Has any-one flown with Jet2.com. My holiday to Ruka the airlines and the flight times have changed three times. First it was easyjet, then Hamburg International and now Jet2.com. Also the times are getting later and later so much so that I will have to book an extra day off work. But one problem for us will be......have to vacate cabin at 10am flight not until 10pm.

Yes. Jet2.com have a number of OLD boeing 737's that they charter out. These are the ones that carry Royal Mail post and convert into passenger planes by means of inserting panels inside with seats screwed into them. I flew with them to Turin in March, it was ok but the plane was as old as any still flying and the interior left plenty to be desired. Uncomfortable seats with hardly any padding, which were falling apart. There is a trolley service.

Jet2.com also have some other new passenger only planes, but I understand the ones they charter out are the older ones as they are cheaper because of the state they are in!!!

You'll be fine, but its about as crap a plane as you could possibly get!!!!!!!!!!!

I flew with jet2.com, no more than I expected. Expect little. Flew on time.

Ours was 2 hours late going out, and 3 hours late coming home. I expected it to be better than Ryanair, and I was badly mistaken.

Have flown with them twice, Chambery in the winter, and Menorca in the summer. No problems encountered.

Thanks guys, I suppose there is still time for them to change again. When we flew Thomas Cook to Greece the reviews were terrible, but it was the best hastle free flights we had flown. We are hoping that Inghams will come up with some-where to store our luggage on our last day its okay leaving your accomdation at 10am and you always get 7 days ski hire and lift pass for cost of 6 days so will still be able to ski. Can you ski with your suitcases strapped to you :lol:

Rose, most holiday companies, will arrange a bag store and shower/changing facilities in one of their contracted properties. You should be fine, if in doubt send Inghams an email. :D
