Jet2 does not offer a standalone "Priority Boarding" product for purchase like some budget carriers. However, there are several ways to board early. Passengers who require Assisted Travel or have mobility requirements are typically invited to board first to ensure they are comfortably seated before the main rush. Additionally, families traveling with young children or infants often receive priority as part of Jet2's "Family First" philosophy. For everyone else, boarding is usually conducted by row numbers or via a general call. If you want a smoother airport experience, you can instead opt for "Twilight Check-in," which allows you to drop off your bags the evening before a morning flight, or purchase an Airport Lounge pass to relax in a dedicated area until your gate is called.

Yes, you can get priority boarding with Jet2, but it’s not a standalone service like some other airlines. Instead, it’s included as part of their “Speedy Boarding” add-on, which is available on most of their flights.

Here’s a breakdown of how it works:

1. Speedy Boarding

This is the primary way to get priority boarding. When you purchase Speedy Boarding, you get: Priority Boarding: You will be invited to board the aircraft before general boarding begins. Speedy Bag Drop: Access to dedicated check-in bag drop desks (where available) to get through the airport quicker.

2. How to Get It

  • During Booking: You can add Speedy Boarding when you book your flight on the Jet2.com website or through their call centre.
  • After Booking: You can also add it later by managing your booking online, usually up to a certain time before departure.

3. Cost

The cost of Speedy Boarding varies depending on the route and demand. It’s typically a per-person, per-flight charge (so you need to purchase it for both your outbound and return flights if you want it for both).

4. Who Gets It Automatically?

Priority boarding (and often access to fast-track security) is provided free of charge to: Jet2holidays customers who have booked a package holiday (flight + hotel) with them. This is a key benefit of booking a package. Passengers who require special assistance (and one travelling companion).
