My birthday today
@@danielfairclough9885 Happy birthday Daniel
😂
The plane is a 1999 Airbus according to its tail number.
I’ve always rated the hotel by it’s breakfast. Use jet 2 a lot and has great holidays and service.
'Gabbys gone to the loo so im trying to do this all on my own' (Holly behind pulling 2 cases!) 😂😂
Casper's smile could light up the darkest room. Warms an old ladies heart to see such a happy child🥰
Such a relatable family..a lovely non pretentious family..what a refreshing change x
Thank you so much!
Completely agree. Normal people which is a massive compliment.
I thought the same. Glad their channel seems to be booming.
@@2icelollys1goat The Iceland episode is brilliant where he has to evacuate the hotel.
@@travellingtom6091 hi
I've holidayed with many different package companies over my 70+ years and I have to say that Jet2 are head and shoulders ahead of the rest in terms of customer service, attention to detail, and above all value for money. And what a great little guy Caspar is
Hilarious to see Gaby petting the roach especially after watching the bed bug frenzy.
yes but there was a difference. she is not in bed and getting love bits from the roach.
Tell me about it
A few drinks will definitely do that to ya lol
Love watching. Recently disabled so now watching n dreaming. E njoy it all peeps. Cherish every day x
Great videos Tim! A few weeks ago I saw your videos of the 5* hotels in London and now I've watched this video and the £9.50 Sun holiday and easyJet videos. Get up the good work!
Hi Jack, I'm with you. Armchair traveller down under.
nothing stopping you from traveling , ive flown with jet2 loads of times and im disabled
Holly is the spitting image of her mum! Enjoy your videos very much.
Agree, she seems a bit camera shy, but she is a lovely young lady.
I thought Holly is Gabby’s sister!!
Wait, how old are these people? Great video as always!
@@barbaraclarke6069 me too! Is she their daughter? She’s so pretty x
Ive said this before but I am so shocked at how good Casper is, he really is a dream baby! And he’s got the cutest smile! You must be great parents for him to be so calm and sweet
Thank you
The giant banana is called a plantain, lol. They are eaten by people from the tropics, delicious fried either ripe or unripe. Tostones are made by the unripe kind and you can add meat on top for a tasty bite. Sweet plantains make a traditional side dish to most caribbean meals.
Casper is a beautiful baby and he’s always so happy. I’ve had three, but none of them smiled and giggled that much. Not even the first. You and Gaby are truly blessed!
We have done 5 holidays with Jet2 in the past 18 months our next is in October with seventh for Christmas/New Year. Each with the exception of the last went without a hitch. The problem was one of our cases was left behind at our UK airport, it appears the tag got caught in something and came off the case. Once we collected our other cases we approached a Jet2 member of staff and they immediately said agh Mr xxxx, yes we know your case has missed the flight and it will be out on the next flight and will be delivered to your hotel tomorrow morning and because we had included our Jet2 booking reference within our case they were quickly able to identify where it should be. They told us if we needed to buy anything as a result then we should keep the receipts and make a claim. As it was the case only contained a variety of clothes for each of us so it wasn't an issue. The case turned up as promised and didn't spoil our holiday in any way. I think the fact as soon as they were aware who I was and they knew all about the case and the actions they said would happen and did meant we had every confidence in Jet2, we didn't make a complaint nor have we left negative feedback, in fact we left positive feedback, things happen.
Casper was just chilling the whole way.
What a dude.
I have nothing but praise for Jet 2. I have been on a few package deals with them . Alongside Virgin Atlantic ones. I have found all the staff , cabin crew and resort staff to be very helpful and professional. They are excellent for bargain getaways .
They are excellent I agree. Not all bargain though....£1800 for a week in Tenerife!
Genuinely the first time I have actually committed to watching a travel vlog this long. I normally wouldn't watch anything over 25 mins so well done on making me watch and keeping me until the end
means a lot thank you
We also did Menorca last year with twin 1yr olds, 2 buggies. I needed a holiday after that holiday.
Casper is an unquestinable STAR of this video! 😊
CS-TRJ was the aircraft you guys travelled on. It’s 24.3 years old and was manufactured in Hamburg in Germany in 1999. It has been with Jet2 since March 2023. The aircraft is an A321-200. Hope that helps and I loved the video!
It's also Leased, from Hifly, which explains the slightly weird Livery
thanks
Jet2 still have some 757s from 1988!@@michaeloconnor9465
and its now been retired
Gabby, you're so right. It doesn't cost much to be polite, forgiving and patient. Anyhow, loving your walks. Love how UN-STRESSED you both are, but ok: I've got around about 20 years on from you - so I'm officially turning into GRUMPY OLD MAN - no, only kidding. Even in my late 50s, still believe in being polite, forgiving and patient. Good to see your whole family with you Tim; looking forward to more trips. God bless you guys, Stu.
Great Video as always. Please can you review Tui as it would be interesting to compare. The Two Main Tour Operators
noted :-)
Have to say Jet2 are brilliant.
Their main advantage is their staff, there are lots of them and they’re very well trained.
Have flown with them a lot and their airport service is slick to say the least!
Other airlines (like TUI in my experience recently), have non of this.
It’s a false economy for businesses to cut staffing, because that’s when things go wrong/people are rushed/and there’s no one to pick up the slack when something happens.
Its good to talk…
Flew with Jet2 earlier this year, first time on my own, and have to say it was the best experience travelling abroad, start to finish, that I have experienced, from the checkin, flight, food, hotel and staff. it wa spot on
Holly is a mini Gaby and Casper is a mini you!!! You guys are one of my fav channels 💜
thank you
Such a wonderful family 😊
£1000 for a week - that’s a cracking price for 3 adults (and Casper!) quite a quiet place but looks great for young kids. Pool looks nice. Hope Holly had a good time as well! Casper definitely looked like he had a great time!
I enjoyed seeing the family travel experience. It is more work than when you do it alone, but it feels like added value when it is a family experience.
Love Holly just in the background, mostly avoiding the camera. That would be me, not one for pictures or film. Great video again though Tim. I'm Suffolk based so not far from Yarmouth.
Omg, i just can't with Casper...he's so precious!!! You have a beautiful family, Tim! Thank you for your videos.
we booked last minute with jet 2 last year to Lanzarote(after TUI cancelled our Crete holiday), it was one of the smoothest holidays in terms of travel and the hotel was lovely! Jet 2 saved our summer holiday and I’d personally highly recommend!
I went on my first jet2 holiday last year as a family of four to Malta and the whole experience from jet2 was excellent from start to finish , i was that impressed ive booked for Portugal this year with them
The plane is 24 years old, and on lease from Hi-Fly (Portugal). Another cracking video, Tim. Thanks for all your hard work.
Wow that would have made me nervous knowing that
@@WalkWithMeTim tbf some of Jet2's own aircraft are 30+ years old. They lease in additional aircraft from the likes of HiFly and Titan Airways during the busier summer months. Tui do the same.
Other thing to remember here is aircraft are regularly maintained, much more regularly than road vehicles. You'll generally see short haul airlines with newer aircraft as their high number of flight cycles will put wear on the airframe from the pressurisation more quickly than medium/long haul operators who fly longer routes but less cycles.
Been on a few holidays with Jet2. They are a brilliant company to travel with and they really look after you from start to finish. Would definitely recommend.!!
Holly made it so obvious she didn't like the camera, which was hilarious when she kept covering her face.
Thank you I always enjoy sharing your holiday, I felt really at ease, after mopping up after the thunderstorm. 🙄 it was just what I needed. Thank again to your lovely family. 😘💚
Another great vlog..love Gabby and so straight talking ❤❤
We’ve used jet2 a few times as they are the only direct uk flights to Lesvos in Greece. Never had any issues. Last time we upgraded our transfer to a hire car for the full 2 weeks and it was about the same price as taking the coach transfer and hiring a car for 4 days, which we usually do. It was great, even picking the car up at the airport we beat the coach to our hotel. Then had complete freedom to go wherever we wanted during the holiday, then again we beat the coach back to the airport (and we went the scenic route!)
Great Video 👍👍Fantastic Weather 🥳🥳Looks like a lovely island ❤️❤️
Absolutely love this type of video along with your other ones! It gives more of an insight for families. ❤
Glad you liked it!!
Hi guys,
Just back this morning from Turkey with TUI!
Had a brilliant weeks holiday and found the experience pretty much on a par with Jet2 holidays we’ve had in the past!
Like the fact that luggage and transfers are included with both of these company’s, a bit like package holidays used to be back in the 80s & 90s!
Tim, what a lucky lad you are to have such a lovely family, gives a true perspective to taking a holiday with young family!
Top Job!👍😊❤️
I love this, I’m going on my first ever holiday with my partner, first holiday without my family haha this has really put me at ease. I hope my jet2 experience is the same as yours
beautiful, loving the view of those cliffs n caves I wud of spent the whole holiday exploring them
What a lovely video! Looks like a nice quiet place to have a lovely family holiday! Looks like you all had a great time! Thank you as always for your videos- brightened up a miserable Monday for me, especially Casper on the Piano😊! What a gorgeous little family you are
thank you
Brilliant video. Appreciate the work that went into filming this and really gives an honest review of the place. Love how cool you guys are😃👍🏻
Means alot thanks
such a great video Tim, hope you guys enjoyed yourselves!
thanks James
LOVED this video, seeing a more lengthy, detailed holiday tour was great, felt like I was on holiday from my couch! Thanks Tim!
glad you enjoyed it :-)
Love watching this lovely down too earth family , I'm in Ireland 🇨🇮
Loved seeing this different video and it's always lovely to see Gaby and baby Casper (he is always so happy and sweet in your videos!) and bonus having Holly in it, too! I've never thought about doing a package holiday anywhere, but you have me considering it... FYI Shirley Valentine was filmed in Mykonos in Greece!
I love your videos Tim. They are really relaxing, total escapism and even help with my anxiety. Thanks x
Glad I could help
Sometimes I crave an out of the way location like that, other times I want to be in the centre of the action, it’s always good to do some research. Besides taking cruises, never done the package holiday thing, but that seems like great value. Cheers Tim and family 👍
We usually book holidays with TUI but did our first Jet2 holiday to Tenerife last year because they were slightly cheaper for the same hotel. Also, their standard seats on the plane have more legroom than TUI's and the onboard service was a little better. It's a shame they don't do more destinations, or long haul.
Seemed an ideal place for a quiet short holiday. It was a lovely video to relax with on a Sunday afternoon - thanks Tim, Gabby, Hollie and not forgetting budding concert pianist; Casper! Lol 🙂🙏
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great vlog Tim, I really want to go on holiday now! Casper is so cute, that smile just melts your heart ♥️
I know so cute I cant get enough of him
Used them twice for a package holiday and once for a city break and very happy with the service I got from them, were were booked before the pandemic struck so our original holiday was cancelled but they helped us navigate the travel corridors when they announced so we still were very lucky to get as holiday
I can’t get over how beautiful your family is! And I completely agree with the airport anger, I HATE rude people😒 looks like an amazing time!
Hi Tim!
Travelled with them twice. In 2019 to Cyprus, and just lately a couple of weeks ago to Corfu. Both times we couldn't fault them. I have to say all online surveys by other agencies (usually online newspaper travel sections) consistently rate them highly, so I guess it's not just us.
The plane you traveled on was a company from Portugal called Hi-fly, which is on lease to jet 2 for the summer season. Its a Airbus 321. 24 yes old. Enjoyed your vlog. We stayed at the hotel San Luis in salajra back in 2002 it was nice to see the resort again. Thanks again for a great travel review. Ian & Sarah from sunny Derby
Really enjoyed this longer video format😊
Great family! Casper so happy. Love your lipstick Gabby!! Great video!
Fantastic video as always Tim! We've only done one Jet2 package holiday which was actually great. Would love to see you do the package holiday to Salou, Port Aventura Hotel. Seeing you on Red Force would be amazing!
Been with Jet2 for my last three holidays and personally wouldn’t go on a package deal without them. They’ve been terrific. Love the Jet2 flights, hotels, transfers, cannot fault them. I’ve been with other holiday companies and Jet2 are definitely the best. 22kg of luggage, 10kg of hand luggage, perfect. You can pay for your holiday in instalments, which is great for those on a budget, they stay in touch and keep you updated with everything going on. Great company to holiday with.
On a separate note; Menorca is a very quiet island always has been. Try one of the other Balearic Islands for a more lively holiday Tim and Gabby. Holly will appreciate that more.
Gabby are you learning Spanish?
Magaluf 👀 Playas Americas 👀 or go full throttle and hit Malia or Napa up
What a lovely place, so quiet, enjoyable in my view. Thanks for sharing xx
Glad you enjoyed it
I love not paying attention to my subscription feed while I'm busy with my little life. Because when I finally do get time to watch one of your videos, there's probably 5 or 6 more videos I've missed over the weeks and my whole night is sorted. Always fun to watch love the videos!
great .. yes I upload twice a week so hopefully loads to catch up on at least you go back to and not just watch the recent one!
Really enjoyed this video Tim, really informative better than any holiday program on tv, your baby boy Casper is an absolute joy! 👍
thanks mick , means a lot
Jeez, Holly! Let others get a word in! Only messing. Lovely to have the whole family having fun. Thank you for sharing your holiday with us. I love seeing Casper grow. Maybe he'll take over the channel when he grows up? I can picture him giving a mini tour of rooms when he's a little bigger. ❤️
Holly has just started her own CZcams channel czcams.com/video/s7yGKgv4hpY/video.html
Here in Australia we tend to go to Bali, or Thailand for an overseas holiday so it is great to experience a British style Spanish package holiday.
Really enjoyed this video, so real and down to earth. What a lovely family ❤
thanks Justine
Hello Tim and gabbie and baby Casper have a good holiday best wishes take care stay safe xx ❤😅
Me and the wife just got back from the Insotel hotel at Punta Prima!, we took our 6 month old baby with us. Ear defenders and feeding the baby a bottle on take off made the journey so easy. Luckily our baby is a happy soul just like Casper.
Aw touched me this video, what an amazing family 💖 I hope you all hapiness and a healthy life x
thank you
Awesome family review 👌🏻I love the fact you did your best to squeeze so much in, which made it a different, but quality, family review for you.
Thanks for watching
My family and I are going on Jet2 holiday next year, to Benidorm (we love watching your vlogs there Tim). We paid for the plane seats, but you pay to pick your seat's so you can be together. We are glad to do so too as I have difficulty walking, so i know my seat's will be easy to get to.
Fantastic video Tim. I love how you and Gaby integrated all the different stages of your trip into this video and look as though you were all really having fun and enjoying the filming. Love the inclusion of quirky stuff like the spinning suitcase, nearly knocking the wine glass over and Casper turning his breakfast upside down!! Great stuff. one of your best!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very beautiful family. And I loved how happy Casper was, it reminded me of when my son was a baby
Really love the mountain scenery . Great film 👍😍
Hi guys, we first went with Jet2 after Covid and have just booked our 5th holiday with them 😊 Cannot fault them at all, reps everywhere but you get all the info you need we haven’t needed to use them out of the airport. Very good for lesser known Greek holidays, I think I mentioned before, Parga, on Gabys channel. We stayed in Cala’n Forcat when we went to Menorca 12 years ago and it’s a great resort. It is closer to Ciutidella which is the old capital……so worth a visit, very historical and beautiful 😻
This is one of my favourites….and yes, Casper is adorable!
thanks Amy
Really love that you do normal videos and not luxury ones, so we can get holiday ideas. Your video on Kos gave me the inspiration last year and we fell in love with the place so much and booked again for Kos Town in September! 🙂 bytheway.... Shirley Valentine was filmed in Mykonos in Greece ;-)
Love ure videos! U really do show things that answers alot of questions I have and alot of viewers have.
We're going to menorca in August 2024 do glad we came across this video.
All the best for 2024 keep up the vids
We absolutely loved our Jet2 holiday. Loved the fact they have their own section of the airport just for jet2 customers. It really personalised the experience. The plane was immaculate, the staff were excellent and the hotel beyond our expectations. There was no delays and the transfer was simple. Even the coach was clean and air conditioned. Couldnt fault it for the price at all. Cant wait to fly again.
Loved it! I was absolutely glued from start to finish!
The place you stayed really was.. unusual! Lovely scenery but not much there.. I just found it all so fascinating.. Had to laugh when Tim said, "We've arrived where the action is.. _NOT_ happening.." 😂
Gaby made me laugh.. playing with a giant bedbug like that! 🪲🤣
Little angel Thumps is growing fast and Holly is lovely! Thank you, Tim and your beautiful family for taking us on this trip.. 🙋🏻♀️🤗
Awww thank you
Why do you call Casper thumps? X
@@PrincessNottingham I replied to this, Princess.. but for some reason my comment has disappeared.. 😕 It's Tim's nickname for Casper.. 🤗🙋🏻♀️
Another great video and a lovely family, I always enjoy what you do, thanks.
Thank you very much!
Always watch your videos, always makes me happy watching each and every work loved it from the start to the finish, great video Tim.
Thanks again!
Hey Tim thanks again for an interesting and informative but also fun video, you never fail to impress me with your way in these video's it's like a great story in each one, always makes my day brighter when I see one of your video's :D
wow thank you
Tim you did such a good job on this video. Love all the content of this one. Traveling along with you guys is fun. Casper is a darling little boy😘Holly and Gaby look lovely and Tim you handle the stress of traveling so well. You are used to it I guess. Thanks for taking us along with you guys.👏🏻
Thanks so much!
Great video Tim. That plane was 24 years old leased from Hi Fly. Many operators lease extra planes in the summer to cope with demand. Tui often lease from Titan airways over the summer.
Omg your so lucky to have Casper! What a beautiful, happy,sweet baby!!
Our first holoday abroad with our daughter, we booked with jet2. To go half board was £300 less than selfcatering. Always worth checking for these price anomolies. We had a rough landing too. 😂
As I’m sat on a balcony overlooking the ocean writing this on a jet2 holiday I can say it’s the best carrier I’ve used….all the staff are lovely and the flights are great……
Have a great time
Congratulations On the subs Tim I love your channel and love the videos always love seeing new videos on your channel
Awesome thank you!
Casper playing on that mini piano!! Adorable! 😍
I wish we had kids who were that good on flights. Well done to your little fella!
I have travelled with my 9 children. The faces of passengers on a Coach Plane when we trotted on! by the time we reached our destination, I had nothing but compliments of how well behaved my children were as some passengers openly admitted they dreaded seeing all those children travelling lol.
Didn't you see him kicking the seat in front? Glad I wasn't sitting in it.
Well travelled young man 😊
lol he is amazing
Love travelling with Jet2 Tim. I find them the best value from Birmingham airport. I travel with my 2 mates and dont pay extra for the seat booking and sometimes we are sat together. I would pay extra if travelling with my family tho. Cheers Tim
Love your family, love your channel. Keep up the good work tim xx
My family have been on several Jet2 holidays and never had a bad experience, ground and air crew and reps have always been cheerful and helpful. Check in at Leeds Bradford airport is a doddle with only very rare queues. Regarding paying for aircraft seats..... in my experience you only pay extra if you want specific seats or "seats together", otherwise if you don't mind taking the risk of your group possibly (but unlikely) being separated your seat is included in the basic cost.
We've never been to Menorca so your video has been very helpful.
Thanks guys.
The aircraft you travelled out on was an Airbus A321-231and is 24 years old. It is a Portuguese registered aircraft with the CS- prefix on the registration. UK registered aircraft have the G- prefix. Although the aircraft has a Jet2 sticker planted near the nose, the jet is operated/owned by HiFly hence a mostly HiFly painted livery. That aside, what a bundle of joy your little lad is! My Daughter was just a touch older than Casper when she had her first flight, ironically also on a Jet2 flight but to Portugal!! She was a little more of a handful as she was in full toddler mode and wanted to explore....difficult on an aeroplane! Thankfully she didn't scream the place down, but boy it was a long 3 hours! That was 16 years ago now! This was a really enjoyable change in video Tim and Family, Thanks!
We've started using Jet2 after some disastrous experiences with TUI and I can't fault Jet2 at all. They've been brilliant
Hello Tim and Gaby,what a brilliant video,Menorca looks a really nice place, different places to go and the beach is nice,weather looked hot all week there.
thanks Steven
Thanks Tim and Gabby and family great video enjoyable to watch look forward to the next Yvonne 😊
thank you
45:55 you would be disappointed if you bite in to that expecting a banana, its a plantain lol. It is nearly always cooked - a bit like a potato. Plantain chips are nice.
Great family holiday upload showing what we could possibly expect. The large Bananas are Plantain, fantastic tasting fruits if you know how too cook them.
Really enjoy watching you Tim, Gabbie, Holly and Casper. X reminds me of family holidays past. X
Wish we had brought one now sound great
Was just about to comment on the plantains myself. Technically they are a fruit, but like tomatoes they are often eaten as a vegetable in savoury dishes. Unlike bananas, they cannot be eaten raw.
Love your reviews Tim and Casper is just adorable 😍
