re glasgow flights with jet 2.
« on: February 13, 2014, 22:24:26 PM »
just to inform anybody flying from Glasgow with jet 2 in September. just booked 2 returns which started off at £450. I thought good price. final price £720. that's over £270 on add ons. absolute scandal. do they really want tourists? have to go home or I would have told them where to stick it.

We've had only good experiences with Jet2, but we only use them for short trips and weekends away with hand baggage only - and no add-ons. What was the £270 made up of? I agree that is difficult to take..!

Not over half as much again more surely?

Seats? I've never managed to get seats away from the wife and kids! £100 for bags sounds incredible. Was that Jet2 also?

I don't get this check-in online charge either, that saves them money!!

Yes Jet2 - who we enjoyed flying with in 2013 for the first time

Agreed re seats away from the missus who not only could snore for Scotland (sorry darling) but complains bitterly about 3 g&t's for a tenner.

I avoid these extra charges like the plague - never pay by credit card, always hand baggage only (it's easily done for 2-5 days) and I only paid for seats once. I took the long suffering for a romantic weekend in Venice (on Jet2 actually), booked extra legroom seats 1A & 1B, and they were nearest to the door - let me tell you, on a fresh Edinburgh morning, we were frozen solid! And I paid extra for that!

I think Jet2 charge one fee for online check in and a higher fee for airport check in.
So in my book they should charge the base price including the online check in fee and advertise that with an extra charge for checking in at the airport.
The way we are going flights will be £10 each + £100 bags+ £50 check in+ £50 to use the airbridge etc it is getting rediculous.

People are reporting that the 10% off code is still working on Jet2 although it is supposed to be expired
