Jet2

Jet2 is a British leisure airline and package holiday operator that has grown from a small regional carrier into the UK's third-largest airline and one of its most respected leisure travel brands, consistently earning some of the highest customer satisfaction scores in British aviation. Unlike easyJet and Ryanair — which operate generic low-cost models — Jet2 has built its success specifically around the family holiday market, offering a flight product that genuinely includes features other low-cost carriers charge extra for: a 22kg checked bag allowance per passenger, allocated seating, and 22kg of hand luggage, all included as standard in the ticket price on most fare types. Headquartered in Leeds and operating primarily from regional UK airports including Leeds Bradford, Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Bristol, East Midlands, and London Stansted, Jet2 provides a compelling alternative to flying from London for the large populations of northern England and Scotland who are poorly served by Heathrow and Gatwick.

Jet2holidays — the package holiday division — sells flight and hotel combinations to over 50 destinations across the Mediterranean, Canary Islands, and short-haul leisure markets, and has become the largest operator of package holidays in the UK. The airline's B2B charter operation also provides capacity to tour operators. Jet2's focus on genuine customer service, rather than the stripped-back ULCC approach of its competitors, has made it the UK's most recommended airline in multiple independent surveys.
