"The performance of no-frills airlines on popular short-haul routes,
such as to Spain, Portugal and Italy, was more varied – Jet2.com
was rated the highest." This follows on from the success of a poll of
more than 25,000 members of Holiday Which? magazine

Scheduled British Airline 2005, and in addition the second
best globally, that passengers are most likely to recommend to a friend.
The survey proved that Jet2.com leads the low cost
airline market in key areas such as convenience and standards of
service.
In addition, the up-market title for independent
travellers, Wanderlust, voted Jet2.com
the top UK low cost operator in 2005 and, in fact, second best only to

balance.
