Family holidays are getting even more affordable with Jet2holidays, which has announced a significant expansion of its “free child seats” program during the peak summer season. Now, on every flight during this summer’s school holidays, at least one free child seat will be available, which contributes to an increase in the number of seats available to record levels for the company.
This initiative comes in addition to the already existing free child seat program offered through Jet2holidays’ wide range of packages. According to the company, this is the largest availability of free holidays for children it has ever offered.
Even more positive news for families with teenagers comes from its subsidiary Jet2Villas, which has announced the extension of the age limit for free child seats to 17 years old. Previously, the limit only applied to children up to 12 years old. This change now covers a wider range of families and reflects the increased demand from parents with older children, who are looking for the flexibility and independence that villa holidays offer.
Jet2holidays is also continuing to offer additional incentives to those planning their holidays for 2025, by offering a discount of up to £50 per person on summer package bookings. This means a family of four can save up to £200 off the final price of the package. In addition, by using the discount code NOTHINGBEATS, an additional £100 discount is available per booking for package holidays departing by 31 October 2025.
Jet2.com and Jet2holidays CEO Steve Heapy commented:
“With the start of the school holidays, we are seeing a significant increase in demand for family holidays. Anticipating this trend, we have been mobilised to strengthen our offer, both with more free child seats and with significant financial discounts. We know that villa holidays, which combine privacy with the benefits of an organised package, are particularly popular with families – and especially those with older children. For this reason, we are extending the age limit to 17 years, making family holidays with Jet2Villas even more accessible.”
This strategy strengthens Jet2holidays’ family profile and positions it even more dynamically in the competitive summer holiday sector, amid increased demand and inflationary pressures on travel costs. Especially for families looking for a combination of comfort, savings and flexibility, the company’s recent offers are an ideal choice for this and next summer.
