FabSwingers.com forum: Jet2 statement

Jet2 are repatronising as many as they can by sending out empty aircraft and bringing people home till Saturday evening, if any spare seats on the planes they will take people who cant get back with other airlines.

Last week when they turned the aircraft around mid-flight this was because they found out about all the lockdowns all over europe, so instead of sending people to have a holiday trapped in their hotel rooms, they would rather bring them back, have a full refund and the chance to rebook if they want later on.

As far as I'm told as from next week and as Europe is on lockdown, we are suspending all flights till May 1st unless things change in the meantime.

If they do I will make a new post.

Sorry to all those people who have booked holidays and hope it all works out and we all stay safe and healthy.

Much love

Thanks for the info, was due to go to PDI in May but that's now a non starter by the looks of things

Hard to know when to re book as this thing could go on for months

Stay safe

Thanks for the updates x

Was due to fly on the 26th April so guess I'll get an email nearer the time offering a refund.

More than likely yes, they have moved people fro. Loads of different departments to contact people due to fly out to discuss what options they want

Stay safe x

We are due to fly to Gran Canaria on the 16th with jet2 but checked our booking today and had an offer to reschedule our trip with no admin fee, nothing yet about a refund but I suppose they are dealing with people with closer departure dates first.

More than likely yes, they have people constantly monitoring the situation and when it gets nearer they will contact you to see what you want to do. Hoping things would start to clear up by then x

Unable to get through to Jet2 today by phone, but fairly quick engagement via Web Chat. Sorted everything and full refund organised there and then. Seems web chat is the way to go!

Our flight wasn't until 23rd April but just checked in to "Manage Booking" on Jet2 App and have the flight withdrawn message and an explanation of options available. It does say they are trying to deal with those due to fly soonest, first but at least we have certainty. Well done Jet2, in my opinion

My flight was cancelled after I checked in on Saturday, can't get through on the phones, and can't find live chat, anyone have any ideas as to what happens regarding a refund, or re booking. Thanks in advance

When were you due to fly?

We were due on the 4th April but they told us today that they cannot offer any options either refund or rebook etc until nearer the time.

Have you logged on to App under 'Manage Booking'? Is yours a Jet2 flight, or holiday?

was due to fly out on Saturday, on a package holiday with jet 2, got as far as the departure gate, then told it was cancelled and to ring jet 2, but they are obviously very busy, just wondered if they do get in touch with you, add I can't get hold of anyone there

We are suppose to be going with ryaniair at end of April

Told that all flights are grounded for 4 weeks but what happens after that

Surely they won’t start up again as I doubt everything will be back to normal in Gran Canaria by then

Hopefully people will remember which airlines treated them fairly and support them going forward and don’t even get tempted to look at the one that it seems, anecdotally, are trying to wriggle out of their obligations.

Hopefully your job is going to be ok OP and thank you for keeping us all updated.

It's very unlikely they will start up any time soon

We have booked with jet2 and logged on today to find out we can change the date or hotel etc but nothing about a refund, there was a comment box and we have asked for refund because if we move dates of holiday etc it would cost us another £1000 on top of what we have already paid

if you are due to fly out this year in the coming months ,better to reshedule for next year that will save you any loss on existing booking , and just transfered across to new booking for 2021 , with jet2 , best to give circumstances to settle down , with jet2 full refund not guaranteed , as i found out ,only running up until the 1st may 2020, therefore no information after that, so when making a new booking consider timeframe for coronavirus say the possiblity from may 2021 onwards ,best deal ive found for jet2, just a suggestion where possibility for any booking ,dosen,t mean you can use it against any future booking in any destination ,not just canary islands , hope this will help ,

Given how other companies are acting this puts Jet2 top of my list for when life returns to a more normal state

For the last few years we have only flown with Jet2 - never had an issue - might be more expensive than some others - but always have great service & flight times

In May when we planned to return to UK from Fuerteventura, Jet2 are offering flights to Edinburgh way cheaper than Ryanair and they include our usual 10kg of hand baggage too.

Advise everybody to pay for prospective flights using a credit card, then no worries about getting a refund if any airlines fail to survive. The act of paying for a future flight now might even help some to survive.
