How to plan the perfect family holiday

Did you know that Jet2holidays offers more than a million holidays with free child places*?

Aimee Smithers, Colleague Experience and Communications Lead, says: ‘Book in advance and use the Free Child Place finder on the Jet2holidays website! My daughter, Bella is six, we go abroad at least once every year and I haven’t paid for her once yet!’

It’s been a while since many of us took a trip, so the Jet2holidays experts have a few tips to get you started.

Daniel Broadhurst, Customer Services Advisor, says: ‘Click on the ‘travel requirements’ section at the top of our website for an easy breakdown of what you need to do before travelling, in resort, and coming back home.’

Lesley Goldring, Customer Helper, London Stansted, says: ‘When packing for your next Jet2holidays trip, try rolling your clothes. 

‘You’ll be surprised at how much more you can fit in—it also means less ironing! 

‘Remember that Jet2holidays has a 22kg hold baggage allowance—which is much more than most!’

How to make the airport a breeze

Endless paperwork and negotiating the airport don’t always make for a relaxed start to a holiday, but with these tips you can ensure everything goes smoothly.

Courtney Nuckley, Special Assistance Advisor, says: ‘My top tip is to download the Jet2holidays app. Having everything about my booking at my fingertips makes it so easy, no more shuffling through papers. I can add all my extras, check in, store documents and find all the latest travel requirements.’

Chloe Marshall, Contact Centre Advisor, says: ‘For a quick and easy check-in, I advise to do it online so when you get to the airport all you need to do is drop your cases off. If you’re ever unsure about anything, we’re always happy to help. You’ll find us dressed in our famous red uniform—you can’t miss us!’

How to make your holiday extra special

With a few little extras you can turn a great holiday into an unforgettable one, and these experienced Jet2holidays colleagues have a few clever tips up their sleeves.

Hannah Jones, Resort Team Leader, Ibiza, says: ‘See your Jet2holidays Resort Customer Helper at your hotel. Whether you want to know the way to the best beaches, best restaurants or top places to visit, our team in red will be there to answer all of your questions.’

Marie Smith, Social Media Executive, says: ‘When it comes to taking the perfect holiday selfie, time of day is key. For the perfect lighting, wait for the sun to begin setting so you get that golden hour glow! You’ll also need a backdrop that stands out, Rhodes is my favourite Jet2holidays destination so far for this reason.’

Here’s what Jet2holidays guests think!

We’ll be back!

Steve and Jeannette Butt, Stafford

Hotel Villa Flamenca in Spain is in an excellent location and we enjoyed a daily stroll into the lovely town of Nerja with its many eateries, individual shops and wonderful tourist attractions nearby. The stunning Balcon De Europa was another favourite haunt.

One day, Jeannette even had a surprise bottle of sparkling wine when they saw her birthday cards in our room. A lovely gesture.

The last day of our holiday coincided with the lockdown in Spain due to Covid. Our Jet2holidays Resort Customer Helpers kept us well informed on procedures, reassured us, sorted our homeward flights and answered all our concerns in an efficient way.

We felt that our Jet2holidays trip offered excellent value for money and have booked a similar holiday following such a positive experience last time.

Six years and counting!

Amy and Danny Buck, Manchester

The highlight of our year is our Indulgent Escapes at the Four Seasons in Limassol, Cyprus. We’ve been six times now and every trip is incredible from start to finish.

We love the experience of travelling with Indulgent Escapes – you get the friendly Jet2 service as standard, alongside luxury extras like 25kg baggage and complimentary drinks on the flight which help us relax into the holiday spirit straight away.

We love the luxury private transfer included as part of the Indulgent Escapes package – it’s such a special way to start the holiday.  And when we arrive at the hotel, the service is always so faultless and so friendly. 

The restaurant choice and quality are the best we’ve ever experienced, too. 

We already can’t wait to return for our seventh visit – we are truly made to feel at home thanks to Indulgent Escapes and the Four Seasons.

Our perfect family-moon!

The Finan family, Essex

We’ve used Jet2holidays previously and it’s been easy, they always get good reviews, plus we can fly from London Stansted which great as it’s local to us. 

I’m 5ft 2in so have never worried about leg room on a flight, but my husband but Dan is 6ft 4in, so legroom to him is very important—Jet2holidays passes the legroom test easily! 

We loved the Jet2holidays package holiday at Radisson Blu Resort Arguineguin in Gran Canaria—everything was so smooth and easy and the reps were all lovely! 

We made lots of memories on this holiday. The things that stand out are of us spending time together—having fun messing about in the pool, relaxing in the sun—and enjoying cocktails (ice cream for the kids) after a day poolside!

As a couple, relaxing on the balcony once the boys were in bed, a glass of wine and listening to the waves—it was so quiet, just the sound of the sea! 

After a crazy few weeks of wedding build-up, it was perfect to just relax. We’d absolutely recommend Jet2holidays—everything from start to finish was easy. We had the best time on our family-moon and we’ll be booking again soon.
