Can I Get A Refund For My Jet2 Flight Cancellation?

As with any flight booking, you should always consider the details of the airline provider’s cancellation policy. We understand that cancelling a holiday booking isn’t a decision you’ll take lightly, but sometimes circumstances can mean your travel plans may have to change.

Cancelling your Jet2 flight means that you are likely to have to pay Jet2 cancellation charges. Although some Jet2 flight tickets are non-refundable, you can change the date and name of the ticket. This is great news if you are trying to cancel your Jet2 flight and don't want to lose out on all of your money, because it means you can change the name on the booking and sell it to someone else. TransferTravel.com is the travel marketplace that puts sellers in contact with buyers, set up for people exactly like you.

But first, let’s unpick the bones of the Jet2 cancellation policy and how it affects your booking.

What is the Jet2 cancellation policy?

If you want to cancel your Jet2 holiday, then there are several ways to do this. The responsibility for the cancellation lies with the lead booker. As the lead party, you must contact Jet2 via telephone or by contacting the Pre-Travel Services Team with your booking reference number and security details.

The Jet2 cancellation policy states that cancellation costs will be incurred as a result of you cancelling your booking. This will depend on the timeframe between the date of cancellation and the date of your flight departure. Jet2 cancellation charges are applied from the date that your written notice is received or the date that you contact Jet2.

There will be elements of your Jet2 booking that are non-refundable and are included in the cancellation charge. Non-refundable rooms, transport, meals or additional refreshments that you have added as part of your booking.

What are the Jet2 cancellation charges?

As we’ve stated, there are several Jet2 cancellation charges depending on the period when you provide notice of cancellation to Jet2. The figures below demonstrate the percentage of your holiday booking that Jet2 will retain depending on when the cancellation notice is received.

70 days or more: Loss of deposit
69-57 days: 30% (if greater than the total sum of the deposit)
56-43 days: 50%
42-29 days: 70%
28-15 days: 90%
14 days or less: 100%

Why might you need to cancel your Jet2 booking?

Perhaps a family member is ill or maybe you can't get the time off work. Maybe you have broken up with your partner that you were going to go away with. There are lots

of reasons that won't be able to use your ticket, so when you have booked a non-refundable ticket, your options may feel limited.

The Jet2 flight cancellation policy is strictly against refunds so what can you do? TransferTravel.com offers you a new avenue so that you can get some money back by utilising the name change rights you have to your pre-booked flight.

How Much Does It Cost to Change My Booking?

It works out cheaper to change your Jet2 flight than to cancel it, as the Jet2 cancellation fee is essentially 100% of your booking.

There are two different ways to make any booking changes: online or through the call centre. Whichever one you use, bear in mind that each one has different Jet2 flight change charges. Name, date and time change fees with Jet2.com are subject to a £35 admin fee per person per one-way flight as well as a fare difference online. The Jet2 call centre caps this charge at £35 per booking rather than per one-way flight, which makes it a slower but cheaper option.

If there is a difference in the 'today' price of the ticket, taxes, fees and charges from the original booking then you will be charged when you make the name change. Interestingly, if you make these changes through the call centre, they permit a name change without charging the fare difference, only the administration fee.
