Hi
jet2 have released package holidays from Newcastle to Corfu
Geoff
Hi
Jet2 now show some Corfu flights only for 2024 from Newcastle
Example basic price for Sept 5th- 19th £594 (without any extras)
June 6th-20th £658 again the basic price
Leeds Bradford and East Midlands also showing
Could be other airports but have not checked them all, other than Manchester or Stanstead which are not listed
Geoff
A weeks package at the Rainbow (June 7th -14th 2024) from Leeds Bradford £507.
I'd be interested to know if any of the accomodation owners have actually signed any contracts for that far ahead, or if this is Jet2 just winging it, and changes to price/accomodation/flight times to be expected.
Spot on Angie..... its actually false selling I would suggest !
Hi
Can only speak for Jet2 and TUI. They have been releasing the dates early, I assume, so as to get some cash flow in these difficult times.
We have been booking Jet2, flights only, to Corfu the past few years very early, as soon as the flights are released. For example for Sept 2023 we booked Oct 2021.
Never had any problem to date. Get, I think good prices.
We book package holidays with TUI to Skiathos as equally early. We have been stopping with the same family for 27years. I ring them up to confirm they will still be with TUI prior to making the booking. Never had a problem. So far.
Geoff
I'd do the same too Geoff , 100% , if it works for you then great 👍
I know to at least 3 travel companies that sell (sold) packages to certain establishments that they don't even have contracts for that season with. Jet2 isn't one , Kosmar was one and the other 2 are large current operators.
I know as I contacted the owners direct on 2 occasions, as I had got to know them well through visiting Lesvos so many times, to ask why they were in the Travel Operators brochure when they had said they were leaving to go independant. They confirmed they had left as they hadn't been paid all the money they were owed from the previous season.
On one occasion when we we there people paid to move into our appartments from the place they had been put in by the Travel Operator as it was terrible. They had originally booked to stay where we were but were told later they no longer dealt with the accommodation.
Like I say that is simply false selling , fraudulant I'd suggest 🙁
Hi
Manchester is now available
Geoff
Hi
Looking at their schedules currently listed for 2024 most are packge holiday flights.
May:
8 package
10 flight only
June:
18 package
8 flights only
July:
18 package
10 flight only
Aug:
17 package
14 flight only
Sept:
15 package
10 flight only
They do change at times. Our 2023 flight was originly package only, but changed between the two several times. We booked flight only. It now shows as package only.
We experienced the same situation in 2022
Geoff
Hi
Jet2 seem to be offering more flight only dates in their 2024 schedules
From Stansted at least The only problem for us, is that all the early morning flights in September are only available for package holidays. Checked a few other months and the same problem
Had a quick look at a few other airports and the situation is the same
Geoff
They will release the package only dates nearer the time, just depends if you're willing to wait.
My daughter & friends flew out from Leeds & when more friends wanted to join her, they had to book from Manchester, and then more flight only dates were released from Leeds. Very frustrating for her friends who had to arrange early morning lifts to Manchester.
Hi
Package holiday dates for 2024 are available and have been since 2022. Its flight only we want which have not been available for the dates we want, and now they are, the early morning flights are package only.
EasyJet and Rynair have not released anything for Sept 2024 yet
Thanks
Geoff
Ryan haven't even released early 2024 yet , Easy have released to the end of May 2024
Karl - as usual please let me know if you hear Ryanair flights out. Last year East Midlands were not out until December but then I have known them be out in August.
Will do Sonia 👍
Thanks 😊
Looks like Ryanair for us too next Year!!
Jet2 prices are £250 - £350 dependant on flight times more than we paid this Year (Albeit I seem to remember we used a voucher?)
Same for us - Anyone who gets wind of Ryanair releases please let us know. (From memory they were October for the July flights last time we used them?)
Thanks in advance
Neil & Jill
Hi
Any info for Easyjet or Ryanair for 2024 I would appreciate any info.
I check regularly and if I find anything I will of course notify the forum
Thanks
Geoff
Hi
We booked Oct 2021 with Jet2 for September 2023 flight only and think we got a bargain
Geoff
Hi Geoff
Us too - We booked this Year's Flights (July 2023) in 2022 - Leeds/Bradford early flights - £425 with luggage & seats - Really happy with that.
Same flights for next Year (Leeds Bradford - 7.30 - Luggage 1 x 25Kg Hold/2 x 10Kg & Seats) is now £804!!!
Never flown with EasyJet & guessing our best option would be Manchester but hoping to get sorted with Ryanair from East Midlands.
Neil & Jill
Its always worth looking at ALL options ! When Thomas Cook still had a fleet of planes we used the once for flight only and they were cheaper than any of the budget airlines . A friend of mine flew to Tenerife once with British Airways as they were cheaper than Ryanair !
We paid £230 per person last year with Ryan Air from East Midlands. That included being able to pick our seats and 20 kg luggage but booked on day released. Last year they did not release East Midlands until December when other airports were out a few weeks before and I was beginning to wonder if they were not gonna fly from East Midlands. I think they wanted to see how full flights were from other airports but could be wrong.
Hi
Jet2 have got prices out from Stansted to Corfu £562 time 15.45 arrive 21.05 Thursday 22Aug 2024
Corfu 21.20 arrive 23.40 Wednesday 25sep 2024 that is a good price
I am waiting for easyJet to see prices
Kev
Hi Kev
Jet2 have had flights out since 2022. Initially the problem was they were package holidays only.
They recently made the flights available for both package and flights only.
The problem we now find is that all the early morning flights (05.55) are still package only. Dont like the afternoon flights out (15.45) and evening flights return (21.55)
Hopefully they will change again
Geoff
I wish I had waited to book as my exact flights (EJ) are around £150/200 cheaper in total now. It's hard to know when to jump on them especially when you need to fit in with accommodation dates
Flight with Ryan and Easy have almost halved from what they were 4 months ago! Mine are almost at what I paid for them when I booked on release but as I say they had nearly doubled at one point.

Hi
Just took a look at my flight details, check in on line etc for this September.
As said previously booked this in Oct 2021. The basic flight cost, no extras, was £410.
Just checked same flight details for Sept 23 and the cost is £705!!!!!. This again, just the basic flight without extra's
Geoff
Hi
Jet2 have just , from Stansted at least, released early morning flights for flight only reservations. 05.55 and 08.15.
Previously these flights only available for package holidays
Have just booked Sept 2024 . Cost £506 for basic costs, no extras. Dont think thats a bad price concidering current economic times
Sept 2023 cost £410 which we booked in 2021.

Hi
Have noticed the early morning flights from Stansted to Corfu have now reverted back to package holidays only in Sept 24 .
Geoff
Still nothing from Ryanair regarding 2024 releases!!
After seeing the Easyjet release prices we are seriously considering paying the Jet2 prices.
We have a 10% discount voucher which expires in 2 days & TBH if we go for less decent flight times we can get some reasonable prices (I guess you get what you pay for & what it is worth to you?) - We prefer to fly early especially on the return but to do so would cost circa £120 more.
Decisions.....Decisions.
Once done we'll be happy though!!
Neil & Jill
Hi
The only issue I have with Jet2 is
That every so often , it does change back and forth, at least 50% of their flights are often only available for package holiday's
Maybe Ryanair and EasyJet do the same. I don't know
Geoff
Hi
Looks as though they have started to allocate certain dates to package holidays only again
