FAQs

Where are the best Jet2 holiday destinations for families?

Popular Jet2 family holiday destinations include Spain, the Canary Islands, Greece, Cyprus, Turkey, Portugal and Italy. Each destination offers something different, from sandy beaches and warm weather to waterparks and family attractions. When choosing a destination, consider the flight time, accommodation facilities and activities available for your children's ages.

What should I look for when booking a family holiday with Jet2?

When booking a Jet2 family holiday, consider the hotel's location, room type, board basis and child-friendly facilities. A hotel with a children's pool, kids' club or entertainment can provide extra convenience, while being close to a beach or resort centre can make days out easier. Also check transfer times and available baggage.

Do Jet2 holidays offer family-friendly hotels?

Yes, Jet2 offers holidays at a broad range of hotels that can suit families. Depending on the destination and property, facilities may include family rooms, children's pools, kids' clubs, playgrounds, sports activities and entertainment. Checking the individual hotel's facilities and room configuration is important to make sure it matches your family's needs.

Can I take my baby on a Jet2 holiday?

Yes, babies can travel on Jet2 holidays, although parents should check the latest requirements for flights, accommodation and travel documentation. When choosing your hotel, consider whether it provides suitable facilities for babies, such as cots, highchairs, children's pools or kitchen facilities. A well-planned accommodation choice can make travelling with a baby much easier.

What are the best family holiday activities with Jet2?

Family activities vary by destination but can include swimming, beach days, waterparks, boat trips, mini-golf, cycling and organised children's entertainment. Some resorts also have family attractions and theme parks nearby. Choosing a destination based on your children's interests can help create a holiday with plenty of activities for everyone. You can view more about experiences here.

Do children have a baggage allowance on Jet2 flights?

On top of the standard 22kg baggage and 10kg hand luggage included for every passenger aged three and over, you’ll have an extra 10kg luggage allowance for baby and toddler equipment. You can take pushchairs from check-in to security and right up to the plane, then speak to our Red Team about bringing them to the doors when you land.

Are airport transfers suitable when travelling with children?

All our holidays include transfers to and from your hotel for added convenience. You’ll be met at the airport by our friendly Red Team who’ll then show you to your coach. You’ll travel to your resort with other holidaymakers, before being dropped off at your hotel. On return, a coach will pick you up from your hotel and take you to the airport for your flight home. You've also got the option to hire a car instead, too!

Can I use my own infant seatbelt onboard? 

We kindly ask that customers refrain from using their own infant seatbelts onboard. Only seatbelts issued by Jet2.com are permitted for safety reasons. 

Will there be a car seat available on my transfer?

Infant and children’s car or booster seats are not provided for any transfers (including private transfers) and (if required) must be taken as part of your baggage (at your own cost).
