Jet2 Nightmare

Hi,

We booked a holiday with Jet2 last year and got back on Nov 10th 2013. We complained immediately due to 2 of our bags being damaged (1 has a big gash down the side and the feet knocked off). Also we complained as we paid for pre bookable seats and on the return journey , they didn't give us them as they had to change the plane. ALso the return journey was a nightmare as my parents were put at the back of the plane and us in the front and my mum is petrified of flying, hence why we pre booked.

I had a standard letter saying it would all be sorted within 28 days. 28 days passed and nothing so I phoned and was told they had sent a letter but obviously I didn't receive it. They said they would email me the contents of the letter and send the cheque out for the pre bookable seats. Its now 8wks later , still no cheque for the £60+ for the pre bookable seats and the email just basically said the bags should be tough enough for bumps and scrapes. (I saw the bag lad throw my case and a few others onto the belt , obviously this method is what is causing damage). I have now called at least 20 times , chasing up this refund and for my case to be replaced. The furthest I have got is that my case will only be repaired (the lad actually said they will probably just fix a patch over the rip) and that a manager will call me tomorrow. That same line has been the line they have used for the last 5 calls and that was from 3wks ago.

Im totally fed up , their customer service is shocking and I need help on how to get my money back. I have no faith in me getting a call tomorrow. I have threatened them verbally with the small claims court but to be honest, they didn't seem to care.

What are my chances of getting my money back and a new case if I go to the small claims court and how do I go on?

There you go again. Your accusing me of being disablist yet insinuating i am stupid and need to go back to school. The only person on this thread who is discriminatory is you. I can read perfectly well thanks. My parents are disablist, as is my nephew, as are 90% of the people i work with. Im hardly disablist. If you don't like how this forum is run, perhaps look for another one?

Cheque received today for full amount in full and final settlement. Not a single apology throughout from Jet2. Companies like this need to realise its not a 1 way street. Just booked a holiday for 19 of us to Lanzarote for September. That lack of apology and how they have treated me over this has cost them that booking. If I was a share holder, id be furious with how they deal with complaints as they have settled with me and just lost a profit of 10 times that by my reckoning.
