Just checked in online for my first Jet 2 flight to Gran Canaria on sunday (I am soooooooooooooo excited :))

I have never checked in online before so I have downloaded my boarding passes onto the Jet 2 App which I have on my phone, so do I just show this to the check in staff when I hand over my hold luggage or do I still need to print something off ?? )Sorry I am a bit old fashioned and much prefer good old paperwork, Lol.

Camera will be at the ready for plenty of pics and maybe some video footage but it wont be on the scale of my Barcelona trip, this trip is for pure relaxation only which I need after a busy summer at work. :cool:

Cant wait to give you my full F4A trip report when I return back home.

They will ask to see it at the desk or if you use the self serve machines you just scan it direct from the screen. After check-in make sure that your boarding pass is still on your screen and ready to scan as you approach security, just beep the barcode on the scanner and the gates will open. The procedure will be the same when you start boarding and it's worth keeping it on the screen as you get to the aircraft in case the cabin crew want to see it (in my experience some have, some haven't).

You can print a paper copy as well for peace of mind but I've gone through several times now with just the digital copy and if I can do it then anyone can :)

I'm very much looking forward to your trip report but don't want to wish away your week of relaxation.

Have an amazing holiday :)

Yep they'll scan the barcode on it and most likely the same when you go through security and boarding.
 
As said just wave your phone at them and it will be fine not that we have ever done it as like you we like a bit of paper, have a great time BrumX which part of Gran Canaria are going to ?
 
I think we were the only ones who had digital boarding passes when we flew with Jet2 - everyone else has the printed ones. It wasn’t an issue though. Just make sure you don’t waste all your battery taking photos before you board as they might not let you on the plane!!!!
 
I'd also say not to be scared of using the self serve bag drop, I've avoided up until now but had a go last time and it was remarkably easy. They were TUi machines but I can't imagine Jet2 being much different.

Place your bag on the scales, scan your boarding pass, press confirm and it prints out a label. Attach this label to your bag, collect the receipt than head to bag drop and say goodbye to your luggage :)

The on screen instructions were very clear (y)

Oh yeah that's a really good point thunder, lol
 
Kevin has a point, I do have a mobile but never use it because I cannot speak and one useless arm prevents gainful use of modern mobile telephone. Much prefer a ticket with a nice airline wallet to keep.
 
Next winter is starting to be released, so far we have

Paphos showing 2x weekly throughout then 4x weekly from the end of March.

Nice stops for winter but returns 2x weekly at the start of March.

Malta returns weekly from mid Feb.

Faro, Alicante, Las Palmas, Arrecife, Palma, Malaga and Antalya have the usual varying frequencies which I'll look at in more detail when I get home.
 
Hola :)

I have returned back from my holiday to Gran Canaria and I had a fantastic time, didn't want to come back home :cry:

BHX

My experience of Birmingham airport was faultless going out and coming back, the airport was very busy as it is always during the early part of the afternoon when lots of the 2nd wave of holiday flights start departing to the sunshine resorts. I didn't go into one of the lounges this year as I wanted to eat in one of the other airport restaurants so I headed to Wetherspoons which was decent enough. We boarded the plane via steps outward and also on our return but the thing that impressed me the most was how quick I was out of the airport on Sunday night.

Considering at around 1am there was around 3/4 Jet 2 arrivals, hats off to Jet 2 handling as I was off the plane, through security, baggage reclaim and out of the arrivals in less than 30 minutes. I have never been out of BHX quicker than at Las Palmas (y)

Jet 2

I had my doubts when booking with Jet 2 back in February however it is one of the best flights I have ever had, nothing is too much trouble with anybody who you come into contact with whether it is Jet 2 cabin crew or a Jet 2 representative at the airport, they are everywhere both at BHX and LPA.

The flight was comfortable and my seat 33A both ways gave me enough legroom with plenty of room to stretch my legs, I pre ordered my meal both ways and had a lovely beef casserole going out and sausage and mash coming back, both with a lovely chocolate sponge cake for pudding, all washed down with tea/coffee. My only complaint with eating on Jet 2 is that the tray tables are simply not big enough and trying to eat can be a little awkward, however the meal was lovely and I nearly purchased another one but I didn't :LOL:

There was a slight delay departing BHX going out to LPA however we were informed that this due to French air traffic control restrictions on the sunday morning so our aircraft was one of the flights effected however with good weather down to the Canaries we made up the time and landed into Gran Canaria pretty much on time.

Coming back to BHX we landed 30 minutes early and what really impressed me with Jet 2 is even when your holiday is over and your collecting your luggage, they even have a Jet 2/Jet 2 Holidays customer services desk in the baggage reclaim area in case you have any last minute issues. I have never seen this from any tour operator/airline in the baggage reclaim area of BHX, amazing stuff Jet 2.

I didn't really take much notice of the automatic announcements, however the one that you can hear as we have landed into Gran canaria onto the stand was a bit cheesy, something along the lines of "Mind the gap" when you get off the aircraft, LOL

However putting all things into context I give Jet 2 a well deserved 10/10 and would certainly travel with them again. Well done.

LPA

I never have any issues at Las Palmas, however the outside terrace on your return has been reduced in size by half so it was a little crowded and I couldn't do any plane spotting or take any good quality photo's/video's.

Jet 2 have a large check in area with plenty of staff around for any issues that you have.
