One of the most significant concerns that a plus-sized traveller may have before flying is whether or not the airline’s seats would be comfortable, particularly when it comes to long-haul flights. You can tailor your flight experience in several ways, such as by verifying the seat measurements ahead of time, choosing the airline that has the largest seats, switching to a different booking class, or reserving an additional seat. Many passengers prefer to book an extra seat in advance to ensure their comfort throughout the flight.
But how exactly can you book a different seat? The method may vary slightly depending on who you are travelling with. Let’s take a look at Jet2’s additional seat reservation procedures.
Disclaimer: Here at Plus Size Travel Too we don’t believe it should be the plus-size person’s responsibility to purchase a second seat when flying, however, we know that it’s some people’s preferred way to ensure comfort on a flight. This guide is to help those that do want to purchase a second seat on Jet2.
Things To Think About When Booking An Extra Seat With Jet2
It can be quite difficult to find the information that you need to book an additional seat when you want to, so we have looked at the information for you. To get the information for booking an additional seat with Jet2 , we had to speak with a customer service agent on their Whatsapp chat as the information wasn’t easy to find online.
You need to plan to make sure you get your additional seat.
You need to do some research before to make sure you follow the procedures in place.
Some companies might not be able to take requests for last-minute flights because the process can be hard and take a long time.
You might need to make your ticket a long time in advance. If you wait until the last minute to fly, you might not be able to do so.

How To Book A Second Seat on Jet2
When you book an extra seat with Jet2, you should first think about what kind of trip you are undertaking. Jet2 sell both package holidays and flight-only tickets so, you need to think about this before you book an extra seat. If you want to book an extra seat on a flight as part of a package holiday, you will also need to book a flight-only seat on the same flight, and then link the bookings by talking to the customer service team. This means that if you book a second seat with Jet2, you may have to keep track of two ticket references. If you just want to book a flight, you can do both at the same time.
If you book a package trip with Jet2 and need an extra seat, you must:
Book your package holiday or flight-only ticket.
Book a ticket for just the flight on the same flight as your holiday. Use ‘ Extra Seat’ as the booking name.
You need to pay to select your seats with both bookings.
Contact Jet2 with both of your references so they can link the bookings.
Essential considerations you need to make:
You will be provided with two booking reference numbers.
You will need to book an additional flight-only seat after you have booked your package deal.
You will get additional luggage to check in if you pay for this with your ticket, however, you DO NOT get additional additional 10kg hand luggage.
This may not be possible to do on last-minute flights where the seat selection has been open for a while.
Do You Have To Pay For A Second Seat OnJet2
When you book a second seat on Jet2 for the same person, you have to pay for an extra seat. You have to book a flight-only ticket instead of a package vacation if you want to do this. Both bookings need you to pay for the option of selecting your seats on the plane. Then, you’ll need to get in touch with Jet2 to link the booking numbers and make sure your seats are together. This may be a waste of money if pre-bookable seats have already been open as there may not be any availability of seats together. It’s advisable to book in advance.
