Bristol: Jet2 Route News & Base Updates

[Aviador]

Jet2 ground handling is run like clockwork and passengers will see this when it comes into operation at BRS.

Too much competition from easyJet I bet.

Poor service from Swissport more like. If you've ever flown with Jet2 at a fully self handled station they don't need competition from other carriers. They excel themselves. I flow into Leeds a couple of times. Baggage already spinning around the carousel as we came from immigration.

Lucky you, it took a while for my bag too turn up. Oh and at BRS Easyjet are handled by DHL in a dedicated operation.

Which base? Time of year and arrival?
LBA in rush hour is chaos but that’s an LBA problem with all airlines who fight over 2 baggage belts not an airline problem.

MAN - cleared and out 35 minutes after arrival.

Funny how any delays is due to LBA and not Jet2.

You get what you pay for. Jet2 Passenger handling seems to have more than enough customer service/check-in staff when self handled. If they paid ground handlers for a certain amount of baggage/loading staff then the ground handler is obliged to provide those levels of staffing. Swissport (As with most ground handlers) will staff to the levels required (and paid for) by the Airlines, which is usually the cheapest, most cost effective rate. When things go wrong, like delays, the ground handler then has to manage that based on other work that's required. I wonder if the same thing can be said for Jet2 self handling when disruption handling happens.
That's why you rarely see airlines self handle unless it's a fairly big operation.

Geneva being added for winter 23/24

 

[Sherburnflyer92]

1 flight up against easyJet’s umpteen flights a week and is it 7 or 8 on a Saturday probably doesn’t bode well.

 

[MrFenner]

Geneva being added for winter 23/24

The most on/off route there ever was!

 

[Marko1]

Winter 2024/25 on sale this morning - few increases primarily to the canaries. Ski flights also on sale , Geneva on sale , Salzburg not

 

[MrFenner]

Jet2CityBreaks to offer twice weekly service to Keflavik (Reykjavik) during April 2025 (Wed & Sun)

Yes, I did say 2025 🤣

 

[Jerry]

Is it me or surely for Iceland any service needs to start at least at the beginning of February too catch the northern lights?

 

[Jerry]

Salzburg has been removed from sale

[Marko1]

Jet2 doesn’t seem to have cracked the lucrative ski market from Bristol do they ? Salzburg gone leaving just Chambery , Geneva and Innsbruck. No mere coincidence that Easyjet has added a 7th flight on Sundays this winter and a second Sunday flight to Innsbruck too.

 

[Jerry]

Yep Easyjet just seem too dominant on it.

 

[Sherburnflyer92]

easyJet dominate the Ski market especially from the South/South West. I guess a weekly frequency won't stand up against easyJet.

 

[Jerry]

How is an LCC though able to dominate what personally I'd have thought is primarily a package holiday market like that?
