Thanks for that Darren. I live in Harrogate so Leeds/Bradford was the original hub for Jet2. Each year they have been increasing the destinations but also some of the flights they have cut back on. We were travelling to Venice but no Wednesday flight so we travelled a day early to join a cruise.
Coming back from Barcelona there was just one flight at 19.40hrs.
When we booked this the cost was much higher than we would normally have paid £130 for a one way flight. our flight to Venice was £74.
When I booked the flight the difference in price would have paid for a hotel in Barcelona for one night but my friend just wanted to get home as soon as the cruise was over.
The reason for higher cost only became apparent when we realised that there were several football fans had been out for an England Match on the Saturday.
For us the cost was not a big issue it was purely on convenience and I would happily fly Jet2 anytime but not to NEW YORK.
Thanks again Darren for the information you provide and I greatly value your knowledge.

Is it to early to book flights with jet 2 for next august to faro? have booked a villa for 10 of us but the flights with thompson and monarch are much more expensive than jet 2 so wonder if there would be a sale on nearer xmas.As its a family holiday I am trying to get best prices possible.

My Son flew to Tenerife with them this July. He booked the flights as soon as they were released. He plans on doing the same for next year as they go for 3 weeks.
With the low cost Airlines it is difficult to say and often the prices would be better by booking ahead. If I were you having booked a Villa and need to get there with a large party of people then I would book ASAP.

Have just booked with Jet two, says on confirmation just printed off, need to recheck flights for return 24 hrs prior. Have a number on the shuttle confirmation for pick up on return. Anyone know do I need to ring jet two or is the shuttle pick up confirmation enough. there is no other number to ring apart from on shuttle confirmation.
Just looking at flights for August 2009, Leeds to Malaga-outwards 1st Aug, Return 15th Aug. If I enter 1,2 or 3 passengers, the return flight costs £79.99 per person. If I enter 4+ passengers, the price increases to £89.99. The outward prices remain unchanged. Anyone knows why this is?
bejay,
Airlines always recommend you check your flight is operating and the schedule hasn't been changed 24 hours before it's due to depart. To be honest, I never do because it's unlikely to have changed. It's up to you really.

delia,
That's normally because there are only so many seats available at a particular price. In your example, there may only be 3 seats at £79.99 and 4+ at £89.99. You'll be charged at the higher price because of that. If you are travelling as two couples, try booking seperately and you may get the lower prices, or at least some of you will.

Darren, many thanks for your prompt reply .
Don't seat prices sometimes fall-according to demand? (I'm sure I've seen this happen before, when I've been looking over a period of weeks). If so, I don't understand how there could be a fixed number of seats available at a certain price.

delia,
Prices do fluctuate based on demand and supply, but there are only a certain number of seats available within certain price bands at any one particular time.

Jeanie I do think that you have done the right thing when you need to be at a destination on a particular date.
Yes we too have hit the problem with trying to book 4 but splitting it into 2 separate bookings we were able to get the lower price. Worth a try. This had been with BA and was for flights to Paphos.

4 of us are hoping to fly to Majorca with Jet2 next June for a long weekend - minus the kids. 
Flights are about 150 quid at the moment :shock:. Can't decide whether to bite the bullet and book or wait to see if they come down. What do you think?

pargaluvva,
That doesn't sound too bad. You can never tell, especially since June is coming up to the busy time of year. I paid approx £120 for a similar flight last year. Best thing to do is decide if thats a price you are happy with then book it and don't look again!

Can anyone give me an idea what Jet2's "Variable Fuel Supplement" is likely to be ? It doesn't show on the prices until after you enter the passenger information, and we're not ready to go that far yet, as we're only shopping around for flight prices currently.
The prices seem very good, but without knowing what the supplement is likely to be, we can't actually make an informed decision, and I've not found anything via search.
We're looking at Blackpool or Manchester to Ibiza in June next year for 8 people.
Cheers

Just enter anything for passenger names-go right throught to the point where you need to enter payment details-then you will see all of the costs. You can then exit without carrying out the booking.
