SUMMER STARTS HERE COVER STORY
HELLO SUNSHINE!
With our new holiday package service Jet2holidays.com, you can say hasta la vista to complicated arrangements. Get your flexi flights, hotels, car hire and travel insurance sorted online, courtesy of Yorkshire’s favourite airline. All for a low price
There’s a brand new holiday package service in town, Jet2holidays.com, so you can sort out your direct flights, top-notch hotels, comprehensive insurance, private transfers and car requirements, with prices so low you’ll do a double take. With destinations including the Balearics, the Spanish Costas, Tenerife and the Algarve to choose from, you can now book your complete holiday package through the one-stop Jet2holidays.com website, leaving you with nothing more pressing to think about than which sunglasses to wear. Whether your brood are water babies in search of a splashing day out, would-be cowboys looking for a western adventure, or teens craving the bright lights – of an Ibiza club – you’ll find a package that suits. And that’s not forgetting those of you who simply want some sun, sea, seafood and shut-eye.
Splash out in Tenerife
With its gently shelving shores, sandy beaches and abundance of water activities, Tenerife is certainly family-friendly. Start the day off on a boat ride departing from Puerto Colon or Los Cristianos for whale and dolphin spotting excursions. After a light lunch of tapas, visit the fantastic animal park Loro Parque (www.loroparque.com) to catch up with the penguins, sharks and giant tortoises. For water babies of all ages, Aqualand (www.aqualand.es) will keep the family amused with its waterslides, tornado rides and surfing wave pools.
Ride into the sunset in Almería
If the thought of holidaying in a Spaghetti Western makes your family giddy-up with excitement, head to the legendary Costa de Almería. Clint Eastwood’s long, lean shadow lingers here and when you’re not taking riding lessons or watching live shows by former stuntmen, you can saunter around the sites of film locations including The Good, The Bad & The Ugly and A Fistful of Dollars. For a horseback ride into the sunset check out the Desierto de Tabanas, the closest thing to a desert in Europe.
Kick back on the Costa Cálida
Costa Cálida is aptly named the ‘warm coast’ – there’s an average of 315 sunny days a year. Here also is the world’s largest salt-water lagoon, Mar Menor, which is usually five blissful degrees warmer than the sea. This lagoon’s waters are ideal to ease aches and pains, and there’s safe and easy swimming due to the salt’s buoyancy. You can rent a car or bicycle for superb sightseeing, or unwind with a glass of Murcian red and some pisto murciano, a tasty dish of potato, tomato and peppers. In fact with Jet2holidays.com low prices you could kick off your shoes, turn off your mobile phone and settle in for an extra week.
Party in Ibiza
In San Antonio and Ibiza Town you’ll find hot clubs Privilege, Eden, Pacha and Space. Famous DJs fuel the non-stop partying, and strutting your stuff till dawn is all part of the program. And if you’re up for it the next day, there are water sports and golf for those who haven’t headed back to the comfort of the hotel to recharge.
ARE YOU HAPPY WITH OUR NEW HOLIDAY DEALS?

It was Sharon’s birthday last week but I forgot! Hopefully the weekend we’re taking now in Barcelona will make up for it. The new holiday deals sound ideal for us. We’re quite well travelled, we went to Tenerife in November, Disneyland Paris in August and New York in May.
Sharon Grace and Ian Campbell
We’re going to look round the ar t galleries in Barcelona and to drink lots of sangría! We’ve got two tutors with us, so we’re sure w e’ll get to see some of the sights, too… The new deals sounds great; we’d travel on a package if the price is as reasonable as this flight.

We tend to travel with Jet2.com and book the hotel independently because you usually get the best deals that way. But now they’re doing it all for us, we’ll get it all in one.

Most people prefer to book a package holiday than having to sort everything out themselves.

MAKING IT EASIER FOR YOU
Jet2.com business director Richard Bodin hopes the new packages will make your holiday more relaxing, right from the time you start looking for great deals
“For most people their holiday is the most important purchase of the year and we recognise that there is a certain element of the population who want the packaged element of a holiday provided for them and who are not comfortable doing the research themselves.
“The problem with traditional tour operators is that they force you to fly from the airport of their choice on the day of their operation and they don’t give you huge flexibility. They all have to cover costs based on the traditional way of putting packages together, which include expensive brochures and the need to maintain costly travel agencies.
“Jet2holidays.com’s new package deals offer you the choice of flying from six Northern-based airports on the day of your choice, and with a flexible duration. These are holidays for the 21st-century traveller.
“I’ll be taking my wife and children to Portugal on a Jet2holidays.com package this year. I’m also a real lover of the Balearics; the place offers everything to everyone. Mallorca has moved upmarket and Menorca is perfect for the family. Of course, Ibiza is the party capital but it’s also very beautiful, which not everyone realises.”
