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..!
-
Please forgive me Jack 13 but isn't everyone now fuly aware that the flight price is now far removed from the final price.
-
Not over half as much again more surely?
-
Our flights were £ 450 "ish" plus the following
Bags £100.00
Online Check-in Charge £27.96
Seats £34.00
Payment card fee £15.65
-
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
-
was well aware of that highlander but not that much!!
-
here is the breakdown highlander. outbound flight 335euros. inbound flight 222euros. bags 127euros. online check in 36euros. seats 46euros. payment card fee 22euros.
total in pounds £744 and 62 pence.

We also looked at Jet2. We always fly from Aberdeen with T.C. and the costs are nearly £800.00 so when we saw the Jet2 advert my husband said if we were saving so much money it would be worth driving to Glasgow. However, as soon as I went online and started to put in all the extras it was working out the same as going from Aberdeen, so no point at all.
-
We have all had gripes about TC but if you buy a 'bundle' for £31 which is 20K hold luggage, meals, seat selection and a confirmation text (for the return trip), you cannot beat this, unless you fly with my favourite Turkish Airlines. Jet2 seem to be the most expensive for add ons, it's disgraceful. You also have your hand luggage allowance in addition to the above - bargain.
-
Ray, the problem with T.C. and their bundles is, when they sell off their flights to Turkish Airlines, which they do for some of the Aberdeen flights, there is no bundle. All you pay for is the flight and a suitcase. In 2012 when my son was getting married. We had no way of findiing out if we could take the dress as hand luggage. After many, many calls to T.C. They gave us Pegasus phone numbers. Pegasus told us there was no such flight. When we got back to T.C. they told us that they only give Pegasus all the passenger/flight details 72 hours before the flight. We eventually took this to the Trading Standards who were amazed that T.C. would sell off a flight and wash their hands of customers.
The other problem is there is no way of knowing if there is food on the flight. We asked the girls at the desk and they told us they did not know. In fact, all there was available was crisps and chocolate bars. Now, we make sure we eat before the flight and take some snacks with us.
-
Forgive my Ray1951 but I believe your post to be rubbish.
If you click the £ 31 deal offer hold luggage is automatically added at £ 22 per person each way
-
Jacqui, I booked my flight with TC, flying from Edinburgh (Pegasus TC) and returning to Glasgow (TC) £162 for 19 nights. If I use TC, I always book the bundle but my friend told me that this wouldn't be available because TC were using Pegasus on the outbound flight. I have to say that I have flown with Pegasus on several occasions, and found their food to be excellent and is not necessary to pre-order. Anyway from the luggage point of view I decided to add the bundle (which I usually book when I use TC). I was able to add the bundle and choose my seats, my meal, 20K hold luggage plus my 5K hand luggage, both ways. For Higlander to say that my post is rubbish, he must have been over indulging in the 'amber nectar' because I can assure you that this is what I will receive just as I have in the past and I have had it verified. Maybe they just like me ! Seriously this is available for anyone booking a TC return flight and as I said - excellent value.
-
Ray1951 - I am perfectly willing to be proved wrong.
Did you book through Thomas Cook or flythomascook
-
I'll be on Jet2 next thursday - a final long weekend with the family before my new life. Going to the Costa del Warner (Benidorm) for the first time ever. 4 return flights from EDI, £96 each. No complaints here :)
-
Are you going to tell us what this "new life" is Scunner or just torment for ever?? :-X
And to avoid being told to stay on topic - I can't be doing with TC flights cos erm, erm……..the seats are too small. :o
-
Ray1951 - my humble, humble apologies - I saw the bags added but not the saving. The bundle is indeed £ 31.00 per person
However beware !
The cost of the equivalent flight on our dates with Jet 2 is 10 % cheaper than the Thomas Cook one.
-
A man's a man for a' that Highlander. Thanks for the apology. I shall but you a dram o' the amber nectar if you're in Calis betwen 2 & 17 June.
-
scunner say hello to my very good friend ricky stevens who is in the talk of the town. one of the best acts in Benidorm. tell him to buy u a drink and I will see him later lol. just tellhim jack Aitken will pay. he will understand.
-
I'm the sort of person that might just do things like this Jack :D
-
Free drinks all night on Jack 13 for the fambo Keith. Sorted. ;D
-
I booked through flythomascook.
-
Just looked at Jet2 going out on 8 May one way was £190.00. Looked at a return flight going out 8 May (same flight) returning on 25 May, the flight out was £110 coming back was £70. Don't get why the same flight can either be £190 or £110 ???????? Would be cheaper to book the return flight and just use the outbound - makes no sense !!!!
-
that's where we started. what about the add ons?
