Only 24 on board! And we're crew included in that total I wonder?

Glad all ended well though but hope this isn't the start of another season of 733 issues

Im more worried about the load factor.

Im more worried about the load factor.

Indeed, that was my initial reaction. But that said we have to be thankful for a safe conclusion.

Looking on flightradar24 it looks like Jet2 are sending Boeing 737-300, G-GDFL down to Tenerife this afternoon on the LS223 service

That’s going to be fun getting off runway 14 with it been warm again today. especially with full pax, baggage & fuel load.

In the days of Inter European the 737-300 was a regular on the route.

And to Larnaca and Paphos.

As was Air Europe from MAN.

The 300s have done the Canaries quite a few times over the years, so not sure why there's any surprise. It's not a hot calm day. It's warm but with a gusty wind.

Yes and as we said the 737-300 was regularly used on the longer sectors both by Air Foyle (Sunseekers) and by Inter European (Aspro).

Im sure Jet2 compensated them.

They will have been compensated for the delay but not for the overbooking as in the end they used an -800 it would have been overbooked had they used the -300 back to LBA

 

[BCFC]

I feel Jet2 has grown pretty quickly, but it has kept buying older airframes rather than new ones, and now it's showing. The 737-300s should have been retired by now, and a lot of the 800s are in their later years. Yes, I know a lot of people are going to disagree and tell me how well-maintained they are, but that doesn't seem to be the case when they are made to work hard over the summer months.
Before you all start attacking me, yes they bought the old frames due to cash etc…I know…but it's starting to hurt the Jet2 customer satisfaction and brand.

And who knows if it was overbooked in the first place? If it was under 148 then Jet2 are in for a winner. No delay or minimal to the flight and use spare resources available to them.

Me as I saw the bag and pax numbers

I only responded as I know the info otherwise I wouldn’t have replied. And I agree with you regards to them using any spare resources they have which they did.

Flew on LS439 today 132 passengers, so not a bad load for a -300

Can I ask the inevitable question? How does this compare with winter 25/26?

Jet2s ad says its their biggest ever, with city breaks and ski still to be launched. Whether that's more flights, or more seats due to some larger aircraft remains to be seen.

Yes 'biggest ever' is hard to quantify.

 

[SierraHotel]

Simply more seats I would think due primarily to the AGA and RAK program.

 

[LBAYORKIE]

I was hoping for more, maybe new destinations. Maybe that will come with more ski flights? I would like to think there would be an increase on Salzburg, it ls part of the City Break offer now but one flight a week is sub-optimal for that type of winter/non skiing city holiday.
