Jet2 has highest baggage allowance in sector

Jet2. com has announced that it will increase its hold baggage allowance by 30% from 17kg to 22kg for all flights from 1st April 2009. The planned move would see the airline offer the most generous baggage allowance in the whole leisure sector. The new hold baggage allowance will also apply to all flights booked after 20th October and for travel before 31st March 2009. Other airlines such as Aer Lingus, BMI Baby, Easyjet, Flybe, Monarch, and Thomsonfly currently offer only 20kg hold baggage allowance, while Ryanair allows just 15kg. Jet2holidays. com customers will also benefit from the increased baggage allowance and will continue to receive one free item of baggage per person. This announcement follows the launch of 22 brand new Jet2. com routes for the Summer 2009 season from the airline's six northern bases, and the announcement that Jet2. com was voted the UK's best short-haul airline by readers of the Guardian and Observer newspapers. Jet2. com is also bucking the current downward trend in the airline and travel sectors after reporting record load factors of more than 90 per cent last month. Jet2. com boss Philip Meeson said: 'At Jet2. com we are committed to going that extra mile to give our customers an even better deal when they travel with us. People's holidays are extremely important to them and we want to ensure that their experience is enjoyable from start to finish. 'Allowing our passengers to travel with 22kg of hold baggage means that they now have room to pack that extra outfit, or can leave space to bring home even more souvenirs from their travels. 'We are now leading the way in the leisure airline sector when it comes to the customer service that we offer. I am confident that this, along with our low fares, will be an important factor in our customers returning to us again and again. '
