Jet2.com has announced that children under two will now travel for free on all its flights, making it the only UK airline not to charge a fee for infants on routes across Europe, the Canaries and the Mediterranean.
The policy applies to new bookings made from Friday, August 22, and children must be under two at the time of travel. Previously, under-twos travelled free only with Jet2holidays package holidays; now the benefit extends to seat-only flights with Jet2.com.
CEO Steve Heapy said: 'As a family-friendly airline and tour operator, we are always looking at how we can make the experience even better for families travelling with us. By putting our customers first and making these changes, meaning that all children under two now travel for free whether on a package holiday or a seat-only flight, we are making travel even more accessible for millions of families.'
In addition, Jet2.com has introduced a new family-friendly change to its child and infant equipment allowance, effective immediately. No excess baggage will be charged for child or infant equipment checked into the hold. Alongside an extra 10kg baggage allowance for children under two, customers can bring up to two items per child free of charge, including a collapsible pushchair, pram, buggy, car seat, booster seat, baby carrier, or travel cot, with the 10kg weight limitation no longer applying to these items.
