Go Jet2 flew them to Nice from MAN in April, very good service for an LCC. Could they join Star, set up a hub at MAN to replace BMI, then buy their 332's and show them what an Airline needs to do. Pick up the staff from BMI, great people.

I had a choice on there LGW service with BA, and I chose BA, better timings, more flights, and surprising BA were only a few pound more, and you get free food and drinks, and more choice on departure times.
They still are a very popular airline from Manchester, I will try them one day. Can't wait for them to add a 757 to the Manchester fleet, see Menzies struggle without a belt on those! Like they did with WW's A320 leased from BD, what a laugh.

I was thinking of the same thing given BMI's decision to drop IAD.

The Jet2 cabin crew are nice. Really friendly and some really lovley looking young men and women! They are perhaps the best crew I have encountered on a no-frills airlines.
They wear a smart unifrom and look very professional. Heads and shoulders above BMIBaby.
I too would fly Jet2, particularly over shorter sectors. I dont fancy them from LBA-TFS without at least the option to purchase a hot meal.

I know, some of those male cabin crew are lovely, and the tight black trousers always perk me up on a Jet2 flight
Not so much Pepperami, more Bratwurst, I would say

I feel the same, 7LBAC111. To put it into context, I would prefer to read about Orion's time-honoured views of inflight refreshments. OK, perhaps I wouldn't. At least this s fun to read.

Is one coming to MAN?
I don't think any of this is widely known just yet. I've as yet to hear a report of where the 757s are destined for. There has been a rumour of late that one is coming to MAN......spose it might be best suited to AGP.....?

Not MAN-LGW thats for sure. On many routes from Manchester, Jet2 only just manages to fill the 733, so I have serious reservations about their ability to fill the 757.

They are certainly doing very well on all routes to and from MAN this summer....their 'low fares finder' is testament to that!!

I've just come back from Stuttgart and was impressed at the amount of Jet2 a/c at MAN, looks like they giving it a real go.
I've not had the pleasure of Jet2 yet but I'm sure it'll happen at some point.
Next flights: CXR-SGN-DXB-MAN; MAN-IST-AUH-MAN
25 GayrugbyMAN: Weren't there some murmurings a few months ago that loco LBAJFK as being looked at? That would certainly fill a 757!
26 Capital146: As far as I am aware, the 2 B757's will be LBA based. Advertisements for recruitment of crews for the aircraft have been made on this basis. No confir
27 GVBIG: Jet2 Boeing 757s will be LBA based. Too much competition at MAN
28 Atco2b: N241CV B757-236 will become G-LSAA (24122/187) N136CV B757-27B will become G-LSAB (24136/169) Tom
29 Orion737: Are the 757s aquired by Jet2 to be equipped with a galley capable of offering for sale a hot meal? After all the 757 will be serving LBA-TFS a route o
30 Mhodgson: Flyglobespan manage to fly 73Gs from GLA-ACE, even further north than LBE. Wonder what they do?
31 GVBIG: They'll be 733s or 738s. GSM don't have 73Gs (737-700)
32 GayrugbyMAN: I am still dreaming of one particular Jet2 lunchbox......
33 WhiteHatter: Jet2 did it properly in the catchment area. Buses, billboards, radio ads...the brand is everywhere. Even Air Berlin are dipping into it now with billb
34 Mhodgson: Yep - it's all over the buses, shelters and billboards in Morecambe too, so they have a huge brand awareness.
35 KA501: Talking to a Jet2 employee last night who said Manchester loads are very good! AMS and EDI will be available for winter booking next week. Old news wa
36 7LBAC111: That's a huge shift from the current lowcost business plan. I'd be surprised to see Jet2 go transatlantic. However, I'd also be very pleased.... 7LBA
37 KA501: Think one of the low cost operators is going to have to take the low cost transatlantic plunge! So why not Jet2. And Manchester has a distinct advanta
38 Pe@rson: There would certainly be a good demand for low fares between, say, the UK and US and Canada during the summer season, when ticket prices rocket (it's
39 JGPH1A: I've heard good things about Jet2, and would like to fly them NCE-MAN vv but their flight timings back to NCE are awful - leaves at 06:30, which is co
40 GayrugbyMAN: Says on PPRuNe that LS are to give up their dedicated check in area at MAN and give it over to Monarch....wonder why?
41 Orion737: So Monarch will now have Jet2s ground floor check in at Terminal 1. I really do hope that Monarch scheduled do not have plans to take over Jet2.
42 GayrugbyMAN: Wouldn;t have thought Ket2 would fit in to Monarch's business model...
43 Orion737: I dont know so much. Monarch have shifted emphasis from being a charter carrier operating limited, quality scheduled services to sun destinations to b
44 7LBAC111: Jet2 have added IBZ from MAN for next summer now too.... 7LBAC111
45 GayrugbyMAN: All good news for MAN! Quite a little base they hae here now, I am assuming they will soon be the largest airline at MAN passengers wise..?
46 7LBAC111: Well currently Jet2 serve: Alicante , Amsterdam, Budapest, Chambery, Edinburgh, Faro, Geneva, Ibiza, London LGW, Malaga, Murcia, Nice, Palma, Pisa, Va
