Anyone ever flown with JET2 ? we want to book up for next year currently they have return flights to Pisa from LeedsBA at £130 on the date we want but I don't know much about them.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

I've used them many times and am using them next weekend for the very flight you are talking about.

The only problem I've ever had was some items stolen from my checked luggage. Getting hold of Jet2 afterwards for a theft report was impossible. They have no phone number for aftersales, just a postal address. Needless to say my letter went unanswered....

They are quite cheap I guess. Not as cheap as they once were though. Their luggage costs and credit card charges are bringing them in line with other airlines now.

For us, they are great because they fly to come good destinations and we live 5 mins from LBA

Used them to go to Spain, it was the time of the first terrorist threats in London. Several companies were cancelling flights and we were a tad worried but to their credt the Jet2 call centre, based in india, were fully updated and assured us we were safe to return at time and date we wanted.

Upon arrival at the airport, Spain, there was a member of the company telling us what we could and could not take aboard the plane.

This is the first company I have flown with that kept you updated without being asked.

I would use them again no worries

We used them to go from Manchester to Amsterdam.
No problems at all and will definitely use them again.

Not knowing where you fly from it is difficult to judge but with BA the cheapest flight I could find in October was about £160 (from Manchester).
The most expensive for the same time came in at around £400!

Jet2 now make a credit card charge of £2 per person per individual flight so for a couple on a return flight it would be £8.
That said I use Jet2 regularly from LBA and have never had any problems with them.

If LBA-PSA suits your holiday plans and is convenient, then sounds OK.

BTW Car Hire pick up at Pisa airport is via a shuttle bus, only takes a few minutes.
