painted with the special logo for Newcastle Airports 75th birthday celebrations?

When Jet2 introduced one of the oldest 737-800's and gave it the registration G-GDFA........ within days I heard it being called something Awful and that turned out to be true!!
|
Wasn't FA a 300 ? Knew it as F*****D AGAIN.
|
Wasn't it G-GDFA the one they scrapped at LBA? I assume they found a problem that wasn't economic to fix. If I'm not mistaken it was a leased rather than owned ac so maybe the lease company made the decision.

It appears so, especially with the 757's but a real shame really, I like the eye catching red and silver livery far better. The Jet2 holidays livery looks cheap and tacky.
|
I wonder would they need to ask Allegiant permission to use it? after all they did adopt it from the leased aircraft.

Jet2 livery
I find the original Jet2 livery dated now.I much prefer the Jet2holidays colour scheme.
Maybe with the 10th anniversary looming,might be a good time for a new livery?:ooh: |
Jet2 expansion
Certainly looks like another year of expansion, with the Jet2 Holidays division alone, relocating to offices in Leeds city centre (Demand for Jet2 Holidays has gone through the roof over the last 12 months) as well as last weeks news of additional aircraft on the 737-300/800 fleet
Watch out for the Jet2 Holidays livery replacing the 'legacy livery' more and more as the holiday division gets even more popular... ;) All very positive and encouraging and long may it continue |
EMA
According to an article in today's Derby Telegraph, the Jet2 CE says that EMA will have 5 based aircraft this summer.
Mike |
Any chance of DSA seeing Jet 2. If they expanding.
And now Huy is on the up with vival Jet extra |
Wonder if we might see Jet2 return to NQY via the Jet2 Holiday route, UK package holidays or just flights ?
cs |
Why wouldnt they paint all new aircraft in they Jet2 holidays livery, its brighter, plus it free advertising for the business, which seems to be , by the sound of it a bigger part of Jet2 every month, Personally i prefer it to the grey colour, which was getting a bit long in the tooth, but that just me being spotterish. Im Sure Jet2 see the value in painting the aircraft this way , or they wouldnt do it.

Good news for Jet 2 at GLA, and some rather strange comments from HansKnees, does anyone recognise the ramblings?
Passenger numbers soar as Jet2 plans more aircraft for Glasgow - Transport - Scotsman.com G |
Looked like there were 2 B752 parked at Glasgow opposite stand 33/34 today
|
Jet2 seem to be getting rid of the extra legroom seats on the 757s?
|
G-LSAE is covering for G-LSAN which is tech.
|
Can anyone with insider knowledge let me know which aircraft type will be flying EMA-ACE this summer?
|
By the looks of the seating plan I checked last night for ema-ace it's a Boeing 757-200
|
Cheers Tom
|
G-THOP (now re-registered) left Lasham for Hurn Yesterday, should emerge in Jet2 colours soon.

extra legroom seats
I heard they are removing extra legroom seats due to a "sneak through" of legislation on APD from this crazy UK government.
Apparently extra leg room seats are now charged a higher APD rate (note 3): HM Revenue & Customs: Rates of Air Passenger Duty and see 2.5, lowest class of travel: HM Revenue & Customs The normal seats onboard would be charged APD at the reduced rate and the extra legroom seats would be at standard rate (as they are being marketed as a premium) placing an extra £63 tax on the seat! I doubt many people would want to pay an extra £63 in tax for extra legroom! Looks like they are going for the best option, to remove the extra legroom and maximize "normal seats" onboard to have one class charging APD at the reduced rate. Another victory for business by this government, on top of EU261 from the great European Union :\ What are we doing; the UK would be better off without this government and out the EU, but that's another discussion, somewhere else! obs |
"Good news for Jet 2 at GLA, and some rather strange comments from HansKnees, does anyone recognise the ramblings"
We all know to whom you refer, but we prefer you keep petty squabbles for the local spotter forums. Anyway, back to Jet 2. Will be interesting to see how long the 757's hang on for, seems most of the recent investments have been in 737's. GLA seems to have done well over the Winter, ofetn with 3 x 757's operating through. |
Chistle chistle chistle.........thats all this Government is capable of doing, as well as lecrturing us all at every turn about making sure we pay ever more tax blah blah blah. They just think we will blame the Airlines and cough up. Then they wonder why people prefer to use tradespeople that work for cash :ugh: Well done Jet 2 :D

10 years today!
I can't believe it was 10 years a go today that the first flight took off from Leeds/Bradford to Amsterdam.
I wonder what the next 10 years will bring?. |
I'll lay a pretty big bet that it won't be called 'Jet2' and it won't have the same Cheif Exec! He'd have flogged the lot off to some Holiday company and put his feet up.
Well done on the last 10 years though. I've heard so many PPRuNe 'experts' keep saying 'it will go bust soon' over the last decade. £54 million profit, 50 aircraft and a large haulage company isn't a bad Balance Sheet and I can think of a few airlines that would love to be in that position right now! |
