Any experience of Jet2?

[orienteerer]

I'm about to book flights on Jet2, anyone want to share their experiences with me (good or bad)? I've done EasyJet, BMI Baby & SkyEurope before, refuse to fly Ryanair. Which of these categories does Jet2 fall into, and do I need to bother pre booking seats (otherwise allocated at check-in), travelling with DS(7) on 5 hour flight.

My mum and her friend flew with Jet2 from Newcastle to Pisa last year. They didn't book seats but were together anyway. It was fine - basic but fine. Better than Ryanair anyway!

We went with Jet2 to Portugal a couple of years ago. No problems at all. We booked our seats.

Thanks for the swift replies, anymore?

Have used them a few times as they fly direct from Budapest to Manchester. Never had a problem - they are mech better than ryanair. Evan dh will fly them & he normally refuses budget airlines!

OK, sounds like we might survive. Main concern is that it is a 5 hour no frills flight!

I have used them a couple of times now and been pretty impressed with them as a budget airline. Travelled with 2 x DC. Just for your info by law a child has to sit with the adult which they are travelling with - I found it on a website last time we were travelling and printed it off in case we had any problems sitting together but it wasn't an issue

We used them last year, They were fine, staff were friendly , plane was clean. I would say they were better than Easyjet or Ryanair , you can prebook seats and there is no scrum to get on the plane.
You can actually take a decent amount of luggage (22kgs) rather than the 15kgs some of the cheaper airlines allow.
I would use them again.

have used jet2 for the last 3 years on the run

perfectly fine, no-frills flights every time

the website is fine, check-in very efficient, absolutely no delays, found prices to be the cheapest among the most "well-known" cheap operations

< crosses fingers and knocks on wood for our jet2 flights in May >

go ahead, it will be fine
