Welcome to this flight review of a Jet2 Boeing 737 on a flight from Malaga, Spain to Birmingham, UK.
Regular viewers will know that this is my 4th flight with Jet2 over the last few months. Jet2 offer competitive fares and a good selection of routes from the UK and their Boeing 737 is a comfortable aircraft. After my previous flights I wanted to know if Jet2 extra legroom seats are worth the extra money. Stick around for my final thoughts at the end of the review.
If you have any economy flight ideas please do let me know in the comment section. Your feedback is always appreciated.

Another great video! :) I was planning to release my Jet2 video this weekend! But then I got the notification yesterday night about yours... so I've decided to change it for the next weekend :) In my flight, I've ordered a hot meal from the website and I must say it was worth. Good quantity, not bad quality, and a huge coffee!! haha I flew as well in a Jet2Holidays plane. Do you know if it's the same airline? Or 2 independent airlines operating down the same brand? Every day that goes on, I feel more familiar with BHX airport haha I've flown already 5 times to/from BHX in the last weeks! Wish you a nice weekend! :)

@@BlakeEdgington Haha Please, no worries! I just didn't want to step on your video, plus if my video does well next weekend, it should drive views to this one as well, as for sure it will appear on the suggested videos in the right column. Despite how the video will perform, in my future trips to the UK, I really think I'll try to fly with these holiday airlines. After flying with the main 3 I found that they really care a lot about the experience on board (probably because they know that the 90% or more of the passengers are on holidays and want a good experience). I remember you were saying that Jet2 was not the 7th best airlines in the world (or similar position, don't remember exactly). Of course, in some aspects, they just can't compete with many airlines to be on a ranking like that. But I must say that I enjoyed a lot more flying with them than with many other European airlines: you can feel a really good experience since the check-in, then in the boarding gate, the music in the bus to the plane (even that for us is like poison, due to the copyright haha), the plane cabin is different from the others, the crew is engaging a lot with the passengers ("ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls (...)" and the numerous and detailed messages they do), the pre-ordered food is a really nice feature that many other airlines do not have... I don't know, after flying with them I think I can understand that position on a ranking that is 100% decided by the passengers. Without any doubt, I would include Jet2 in my Top5 of European airlines that I enjoy the most. Wouldn't you? :)

@ianlittle9981
@ianlittle9981 5 лет назад
Hi Stu. Reason I chose row 17 because it says extra leg room. It isn’t because I’m tall. It’s because I have a big belly 😂. Last flight I had taken with another airline I couldn’t lower the tray fully. Only to 45 degrees 😮. Hence extra room needed. I shall see at the end of December. Newcastle to Prague.

I have just got back from Cyprus on Jet2.com and sat in that very seat, it was bum numbing and uncomfortable for the last 3 hours of the flight.

@caprirob
@caprirob 5 лет назад
Another great little film 👍 We are big fans of Jet2 I agree 100% with the comments about the tray table however for me it’s a compromise worth paying for the extra space. As we have also found recently the front of plane seats if you need extra legroom are definitely preferable especially on the return flight for the in-flight service as on busy flights we have found several times now that by the time they get to the over wing seats in the middle they have run out of sandwiches and some of the drinks choices!
@BlakeEdgington
@BlakeEdgington 5 лет назад
Good tip. In future I would save the money myself on extra legroom as the standard product is good overall.

Great review. I personally really like jet2 as an airline, but the chessy music & announcements are annoying. The lack of a proper tray table is an issue. The crew attach these, but I would rather have one I could operate or adjust myself.
@BlakeEdgington
@BlakeEdgington 4 года назад

@paulanderson1962 3 года назад
I want to tell you a bit about myself. I only have one bit of flying experience and that was an Easyjet to Jersey. I have never flown long haul to anywhere in Europe on any other airline - till May next year. I will be hopefully jetting to Malaga with my girlfriend and her family to stay at a villa they have a long history of going to in Frigliana on a Jet2 plane. Maybe it is important to experienced hands as they can focus on such matters but as a newbie to flying still I do not see legroom, how big the cup holder is or how stable the armrest is as being vitally important. The most important thing is the physical experience and knowledge of just being in a plane thousands of feet up in the air going thousands of miles a second and landing in some sun-kissed paradise like the Algarve or Minorca.

Thanks for another great video. I’m a fan of Malaga Airport - but I’ve not much experience of Jet2. I found the tray table idea a bit strange. Was the bulkhead seat narrower than their standard seat? If so, then that’s definitely a negative. What is your favourite Spanish airport?
@BlakeEdgington
@BlakeEdgington 5 лет назад
Hi Simon, thanks for watching. Yes the bulkhead seat was slightly narrower than the standard economy seat. In no rush to try it again. Favourite airport is tricky all have good and bad points. Probably my favourite terminal that I have visited is Barcelona T1 in Spain.

Hi Blake Another good video like I previously mentioned I use Jet2 down to the canaries I always book the extra legroom seats . At booking I will ask which aircraft we are flying on if on the 757 they have good extra legroom seats around the middle of the aircraft but poor at the front on the 737 better extra legroom towards the back . I have been advised on the A330-200 MTR and A321-200 they have much better legroom space so no need to pay extra .

I think Jet2 seem to be the new Monarch. Not a complete budget airline, but not a leisure airline like Thomas Cook either. However if Monarch were still with us I would choose the 'Spotty M' over Jet2 any day. I wouldn't choose to fly Jet2 if I could help it, just don't quite get them, find them to cheesy and really dislike the Holidays livery.So your last flight with a leisure airline for a while? in Coming reviews can we expect long haul?!
