avalex72 Posted February 26, 2022 #26 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Can't book my Malta flight from Glasgow yet. My flight is with Jet2, but my Ta has sent me the web address to book. Obviously it's not updated yet, will keep trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pencil62 Posted February 26, 2022 #28 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Still can't book our seats from Birmingham. Might be a Jet2 problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molecrochip Posted February 26, 2022 #29 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Likely they have yet to confirm airplane layout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet2 operate just a couple of Boeing variants, and must know by now which aircraft will be flying in April. The airtankers will not be used in Ukraine, so that is no excuse either.

molecrochip Posted February 27, 2022 #31 Share Posted February 27, 2022 @wowzz I said likely. I don't know the official answer. I'm offering an explanation based upon my previous experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried again to book seats this morning. Still no joy. Rang my TA. They suggested that I get in touch with P@O. Turns out everybody flying to Malta was sent the same email but anyone flying with Jet2 on a scheduled flight where P&O only book a block of seats have to contact Jet2 themselves to book. I asked if I could expect the correct email and he replied 'don't bank on it'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MX-Drew Posted March 2, 2022 #40 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Some days ago I received the email to say I could book my seats on the flight two days or so after the higher tiers had their pick. That time has come and gone but still I can't book, it is a TUI charter flight, I know others have had the same issue and I wondered if it made a difference if you booked via a TA which this time I have.

I realise there may be more than one flight from there, but we will be flying Manchester to Malta later in the summer and we are getting a bit worried about how early we will need to be at the airport considering I have seen mention of people having to be there way ahead of Caribbean cruises for testing etc. We will be staying overnight in an airport hotel, but had not anticipated leaving the hotel earlier than about 4.00am.

MX-Drew Posted March 3, 2022 #42 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Finally been able to book the seats for my flight. This is the first time I have flown with young children and couldn’t believe P&O / Tui charge £17.50 per person to book the seat, mean for my son and daughter-in-law they have to pay £140 (for return) to sit next to their 2&5 year olds. I understand they would need to pay so we can sit as a group but to have to pay for the children to not only money grabbing but in my view morally wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further to my post, I have been in contact with my TA to see what they say (I have a very good relationship with them) and this is the main part of their response after contacting Tui. "I have checked TUI policy on seats with children under 12 will be seated with at least one adult in your party. This means either in the same row, one row in front or behind, or across the aisle." This in my view is not good enough, how would you like to sat next to someone else's 2 year old when their parent is in the row in front or behind! That is without considering how the parents would feel with their child in a different row. I have written both to P&O and Tui regarding this matter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely small children need to be directly next to a parent. Please keep us updated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No response from P&O but no surprise there but I do have a response from TUI, they need the flight booking reference that I can obtain from P&O so no hope there. I have sent all the details of the flights, details of the passengers and my inside leg measurement just in case that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avalex72 Posted March 4, 2022 #46 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Booked my seats on Jet2 to Malta on 14 April. It took a few days from when I received the web site from my Ta before Jet2 accepted my name and P&O booking ref. All sorted now. Avril Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francisdrake Posted March 6, 2022 #47 Share Posted March 6, 2022 (edited) For those of you flying to Malta have P&O confirmed what the situation is with regard to Covid testing ? Considering booking on one for May but can't see anywhere on the P&O site explaining how any Covid testing works for fly cruises.

purplesea Posted March 6, 2022 #49 Share Posted March 6, 2022 I too have been looking for the information required before a flight to Malta but can't find it. The link above only refers to flights to the Caribbean. I am just assuming that P&O will issue the necessary information nearer the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
