Jet2 travel advice for travellers with July, August & September flight plans


As the UK pushes into its seventh week of lockdown many holidaymakers may be growing anxious about holiday plans later in the summer, with normal life showing little sign of returning any time soon. Jet2 and Jet2 holidays have currently postponed all planned holidays until June 17.

The airline is in the process of contacting all affected customers.

A statement on the Jet2 website reads: “Due to the ongoing uncertainty caused by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, we’ve decided to recommence our flights programme on 17 June 2020.

“If you’re travelling before this date, unfortunately, your booking will be affected as our flights won’t be operating.

“We’re proactively contacting all affected customers in departure date order, which we think is the fairest way – please be patient with us as we do this.”

Customers who would prefer to amend plans can do so on the Jet2 website free of charge, so long as they were travelling prior to June 20.

Jet2 has created a dedicated page for customers to do so, however, amendments must be made by May 31 2020.

For those who are uncertain of where they want to travel to or when they want to go, the airline is also offering refund credit notes.

The Jet2 website explains: “Fill out the request a credit note form and you’ll be given a refund credit note to rearrange your flights within six months of receiving it.”

This information does not cover the options for travellers who are due to fly after the planned restart date, but who may no longer feel comfortable doing so.

“If we’ve cancelled your flight(s), you can simply change your booking to a later departure date and you won’t have to pay an admin fee. All you have to do is log in to Manage My Booking and make the change before midnight on 30 April 2020 – we’ve extended the date due to popular demand! So join thousands of others and change your flight(s) today.

“We’re proactively contacting all affected customers about their options, in departure date order, which we think is the fairest way. Please be patient with us as we do this and remember that we’ll get in touch with you.

“If you’ve made a booking that’s currently unaffected and you would like to either amend it or cancel, this will be in line with our terms and conditions.”

According to Jet2’s cancellation policy, if you choose to cancel your flight of your own accord the airline will “not provide any refund”.

Instead, they advise: “To avoid losing your money altogether, we recommend you consider changing the name on your booking to someone else who can travel in your place and/or to consider changing the dates of travel.”

However, by their terms and conditions, a change of date would incur an administration fee.

Express.co.uk has contacted Jet2 for further comment and information surrounding what customers should do if they decide they no longer want to travel in the late summer months.
