I am absoloutly fuming! Just gone to book my flights now and it seems they have changed the terms and conditions regarding the dates that the flights can be taken. Here are the dates from the Jet2 winners list site:

The prize flights are subject to availability and may not be taken at peak periods such as Christmas, New Year and Bank/School holidays. Flights may not be taken between the following dates inclusive: 27th March – 20th April 09, 21st May – 31st May 09, 18th July - 2nd September 09, 23rd October – 1st November 09, 15th December - 7th January 2010, 11th - 24th February 2010 and 26th - 31st March 2010.

Here are the dates from the t&c's from the winners form you have to fill out your choices on.

Flights may not be taken between the following dates inclusive: 2nd April - 20th April 09, 14th May - 1st June 09, 25th June - 7th September 09, 15th October - 2nd November 09, 17th December 09 - 8th January 2010, 11th February - 22nd February 2010 and 25th March - 31st March 2010.

The July change has really peed me off! That's the only time I can go, I wouldn't have even bothered trying if I knew that July was off limits! What a waste of time.

Exactly, I'm making sure I print screen now showing that in the t&cs, though I'm sure they 'reserve the right to change the t&cs at any time'.

I've spent so long messing about with this competition and now I can't even use my flights!

They've also taken Sardinia off the choice of destinations for some reason Even though it said flights "to ANY of our destinations"!!!!

So they have! That was on my shortlist too when going through the desitinations.

I'm not impressed with them at all, how many people are going to be unable to use their flights now?!

I know...

Some people will say because it's a comp, it's free etc and I should be grateful. BUT it started off including baggage, flexible dates, it was supposed to be booked in order of entry (I was 59th btw).

And now? They've taken off the free baggage, you get 3 choices of dates that are far more narrow AND a lot of the flights don't even start running til May! They've taken a main destination off. Plus considering I was 59th to enter and could only book when I got the letter on Wednesday (OK fair enough if Hotmail rejected the emails, but they could have halted people booking until it was sorted).

It's a shambles if you ask me!

Still no reply for the dates i've asked for and one of the sets of dates is only 3 weeks away now because it's all taken so long!

A shambles to say the least.

Right from the beginning, when the site not been able to handle the amount of people trying to enter.

The problems with hotmail should not have happened, they should have sent them so many at a time or something so they wasn't blocked.

Now people with hotmail are at a disadvantage, they get whatevers left, eventhough they may have entered before people who already have their flights confirmed. Something should have been sorted about that, like stopping accepting the forms until everybody had confirmation or something.

They've made themselves look good, advertising on telly that they're giving away all these flights, when in actual fact many people won't be able to take them now.

I'm just so angry. Yes, they might be free, but this competition required time and effort, plus all the messing about, checking if you've won, waiting for confirmation. Then I spent all night looking at where I want to go, finally go to fill the form in to read the new t&c's.

I'll stop rambling on now

No I agree completely with everything you've said. It was the chance for me to actually go on holiday (i'm not working because i've had an op) and yes, it's true that us on hotmail are now stuck with the leftovers. Plus why is it taking them so long to reply to me when others (albeit no's) have had replies much sooner???

See i'm ranting now!:D

I'm in the same boat as you, my boyfriends been made redundant, so it was a chance for us to have a cheap break somewhere that I could pay for as a treat.

You enter a competition on the basis of the terms and conditions, they shouldn't be able to just change them. However...

Jet2.com may in its absolute discretion change these terms and conditions without notice or cancel the promotion without prior notice in the event of circumstances arising beyond its control that makes it necessary to do so. By entering this competition entrants are deemed to accept these rules.

I would be interested in hearing these circumstances that occured meaning they had to change the terms.
