We booked with Jet 2 to fly to Dalaman in May this year. We booked on the 14th June last year to hopefully get a decent price. We paid £567 00 for return flights, onboard meals and a case each for the two of us. We did not reserve seats because we always turn up at the airport in plenty time to get decent seats together. When I went to check in online yester day I was given the choice to pick seats which would cost £38.00 or let them allocate seats. I could not turn up at the airport and get seats. I chose to let them allocate seats. We were given seats in row 9 b and e meaning we had someone on each side and the isle in between. According to the seating plan there were plenty unreserved seats all round about. Coming home we got seats together but in row 33 right next to the toilet again there were loads of unreserved seats all round. This is obviously done to get people to pay to reserve seats because they don't like the seats they were given. I could not find anyway to e mail a complaint on the Jet 2 website so I had to phone. The girl I spoke to said it was not possible to change seats unless I paid to reserve seats she also said they have to allocate the seats from the rear of the plane working toward the front, as there were no seats taken for at least 8 rows in front of row33 was I the first to check in? "I don't think so. I told the girl that we paid £567 00 last year and for the same deal now it would only cost£401.00 £156.00 cheaper I was told "thats just the chance you take" This is the sneaky money grabbing sort of thing you expect from Thomas Crook but I expected better from an airline I used to recommend. They have had our money in their bank since last year, surely they could have at least given us better seats considering the plane had at least half the seats unreserved.
