About Jet2
Jet2 is a UK leisure airline specialising in package holidays and scheduled flights to Mediterranean, Canary Islands, and long-haul destinations from regional UK airports including Manchester, Leeds, and Edinburgh. It consistently scores well on customer service for a low-cost carrier and includes a 22kg hold bag in its standard fare — unusual in the LCC market. UK261 compensation rights apply to all Jet2 flights departing UK airports.
Key strengths: 22kg hold bag included in standard fare — rare among European LCCs. Strong regional UK coverage from Manchester, Leeds, and Edinburgh. Consistently high customer satisfaction scores for a budget carrier. Areas for improvement: Leisure-focused network with limited business-travel routes. Older Boeing 737-800 fleet on many routes. Peak-season pricing can approach full-service carrier fares.
