Fact is, CV19 is here to stay - vaccine or no vaccine. Jet2, like every other business, is caught up in it. It is irrelevant whether anyone saw it coming or not.
|
I was hoping Jet2 might become more flexible with flights and holidays as I know many who are uncomfortable at the thought of travelling abroad at the moment.

Fact is new cases are down into three figures daily on Spain, Italy, Greece and Portugal. Slovenia has declared an end to it's epidemic, and most countries in central Europe are starting to open up to inbound tourism over the next couple of weeks. If I were to be fearful of anything it might be staying in the UK! Biggest issue is probably the risk involved in being couped up in an aluminium tube for 3 or 4 hours. |

I appreciate you’ve lost all respect for me because I expressed some facts - and I mean facts - about our Prime Minister that aren’t comfortable for his supporters which are evidently numerous in the Luton and Southend threads but this just isn’t true, or at least shouldn’t be true. I know the exact sequence of events and dates because I was caught up in it early on. It was clear by w/c 24/01 this was a major threat and other countries were taking action. The elephant in the room is what our Government and the media were completely pre-occupied with w/c 24/01, culminating in the evening of 31/01
and morning of 01/02. And where they were, the Prime Minister in particular, in the three critical weeks after that. The medical profession very much saw this coming and (hopefully) all will come out in a proper Public Inquiry. Hindsight sadly didn’t need to be required. |
Mods...Please might I respectfully ask that all these above `Experts` `Hindsight not required merchants` and those with a complete blueprint for how to deal with the virus` have their posts moved to the more appropriate Jet Blast. That would serve to allow the rest of us to report on Jet2.
Speaking of which, they are being very flexible at the moment so if you have any sort of booking and want to change, I`m told to try the Sales teams who are manning the phones (might be a delay connecting though) and they will try to help assist and change where they can. |
Just to get back onto Jet2 track.
My friend was due to visit from Malaga to Manchester. His northbound flight was in the cancelled time period his southbound return was not. Yesterday he got his full refund. Today he booked his June 2021 flights. Well done Jet2. NO VOUCHERS NO HASSLE EZY RYR TUI Please note customer care= customer loyalty !!!! David |

Just google Spanish holidays. Plenty of stories reporting that they will be open with no quarantine from 1st July. Hopefully a move in the right direction.
|
Foreign visitors to Spain will no longer have to undergo a two-week quarantine from 1 July, the government has announced. It said the measure had been finalised in a cabinet meeting on Monday. |
Thanks everyone......lets hope the ' foreign tourists' include us Brits

Don't rush
Update from Spanish PM....... The PM Pedro Sánchez has mentioned the end of June or beginning of July to regain freedom of movement throughout the country and urged the regional presidents to promote national tourism as the one that “pushes and pulls the car” this summer season. The Canary Islands President described this as good news for the Canary Islands but stressed the need for passengers to arrive with negative PCR tests for the COVID-19 virus and always strictly complying with international protocols on health security for tourism, processes that must be approved and applied before the restart of this activity. Torres also added it will be necessary to add a system that allows controlling the traceability of visitors and said, “only then will it be time to open hotels.. It will be interesting to see what happens when domestic travel is fully unlocked and residents can travel from areas which have had major outbreaks to those which haven't |

FFHKG Thanks appreciate it

Good question especially as Greece not 'open' yet and even when it is we are, quite rightly, not wanted.
Almost all the European tourist centres can‘t wait for the Brits to return and in numbers ! The current resistance is rather more routed in decisions made in and around Whitehall ! |

Snakes bite
When I was growing up in the northern countryside my Dad gave me good advice - "if you are out waking and stand on an adders head, be sure to keep your foot on its neck until its dead. If you take your foot off too soon, it'll bite you probably harder than it might have done first time."
Remember that when our super-lax, very British way of not dealing with Covid19 properly first time round, alliows it to come back with a Vengeance (about 21 days after the those essential things called Pubs etc reopen?). |

Ah, but what was the trip purpose OR why Athens?
Just curious. There were a couple Jet2 charter flights recently to/from OTP to pick up fruit pickers to work in the U.K., but I’ve no idea what the reason behind these Athens charters is. |
Positioning callsign for the return so must've been carrying passengers out. Quick skim through FR24 departures, potentially passengers transferring to CA864?
|
Probably a repatriation flight taking Greeks back to Athens in the absence of schedule services.
Why would Jet2 be taking people to connect to an Air China flight from Athens when 6x Air China aircraft leave LHR every day? |

Because that flight had capacity and LHR didn't ?
And why is taking passengers to Athens to connect independently onto an Air China flight more likely than simply taking some of the many Greeks that reside in London, particularly North London, back to Athens as their country opens up but no direct scheduled flights from London exist? |
There are severe restrictions on passenger flights to China, along the lines of once per week from an individual country per carrier. I maybe wrong on the specifics, but I'm pretty certain Air China can only do 1 passenger flight per week from LHR to PEK
|
Then they’d have been able to put a flight from LHR to PEK on, as they currently do zero per week (for passengers).
I’m not sure what the point of the discussion is. Jet2 aren’t flying people to Athens to connect to an Air China flight. The suggestion was daft and doesn’t warrant a thread drift. |
The Sale of Fowler Welch
I see that Jet2s owner has sold its distribution and logistics business for almost £100 million, to concentrate on its airline and tour operating interests.
I used to work for an Airline & Engineering company that also over the years sold off its assets, until it owned next to nothing and as such is no longer here. Its not always a good idea to put all your eggs in one basket, they have sold off the only part of the business that is likely to make a profit in this financial year. :uhoh: |

You really think that the profits from FWC are in any way significant enough to run an airline during a pandemic? |
