Jet2 customers are being advised to avoid booking certain seats when flying this summer, with the budget airline warning that specific places in the cabin are not suitable for some passengers
The seats you should avoid if you’re flying with Jet2 have been revealed as Brits undertake their summer getaways.
In a warning to holidaymakers flying with the budget airline, tracking site seatguru.com says seat number 11A is one of the worst places you can sit on a plane this summer. This seat might be disappointing since there is no window. Passengers flying with the carrier were also warned against sitting in rows 1-2 and 32-33 at all costs, if the queue by the bathroom or the sound of the toilet flushing bothers you.
Passengers in rows 1, 15, 17, and seats 2D, 2E, and 2F are required to store their personal items in the overhead lockers, as there is no floor storage available in these areas, Jet2 – which is rivalled by the likes of EasyJet, TUI, Wizz Air, and Ryanair. On its website, Jet2 said: “We offer a selection of extra legroom seats on all our aircraft. These seats are clearly marked on our seat maps during the booking process and are generally located towards the front and middle of the aircraft.
“You can pre-book these seats during the booking process, add them later when you visit Manage My Booking or request them at check-in for a small fee per flight. The majority of our extra legroom seats are also classed as emergency exit seats, so only certain customers can sit here for safety reasons.”
Where seats are shown as emergency exit seats, for safety reasons, any customers selecting these seats must meet regulations that have been put in place by the European Aviation Safety Authority (EASA), reports BirminghamLive.
Customers who cannot sit in these seats include children under the age of 14 years, expectant mothers, and disabled customers, as well as any customer with a physical or mental impairment, customers requiring a seat belt extension, customers suffering a medical condition or injury and customers who do not have a reasonable command of the English language.
It comes after one flight attendant recently revealed a little-known button that will almost always guarantee you extra room on a flight.It comes as no surprise that 56 percent of passengers get irked by the lack of legroom, while 46 percent grow frustrated when flyers recline their seats back, a Busbud survey found.
So, if your aisle seating conditions are confined during your next long-haul flight, cabin crew member Charlie Silver has shared one very helpful hack. Taking to TikTok, the TUI flight attendant said: “Are you sitting on the aisle seat, wondering why your armrest doesn’t go up? Well, here’s a little hack for you.” The flying expert then pressed a switch-like button that is located underneath the arm rest, at the far back. “Press this little hidden button and your armrest will move freely up and down,” Charlie explained.
