Jet2 is a British airline and holiday package company, which operates flights to a range of destinations throughout Europe. If you've made use of this company's services and felt dissatisfied for any reason, your next step should be to submit a formal complaint. At AirAdvisor, we make the process easy. In this article, we share how to handle any Jet2 complaints you may have.
What Can You Make a Complaint About
It's helpful to know if your Jet2 experience provides you with grounds on which to complain and potentially receive compensation. There are many legitimate grounds for Jet2 complaints that can result in redress, some of which you can explore below:
- Flight delay compensation: If you were a passenger on a Jet2 flight that arrived at its final destination over three hours late because of a reason within Jet2's control, you can be eligible to receive compensation in response to your complaint. Flight delay compensation typically ranges from €250 to €600 (£214 to £515 ).
- Cancelled flight compensation: To be eligible for compensation because of a cancelled flight, you must have received notice of a flight cancelled by Jet2, for a reason within their control, less than 14 days before the scheduled departure. The amount of compensation you may receive depends on the distance of the flight and the amount of cancellation notice you received.
- Flight refund: If you paid for a ticket on a cancelled or severely delayed Jet2 flight, you may be eligible to receive a full refund in response to your complaint. The airline might also offer to rebook your flight or give you a voucher to use on future travel, though it's within your rights to choose whether you accept these offers over a refund.
- Baggage complaints: If you experience baggage loss, damage or delays as a passenger of Jet2, you can complain to the airline. They might compensate you, though it will be within the liability limit for loss or damages as detailed by the EU261 and you will need to provide sufficient evidence.
- Customer service complaints: Dissatisfactory service from an airline, whether on the ground or during your flight provides reasonable grounds on which you can submit a formal complaint. Depending on the nature of your customer service complaint, you may receive an apology, an explanation or compensation.

Know Your Passenger Rights
Knowing your passenger rights is a fundamental step in sensible travel. Accessing the EU261, also referred to as EU Regulation 261/2004, can help you familiarise yourself with what you're entitled to as an airline passenger. When travelling to and from the UK, you're protected under the UK 261 variation of this law, which was incorporated in the wake of Brexit.
