I agree with Colin Davis (12th May). I have just printed two of my friends boarding cards -
they were automatically allocated seats at different ends of the plane. On checking other
seats, there were seats available for them to sit together. Jet 2 are deliberately splitting
up couples to gain extra cash from their fare payers. I am travelling back myself from
Tenerife to England, and no doubt when I print my boarding card off we will be separated,
however with a good book no need to worry. Why dont Jet 2 be honest when advertising prices
of fares. Is this a relatively new idea as we have not had this problem in the past?

Travelled with Jet2 to Alicante and back. Very old 757 with poor legroom, no aircon on return
journey. Refreshment prices a rip off, did not buy anything on principle. Plane full of stag
and hen parties, spread all over plane due to rip off booking system. First and last trip on
no frills airline.

We use Jet2 regularly PRG-LBA. They are the worst low cost airline for the "add ons' so really
almost at full service airline charge. Despite their old Boeings, staff are generally pleasant
and helpful and they take West Yorkshire seriously - more than can be said for BMI, Easyjet,
Ryanair, KLM-Air France etc. So, despite this very bad "add it on" policy, they are a good
option for those of us who live in West Yorkshire.

Convenient flights from Leeds Bradford, with their own check in hall; very organised and no
issues. LBA-AMS service good, aircraft clean and staff friendly.

We will make every effort not to use Jet2.com ever again. Using online check in for the first
time we arrived at Liverpool airport and joined the relatively short queue having been told
that the flight was running 1 hour late. The battleground at the check in desk had to be seen
to be believed as Jet2 staff argued with customers that their hold luggage was too big in at
least 50% of instances. All customers, including ourselves, argued that the measurements had
been checked at home and they conformed to the Jet2 ts&cs. However, because the wheels or the
handle touched the ends of the 'jet2.com sizer' they were ruled oversize and a further £19.99
was lifted from the (no longer) unsuspecting passenger. What a pity that passengers aren't
supplied with their very own Jet2 sizers so they can check before they leave home!! Some
passengers ripped handles off to make the bags conform to this member of staff's 'rules'
another found a workmen and asked him to saw off the tiny 'legs' on hers. The inflexibility of
this rule / member of staff does the airline no credit whatsoever and will drive customers
away to the competition. It is lousy to start a holiday with a row but then Jet2 aren't really
interested in the well being of their customers. The seat booking situation is another
nonsense. We were lucky and got 2 seats together (albeit at the very back) but some families
were spread all over the cabin in single seats because they chose not pay to book adjacent
seats. It isn't good enough to tell us that this is what we should expect from a low cost
airline - a level of customer service should be built in to any price.

I flew to Budapest from Manchester last week on Jet2 with my friend on the same booking. My
gripe is on their pre-allocated seating policy. If you rely on the "system pre-allocated"
seats don't expect to sit together - as the system effectively breaks up the booking and
places you a row or two apart - thus forcing you to pay the £6 charge to move seats if you
want to sit together. There were loads of groups and travellers split up in this needless
fashion on my flight. Its pretty obvious why! And don't bother phoning the 0871 number to
complain where you pay the additional charges. Come on Jet2 - sort it out - please don't
become another Ryanair otherwise we'll have to add you to our banned list too!

No smiles at check-in, you felt the staff at the bag drop off were unhappy that you were below
the weight limit! I have no problem with the price add-ons, we have become used to them even
though they are irritating! The most unsavoury part of my recent trip to Tenerife was the
attitude of a ground staff supervisor at check-in who insisted that I had not checked in (by
e-mail) correctly - even though my ticket confirmed I had checked-in online. The lady had
delight in insisting that I pay £12 and even greater joy when she claimed we were over by
1.5kg - more money, quite incredible as we returned with less baggage!

Flown a few times from Leeds and Bradford to Murcia. Always on time. Take on own food and just
buy drinks. Do not bother with extras - and judging by the way at Easter they were still
trying to flog extra space seats on the plane nobody else does much either. Why they cannot be
honest with the full price up front I do not know. Not including luggage is OK, but all the
compulsory stuff as extras is daft. Get what you pay for.

We have been using Jet 2 about four times a year to fly to Tenerife. Every time we use them
they seem to have thought up yet another trick to extract more money out of you. This time we
opted for on line check in, only to find we had been allocated seats at the back of the plane
which were not together. We were politely prompted to pay another £12.00 if we wanted to
change our seats to sit together. Come on Jet 2 just be honest and quote a proper fare and
stop treating the travelling public like morons.

Edinburgh - Prague, return. Flights on time. Used online check in and carried hand baggage
only. Jet 2 booking system is more difficult than most to get a hang of. Flights were quite
expensive - small lead in fare turned into a much bigger price when taxes and charges were
added.

Leeds/Bradford to Barcelona return. Both flights on time, staff friendly and helpful, no
problems at check in at either end. I would recommend online check in, plenty of leg room -
although to be fair I'm not a giant. Choice of refreshments limited and expensive but similar
to other airlines.

Leeds to Sharm el Sheikh return. Flights more or less on time both ways. Leg room is tight,
and for 5+hours not very comfortable. If I fly with them again to Egypt will pay for extra
legroom seats. Service on board fine. Cabin crew friendly and helpful. Drinks not cheap on
board,£3.50 for wine or spirits. Sandwiches or toasties £3.50 each.No inflight entertainment
onboard, you can hire personal hand held players for £8. Have flown Jet2 several times,and
think they are one of the better low cost airlines, although they are not as cheap as they
used to be!

Have done many flights with Jet2 recently, mainly between Blackpool and Murcia. The main
problem I notice is that all the planes are quite ancient. Otherwise I have found the Jet2
staff excellent, and they try to run ahead of schedule. The web site is generally very good
but with the odd quirk. Incidentally Blackpool Airport is great and has a very friendly
atmosphere.

MAN-SSH return booked as part of a package holiday with Libra Holidays. Tired-looking 757s
in each direction with the worst seat pitch I've ever come across. Hard-working crew who were
very professional and pleasant. No inflight entertainment apart from watching the passengers
fight over the last toastie on the return flight. Very slow food and beverage service. Delay
on the return flight due to a 'minor technical problem' but the aircraft still sounded like a
broken washing machine all the way home. Wouldn't fly with them again unless I had no other
choice.

The website would not allow me to book without selecting seats; thus incurring additional
cost. By the time that I had been through the loop a couple of times to try to book without
reserving seats, the basic price had increased. I ended up paying an additional charge of
£20.00 plus seat reservation charges of £4.98 x 4 (2 trips for 2 people). Not a very
satisfactory experience. I sincerely hope that the check-in and flights are much better.

The worst airline I have travelled with. They are a bunch of cowboys. It started with the
booking. We were three travellers and when we tried to book together, the price per seat was
£20 more each (before the added percentage for just paying), than if we booked seperately but
added to their 'shopping cart', which is what we did obviously. Our flights were Edinburgh to
Chambery. We were late both ways, and they lied to us about the reasons (airport said it was
due to the plane being cleaned, which it hadn't been, and pilot said it was due to the ground
staff not providing bus to get us to the plane - someone is telling lies!!). When we arrived
in Chambery, we had all our luggage except our snowboard bag, in common with many others on
the flight. There was no announcement and we waited in the chaos of the airport with no
information being given until someone went and asked at the airport information desk. They
advised the bags had been left behind. Considering they knew this on the plane, they could at
least have told us! We received a letter from jet2 advising they did not deliver on to to
your resort if the luggage was delayed. They also advised they would phone us when it arrived
and we were free to collect it then. We searched for their representative in the airport and
even put out a tannoy for them. After 2 hours, she appeared and was the most unhelpful rep I
have ever met. She advised that it was in the small print that there was nothing we could do
to get our stuff delivered, despite the fact it would cost several hundred euros to come back
and pick the bag up, not to mention the time out our skiing holiday! She refused to give us a
customer service number, and said there wasn't one, and that even she didn't have one - a lie,
since I found one on their web site. No one from Jet2 phoned us, and we only found out our
bag had arrived because we kept phoning Chambery airport and it appeared a couple of days
later. I have read through all the terms and conditions now and I cant find any clause saying
they dont deliver baggage that is delayed by them. Oh, and when we asked the reason for the
delay, we got a story about it being something to do with the weather conditions, so they
didn't put all the luggage on, yet other flights from Glasgow to Chambery arriving at the same
time seemed to manage it! Dont book with them, let them go under in the the credit crunch.

MAN-TFS return. It has to be said that the final ticket price wasn't all that low cost in
comparison to the alternatives. Jet2 baggage allowance is 22kg for checked in luggage and
10kg for hand luggage. Considering the sporting nature of my trip and the extra equipment I
was carrying this was a significant factor in my choice. The aircraft was a B757-200. While
the cabin had a slightly well used feel to it, it wasn't dirty or tatty. While Jet2's leg room
is nothing fantastic it is not the worst I've experience when flying to Tenerife. Thomas Cook
get that award. The seat in general was comfortable enough, although the aisle seat arm rest
is of a type that can't be raised. No inflight entertainment as standard. You can hire
portable video players on board. I pre-booked meals at the time of booking and food was
remarkably good for such a flight and by doing so I probably saved money (or had better value
for money) over those that chose to buy a snack and drink on board. The cabin crew both out
and inbound were great. The flights were on time. Jet2 have done a good job of wiping out my
preconceptions about low cost airline travel - I was very pleased with my flights and service.

Leeds-Dusseldorf-Leeds. Jet2 check-in area at Leeds good with very fast check-in. Outward flight
left on time. Return flight 30 mins late. Ground staff friendly and helpful. Flight attendants are
ok but need to smile a little bit. Leg room a little cramped but overall good for a low cost carrier.

MAN-TFS-MAN. Cabin staff were attentive and efficient. The only complaint is the restricted leg
room, but so are the other companies.

Paid for seats on flight as this allowed you to pre check in and drop off baggage and not have to
wait in line at check in. But when I got to Edinburgh airport the drop off facility was not in use
there nor at Murcia, so I paid for service they did not provide.

MAN-PMI-MAN First time with Jet2.com and we only booked with them because their October flights are
released well in advance of those of easyJet. Checked in at airports as it was cheaper and at both
ends was quick and efficient. Flight crews pleasant and hardworking: chief stewardess on the return
flight even negotiated seat changes so that one couple could sit together. Aircraft were not the
most modern we have flown on - 737 out and 757 back - but were tolerable for flights of just over 2
hours. Minimal delay on outward flight while return flight left ahead of time and landed 25 minutes
early. Only gripe (apart from the extra charges like fuel surcharge) was the chill on the outgoing
plane when we boarded, especially when we sat down on the "leather" seats. There were more than a
few sharp intakes of breath as passengers dressed for a week in Majorca touched down on cold
leather!

started at £87 then + hold bag + golf clubs + fuel charge (£12 short haul) ended up at £166 then at
the end 1.75% of charge to pay by debit card, never heard of anything like this for paying by debit
card so did not proceed. Rating below for last trip.
