    I was looking at the Monarch website last night, they seem to be more open about their charges as far as I have seen.

    Ye- I noticed that last year when booking flights with Jet2 that online check in is free until you add a hold bag- then suddenly it costs something. It should really be built into the cost of a bag as it is a double whammy and a reason why we checked in 1 less bag and I bought a bigger carry on bag to maximise that

    Just found quite a useful trick though, if you need more than 1 case add them all to one passenger. That way you only pay the £12 'online check-in' fee once. If you add 1 case each to 3 passengers you would pay £36.

    I like it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Wake up Jet2! Potential customers do not like what you are doing.

    They do, but I still can't sit down in their standard short haul seats.

    But surely that's what the bag fee is meant to cover? The online check-in fee is separate to that and that's why it doesn't make sense. And it's more expensive still if you chose airport check-in with a bag.

    That is exactly what I said in the sentence after that which you cut off....

    It's what the bag fee should be covering but I'd hardly say it doesn't make sense. It's a budget airline with some exorbitant fees - nothing new there!

    Why not, are you 8ft? I'd hardly call it comfortable but I fit in perfectly fine at 6ft6.
