It is a bit overplayed onboard IMHO, probably time it was changed - anyone for a bit of Dua Lipa?!

Overplayed? It's literally played once amongst other songs during boarding. The backing track is used for pre-recorded announcements but that's the only time the actual song is played. It's a common myth that Jet2 continuously play the song.

With respect, I'm talking about my experience on board and not myth (flying with Jet2 against next month, so will update my impression!). Perhaps it was the pre-recorded stuff, but I just remember quite a lot of it!

Wouldn't surprise me had attention seeking PAX scrawled on the card themselves before taking the picture!

Mind you I have had enough of the ditty in their advertising myself too.

Well, it’s working… you hear the song, you know what brand is being represented! Is it current? Well, we’re still talking about it and they say no advertising is bad advertising! 👍

My six year old daughter recently said 'oh it's the holiday song' when she heard it played on the radio. The marketing obviously works.

Brand recognition is one thing, whether it puts off rather than encourages custom is another. I am sure far cleverer marketing people know the answer to that.

Whatever its better than the terrible 'Most wonderful time of the year' thing run by a competitor whose brand name I cannot remember.

Regarding the latter.

Your refering to "On The Beach" featuring that awful family, who I get the impression are a real family as the dad and his dreadful son do look very similar.

Apologies for being OT, but that advert makes me want to go anywhere that horrible family isn’t, and I’m definitely not booking with On The Beach.

No need to apologise for being OT, I'm totally in agreement with you.

That sort of advert I personally find extremely tacky. But even though I don't personally take package holiday's the TUI adverts in comparison are really good.

I actually think the song works extremely well for the brand, you don’t need to be watching the TV, when the song comes on the radio or TV you automatically think of Jet2, to me it is on a par with the Mc Donald’s whistles at the end of the advert, you hear it and you know what it is, this is a very rare achievement in brand recognition.

Quick question, does anyone know what type is being used on LS931/2 to/from Malta on 20/8 & 03/9? Last year this flight was a 757, but seat guru have it down as being a 738 this year. I really hope it's still a 757 as I'd love to fly on one before they're retired.

Currently planned for 738 still so Seat Guru is accurate. Looks like the 75 is working hard with 7 of 8 units flying, each doing 2 rotations out of MAN that day with 1 reserve frame.

Jethro's reporting today, that Jet2 have 4 B738-800's leased for summer 23.

2 from Smartwings, both based at BHX (OK-TSR & OK-TVH).

2 from AirExplore, both based at EMA.

I wonder if the sketchy reliability of Smartlynx at BHX has made them look elsewhere, or whether this is actually additional capacity.
