COVID-19 FAQs

We know that things look and feel a little different these days. But rest assured, your safety is our priority. We’ve put lots of extra measures in place to make sure you have a happy and healthy holiday – you can find out more here.

However, if you’d like to know more about either amending or cancelling your holiday, please visit our cancellations page for more information.

In line with our Changes and Refunds Policy, if your holiday has been cancelled by us as a result of COVID-19, your holiday will be automatically cancelled and we’ll process your full refund within 14 days.

We are working extremely hard to deal with the unprecedented situation arising from the COVID-19 outbreak in Europe and ensure that affected customers receive all appropriate support and assistance. However, in line with the advice from the UK Civil Aviation Authority, delays and/or cancellations arising from circumstances relating to COVID-19 will be treated as extraordinary circumstances and therefore not eligible for compensation under Regulation EC261/2004.

Customers will not be entitled to any additional compensation under the Package Travel Regulations, as the reason for the holiday not continuing or being cancelled is outside of our control.

If your booking is affected in any way, we’ll be in touch with you as soon as we can. We kindly ask you to hold off from contacting us and wait for us to get in touch with more details. We can absolutely assure you that our teams are doing their best to contact affected customers as quickly as possible.

If you’ve booked any holiday essentials as part of your Jet2holidays or Jet2Villas package, they’ll be automatically cancelled or changed if your holiday is amended. If you’ve booked these products separately through Jet2Carhire, Jet2Transfers, Jet2Insurance or Jet2Extras, please check your separate booking confirmation for the details and contact our partners directly to make any changes:

If we’ve been in touch with you about a refund, please allow up to 14 days for the payment to reach your account. If it’s been more than 14 days, this may be due to a failed refund, for example if your card has expired, so we’ll contact you as soon as we can to take updated account details.

We’d recommend that you don’t start arranging things like COVID-19 tests until closer to your time of travel, as travel requirements both here and abroad can change. Find out more about getting a COVID-19 test.

The type of negative test accepted for travel is decided by governments abroad, depending on the destination you’re travelling to/from. For all the latest official information, we’d recommend you read our travel requirements page 14 days before you’re due to depart and take any action then.

You’re completely free to shop around and find your own testing supplier(s) – and it’s your responsibility to make sure you’re happy with the buying decisions you make. You must get the correct testing in line with the travel requirements of governments both in the UK and abroad. We’d recommend that you don’t start arranging things like COVID-19 tests until nearer the time of your departure when we have more up-to-date travel requirements confirmed.

If you need help finding a testing supplier, we’ve created a list here and where we can, we’ve included a discount code for you to use.

If you’re fully vaccinated with two doses of any approved vaccine, some destinations allow you to enter the country without showing a negative COVID-19 test result. Instead, you’ll be asked to show proof of your vaccination status. An NHS COVID Pass shows your COVID-19 vaccination details – this is your status. You can get this by:

• Downloading the NHS app: You can use the app on mobile devices and your NHS COVID Pass will be shown within it. If you don’t already have the NHS app, you’ll need to register, which can sometimes take a few days – it’s easier if you have your NHS number to hand.
• Visiting the NHS website: You can view your NHS COVID Pass online and download or print it as a PDF document. You’ll need to register for an NHS login if you don’t have one already.
• Calling 119: You can call 119 and ask for an NHS COVID Pass letter to be posted to you – just so you know, it can take up to five working days to reach you.

To be “fully vaccinated” you must’ve had a complete course, usually two doses, of an approved vaccine under the UK, EU or US vaccination programme at least 14 days before you’re due to arrive in the UK. If you’re under 18 and have only been partially vaccinated with a single dose, this won’t be accepted as fully vaccinated. An NHS COVID Pass shows your COVID-19 vaccination details and will be accepted.

From time to time, the health authorities of any country may choose to carry out random medical screening of arriving or departing passengers, which can include COVID-19 testing. Although this is rare, any extra checks could just include individuals, or occasionally a full flight. These instances are random and can happen to any customer, on any airline and in any country. As long as you’ve completed all the standard entry procedures for the country you’re arriving into and follow the advice of the local health authorities, you shouldn’t experience any problems if this happens to you. And these checks will be done as quickly as possible. It’s worth checking here before you travel, just in case we have any up-to-date information around this that we can share.
