Secure your ideal holiday with our low £60pp deposit*

"The best tip I can give anyone is to take advantage of our low £60pp deposit*. We offer this to make our holidays affordable for everyone – it's the classic buy now, pay later, which really helps with budgeting."

Charlotte Kernohan, Head of Brand Communications

Fix your price and only pay the price you see today

“We all know prices can be unpredictable, so it really pays to book your holiday early and fix your price so it's protected from cost increases in the future. We won’t add any surcharges either.”

Jack Molloy, Senior Marketing Executive - Customer Experience

Use our handy Pay Monthly^ scheme to manage your balance

“With our Pay Monthly^ scheme, you can pay a £60pp deposit* to secure your booking, then split the balance into equal, interest-free monthly chunks until your balance due date. We’ll work it all out for you too, so there are no tricky sums! And you don't have to sign up to a formal direct debit!”

Kids go free with the Home of Free Child Places

“We're the Home of Free Child Places‡, so be sure to get in early and snap one up – they fly out fast! To make sure you don’t miss them, use our Free Child Place finder on our website, as this tool only shows you the holidays where your little one can go free, so you won’t miss this great cost-saver. We even offer them in the school holidays!”

Laura Jones, Revenue Brands Analyst

Don't forget that all infants go free!

“When you’re looking at your budget, remember to factor in that infants under two years old go free on all Jet2holidays, so that’s a nice money-saver right there. We also give you an extra 10kg allowance so you can bring car seats, pushchairs and travel cots – so no extra baggage costs to think about either!”

Harry Marcham, Revenue Manager

Single parents can save £60 on all holidays

“We want our holidays to be affordable for everyone and we don’t want anyone to miss out on a good deal. So if you’re a single parent, pop in code J2HSPF60~ at checkout and we’ll give you a super £60 off your holiday! It’s a big saving that can make all the difference to the overall cost.”

Choose a Which? award-winner for your holiday

“When you’re choosing what holiday company to use, it makes sense to go for one that has the stamp of approval from consumer experts Which?. Not only are we one of their Recommended Providers, but they also awarded us their Travel Brand of the Year 2024.”

James Pieslak, GM Press Office

Nail down your itinerary and make a budget

“Before you go, research your destination to find out exactly what there is to see and do, as well as local prices in your destination. Make sure you plan in plenty of free activities like beach days, sandcastle-building competitions, nature trails, treasure hunts and trips to local parks – the options are endless! Then make a budget for each day so you know exactly what you have to spend.”

Imogen Goulding, Senior Content Executive

Pack a purse-friendly picnic

"Picnics on the sand, anyone? They’re ideal for saving on meals and taking full advantage of a beachfront-row seat. If you’re staying in an all-inclusive hotel, speak to them and they might pack up your lunch to take with you.”

See your Customer Helper for cost-cutting help on holiday

“Make sure you get the inside scoop from your Customer Helper when you arrive on holiday. They live in the destinations they work in, so they know where the locals eat (always cheaper than the popular tourist spots!), where to find set menu deals and happy hours, as well as which days attractions and sights are free or reduced – think of them like walking talking guidebooks!”

Steve Adamson, GM Customer Experience & Insights

Choose a jam-packed resort to save on splashing out

“Normally like to splash out on a lively hotel with lots of on-site facilities? Instead, try out our handy map tool when choosing your holiday, which will show you properties right in the heart of the resort centres – many of which are budget-friendly hotels and apartments. This will give you an endless amount of facilities on your doorstep without the price tag of an all-singing, all-dancing hotel.”
