      Sorry to hear that Dave Bob. As you would have seen from the video TUI are also my favourite but objectively based on the criteria mentioned, Jet2 edged it.

    I must give a thumbs up for Jet2, as I use them regularly. Their flight times out of Manchester to my preferred destinations suit me and my budget. The fares you show are all very high. Were they last minute prices? I am sure if you book in advance, you can get better deals

    • @BlakeEdgington

    Thomas cook are going down and Tui got saved as they where going down as Thomsons , both had major loss but jet2 haven’t had any loss in the years of operations and are the second largest tour operator in the U.K. so my favourite , they need long haul routes tho

    • @BlakeEdgington
      @BlakeEdgington  Před 5 lety +2

      I certainly hope that Thomas Cook survive for the sake of the staff. Too many airlines have vanished this year already. If Jet2 offered more long haul they could possibly have won this comparison. They do have a strong business model so likely don't see the benefit.

    Never had any issues with them and their luggage allowance is amazing.
    Both tui and Thomas Cook start at 15kg for luggage and any more has to be payed for.
    Jet2 go straight in at 22kg. Excellent.

    just for extra info regarding Thomas Cook- if you've got a package holiday, seats and any other flight extras are cheaper than if you book flights only. front row seats can be from £3 per person to £14. As for luggage- 15 kg or 20 kg is included and if you want to increase it's £10 for every extra 5 kg. i know this vid is old but there's been a change to the hand luggage- it's now 8 kg :)

    We were regular travellers with TUI for about 10 years before trying Jet2 - they are now our go to choice for flights in Europe.
    Made the mistake of using Thomas Cook last year and despite reserving and paying for extra legroom seats they changed the aircraft both ways which put me at 6’2” in a standard seat on a 3.5 hour flight. Never again.
    Can highly recommend the Jet2 experience very slick and efficient. TUI are still good but more expensive and are being left behind by Jet2 on the whole experience.

      Yep - didn’t find out until we got on the plane by which time it was too late.
      Unfortunately on the return journey despite contacting TC in resort to make sure we would have extra legroom seats on the return trip exactly the same thing happened. Won’t use Thomas Cook again.
      We’ve been using Jet2 regularly for about 4 years and never had a bad experience.

    Interesting result...
    I have only done one package with Thomas Cook but numerous with Jet2 and TUI plus flight only bookings with all. I have only done one trip on the TCX A321 and that was when they were brand new from Newcastle to Antalya and they were fab. TUI is an airline that I have never had any issue with at all but on short haul I have somehow only flown on their sky interior planes which is the opposite of Jet2, who seems to be rubbish for me, as for reasons I have gone into before...
    Adding Ryanair and EasyJet into the mix would be very interesting though...

    I have flown with all these airlines and my favourite of the all has to be Jet 2 although i have not had any serious bad experiences with any of the airlines for me Jet 2 takes the edge from the friendly staff to the amazing package deals not to mention the leg room onboard. Coming in second place i believe Tui is a brilliant airline and they do come in close behind Jet 2 by there friendly staff again but their IFE on board the 767 and 787 aircraft which was a bonus to have on a mid range flight. Despite Thomas cook having some what of an IFE system they do unfortunatly come last by their no so pleasent and inviting staff which i did experience not only onboard the aircraft but also due to a miss understanding on there end at baggage check in, also the lack of leg room was a real let down to me during the flight. To me cabin mood lighting is not an important factor however food service was great on most airlines apart from some minor issues ( I honestly cant tell the difference between airline catering XD) Which leaves me with the answer of Jet 2 being my personal favourite airline given by the amazing leg room amazing staff members and the fantastic baggage allowence). When i was onboard jet 2 unfortunatly both of the flights i was on didnt have the model 757 which i was looking to purchase however one of the amazing staff memebers at Jet 2 sent me the model aircraft a week after the flight once i sent them a message explaining my issue. THANK YOU! For me Jet 2 would become the ultimate airline through proggressing in the only way by either adding IFE systems on board thir aircrafts and adding more route destinations. WELL DONE JET 2!!! (None of them will live up to the standerd of Monarch ;) )

Jet2 are an airline that I have flown with a further 3 times since this video came out and they have definitely grown on me.

    How did Tui come last place!!!!???.Also Tui would obviously be the most expensive airline to travel on because of there service. It is also amazing that they fly the 787-8/9 to short haul places which no other airline does. Your saying that Thomas cook are the best but they are lacking passenger growth and are struggling to stay in business. This shows that more people want to fly with Tui than Thomas cook because even though Tui are more expensive, its worth spending the money with their great service and luxury aircraft.

    Well we can now ignore that said about Thomas Cook. Pity the airline was not made a going concern to separate it from the package side of the business. It was profitable but suffered because of poor business management. Less choice = higher fares and we have seen how some have rocketed within hours of the airline going bust.

    • @BlakeEdgington

      Sadly you are correct, the demand will still be there but with a lack of competition it hits the wallet. The writing seemed to be on the wall for Thomas Cook for a while and they appeared to suffer from the same issues that finished Monarch.

    Hi Blake, noticed your collection of model die-cast aircraft. Flew to Shannon Airport from Birmingham for a birthday weekend celebration staying in the friendly town of Limerick. Family and I were very impressed with the airport that has been recently been modernised when flying back to Brum yesterday evening. There are lots of things to see and do at the departure lounge. Picture gallery of all the US presidents that have flown to Shannon.
    Highlight is the Shannon Airport Aviation Gallery, displaying countless numbers of die-cast aircraft models with well known national airlines in glass cabinets and shelves, even hanging down from the ceiling. Aer Lingus ATR 72-600 operated by Stobart Air has plenty of leg room with narrower seats. I am 5ft 11" and not broad built, felt very comfy on my window seat 8A by the turboprop engine.
