Jet2 are so far the only company I can find doing the holiday I want next year. I know more choices may become available next month or the month after, but as I've only used Jet2 for flight-only trips to places, can anyone tell me if their flight-transfer-hotel holidays are any good please? Or not?
Many people only post reviews when they have a major gripe about something though so I suppose you have to trawl through all of the reviews to get a balanced picture.
That's what I think too. I try and read as many as I can, but sometimes when you read the reviews of a place you've just been to, you wonder if it's the same place! Maybe someone on here will have first hand experience. But I'll keep checking. One good idea from that page of reviews was to visit the hotel's own website to try and find out what it's like. Jet2 prices are a lot cheaper than Thomsons, which is a bit worrying!
I`m not sure that it being cheaper has much to do with it. Maybe their operating costs (as an airline) are lower and the hotel has given them a better deal on room prices. You could get the name of the hotel you want and then look on trip advisor for independent reviews (usually more realistic than the hotel`s own website)
with tripadvisor (as with anywhere else), best to ignore the 10% best reviews and the 10% worst. You never know if they're coming from the hotelier's rivals, or his mum.
Noted about the reviews, which is why I was asking on here - to see if anyone had any real life experience with Jet2 Holidays. I'll keep asking around. Thanks all.
I used Jet2 for a full package and have no complaints, they were very competively priced, good transfers and lovely hotel, in in resort rep was very helpful, the prices on board the flights were reasonable. I personally will use them again. (I travelled to Turkey from Manchester)
Thank you - a friend of mine is going on holiday with Jet2 in a couple of weeks so I'll see what she says too. I think I'll use them, and if I look at the hotel reviews too, fingers crossed all will be fine. .
