Jet 2 online check in

Just a quick note to beware of Jet2's attempt to extract even more of your hard earned cash from your wallet. This morning I decided to do the online check in thing for our flight from Leeds to Palma in June. There's 3 of us, me, my other half and our 3 year old son. First I checked myself in and even though the plane is only a quarter full it defaulted to the windown seat at the very back of the plane, so I thought hey ho, it's only a 2 hour flight (bear in mind that I refuse out of principle to pay the extra £5.99 charge to choose your own seat). I then proceeded to check in my wife and wouldn't you know it, the seat alolocated to her is over the aisle and in the middle! I then checked in our son and yet again (even though he is 3!) it defaulted to a separate seat. This on a plane with hundred of unallocated seats.

The reason I am banging on about this is just be wary, Jet2 (like any airline at the mo) will do anything, no matter how customer unfriendly - to take more money from you. I just went ahead and booked the seats anyway and we'll sort it our when we get on. Outrageous.

Just back today from a quick break in PP and we used the online check in for the first time. Going out from Leeds Bradford was fine just dropped off bag and away we went for breakfast. Picking up luggage at Palma end was over an hour wait which was frustrating.
This morning at Palma was a nightmare as there was no clear quick drop check in and we waited for half an hour before anything moved as they were having technical problems, I was glad we had our seats allocated already though as they seemed to be shoving people anywhere on the plane to get everyone on in time.

not really jet2 staffs problem, more the check in staff at palma

but on returning last year we were charged 40 euro for excess baggage

wife had packed all booze an ciggies in the suitcases rather than carry on as hand luggage to allow us to travel light

only told us our bags were too heavy after they has dissapeared down the chute, too late to transfer to hand luggage then

the dissapointing thing was my 2 daughters and i had no hand luggage at all and technically could have carried on another 30 kgs between us, were'nt interested in our appeal at jet2 desk when we went to pay up

You wouldn't have been able to take the booze through, though, unless it was under 200ml...they would have confiscated it which would have been far worse, surely!

I once nearly packed an expensive bottle of whisky (destined for my dad) in my hand luggage...I just remembered at the last minute and put it in my suitcase!
