The Northern Smackdown- Jet2 VS LNER!
Jet2 and LNER are two legendary names for Travel in the North of England, so I had a chance to put them head to head on a trip to Leeds, Yorkshire in May 2024.
The "Airline of the North" against a long-time locomotive operator who links major Scottish and Northern English cities to London's King's Cross station, it sounds like a Travel Sized Smackdown that shouldn't exist, but alas- It sure does now!

    Great comparison. I really like Jet2. If they did domestic flights, I'd prefer them to EasyJet or RyanAir. Lovely shots as you took off from Jersey and then started turning! 😀

  • @awild10
    @awild10 Před 4 dny

    The first part of your journey is news to me. I thought Jet2 specialises in all-inclusive package holidays. Jersey seems a bit posh for them! The second part is more familiar. I visit Leeds 3 times a year to visit a school in the city and its one of my more favourite cities to stay over. I normally travel by train but prefer the old Intercity 225 trains, they're much comfier. Ps. Where was the thumbs up as you passed the home of The Arsenal?

      Jet2 is the only UK airline I know that offers IRN BRU as a regular option, I think TUI only offer it solely on flights out of Scotland. Jet2 fly from Jersey to various Northern destinations during the Summer season, usually from May to October! 😄

    What a trip! If I risked an combo like that it would have gone belly up - probably on the first flight! 😀 Overall I prefer the train - it's quicker than a bus and you don't have all the messing around in airport queues and holding stacks!

    • @southernairs
      @southernairs Před 18 dny

      Fair enough, the plane isn't for everyone and neither is the coach. Do you think the trains get an unfair reputation in the UK?

  • @awild10
    @awild10 Před 24 dny

    Train for me but only because its the most convenient. Maybe if there was a flight from Gatwick I'd consider it but from here in Sussex its only an hour by train to Victoria then 15mins by tube to Euston before a 2hr train journey. You also end your journey in the city centre as opposed to Manchester Airport which is a bit of a way out. That coach was good value but I dont think I'd want to go from London to Manchester on one, I'd rather just drive myself.

    • @southernairs
      @southernairs Před 23 dny

      Interesting perspective, my only gripe on the trains is how expensive they can be at peak times for what you get in return, as well as the fact strikes on UK Trains are more common place than on UK Airlines or UK Coaches by comparison. - Tyler

    • @awild10
      @awild10 Před 23 dny

      @@southernairs agree regarding strikes but they tend to be announced enough ahead of time for me to work around it. Im starting to use them more for business travel to/from Scotland as often you have to wait til 6pm or later for an EasyJet flight back to Gatwick which is far from ideal if you’ve finished work up there by midday. Far better to get on the train and get some work done rather than waiting around at Glasgow airport for hours. The train is more scenic for me too but then you know from my Dad that we’re more train geeks than av geeks!

    @steve-marsh Před 25 dny

    Travel madness indeed! But a great day and great video :) I thought I'd come out of this with a clear winner, but it was a lot closer than I'd have imagined. For me though, the train shades it, mainly as (like you did in the video) you can change seats if needed :)
