So, you thought you knew what package holidays were all about? Their ins, outs and inclusions? And the sorts of destinations they’re available in? Well, we’re here to put your misconceptions to the test, in this myth-busting lowdown...
‘Package’ is just another term for ‘all-inclusive’, right?
Nope, actually. If you take a look at our website, you’ll see all our hotels have different board options. Certainly, some offer all-inclusive or even all-inclusive plus, which goes one better, but you can also opt for everything from self-catering to B&B and everything in between. The beauty of it is, you can tailor your stay with Jet2holidays!
Well, Jet2holidays just does hotels, doesn’t it? And only for families?
There are loads of family-friendly hotels in our collection, including ones branded Family Favourites. We do the heavy lifting so you don’t have to. But that doesn’t mean we’ve only thought of happy holidaymakers with kids. We offer getaways geared up for solo travellers, couples, groups of friends, golfers, cyclists and more! That’s not forgetting our Jet2Weddings either, for those tying the knot. What's more, you'll find smaller, more boutique digs, as well as our Jet2Villas, self-catering apartments, hostels and camping plots.
Package holidays aren’t available outside Majorca or Benidorm...
We’re proud of our bumper map of more than 60 sun-soaked Jet2holidays destinations! So yep, you could say that means quite a bit more available than just Majorca and Benidorm. You’ll find those classics, alongside Tenerife, the Algarve and even more Costas in mainland Spain, but we’ve dug right beneath the holiday-honeypot surface too. Who’s up for trying dinky Greek islands like Alonissos, Leros or Aegina? Maybe somewhere on the rise but still off the beaten track, such as Montenegro or Jerez? Choices, choices...
It’s all two-star or three-star, isn’t it?
We enjoy giving you oodles of budget-friendly options, which is where our two-star and three-star properties come in. But you can also find plenty of gorgeous four-stars, including in our Luxe Collection, while our esteemed five-star Indulgent Escapes are the last word in lavish.
It’s so expensive to book a package where everything’s included...
When you add up all inclusions, it pays to go for the full package. With so many inclusions, like your suitcases and transport to and from your accommodation, you’ll find there aren’t any pesky little extras or hidden fees. We pride ourselves on no surcharges!
There aren’t that many UK airports you can fly to...
It might not sound like the luckiest number, but we actually fly from 13 airports in the UK. That’s all because we want you to maximise on the convenience of jetting off from close to home – AKA just another advantage of booking your package holiday with us. The list includes Bournemouth, London Luton, London Stansted, Leeds Bradford, Edinburgh, Belfast and more.
Sure, you get your flights and accommodation, but not your bags as well?
We’ll have to stop you there – in making our package holidays as seamless as possible, you get quite a bit more than just your return flights and two-to-five-star accommodation. Not only do we get you from A to B with our return transfers~ to and from the airport in your destination, but you’ll have 22kg baggage and 10kg hand luggage included on top. And did we mention that it all starts with just a low £60 deposit*? All Jet2holidays just so happen to be ABTA and ATOL-protected too. The cherry on top, some may say.
It’s just a case of ringing a call centre – no app bookings or anything...
Not a fan of picking up the phone and having a chat? Or like the phone but prefer to tap away on it? We hear you! So yes, you can give our Call Centre a buzz if you’d like, but alternatively, head to www.Jet2holidays.com. You can browse all our package options online that way! More modern than that? Cue the Jet2 app, where you can search, book and manage your holidays under one handheld roof. If you just can’t beat face-to-face interaction, no worries. Pop into your nearest independent travel agent and enjoy the package perks by booking through them instead.
Now you really know the ins and outs of our package holidays, why don’t you book one? We can’t wait to welcome you on a Jet2holiday soon!
~Unless otherwise stated. *On bookings made ten weeks or more before departure. Full payment required by balance due date.
