Assisted travel

At Jet2holidays, we believe that travel should be accessible to everyone, and we are committed to making our flights and holidays as easy as possible for all.

We have a number of services available to you, depending on your personal requirements. Some of these are our responsibility and others are the responsibility of the airport from which you are travelling. Once we know your personal requirements, we will communicate with the airport to make the arrangements. All we ask is that you let us know as soon as possible and no later than 48 hours before your flight departs.

Did you know? You can make Assisted Travel requests at the same time you make your next Jet2 booking, without having to contact us! If you’ve already booked, you don’t need to call us, you can do this through Manage My Booking.

Assistance dogs

Where allowed, registered assistance dogs can be carried on our flights. We don’t carry any other animals onboard.


Registered assistance dogs must be trained by an organisation that’s an accredited member of the International Guide Dog Federation (IGDF) or an organisation that meets the full membership criteria of Assistance Dogs International (ADI). Plus, they must be microchipped, vaccinated against rabies and hold a valid pet passport.


If you need to travel with a registered assistance dog on one of our flights, you must tell us in advance. You can do this at the same time you make your next Jet2holidays booking, without having to contact us! If you’ve already booked, you don’t need to call us, you can do this through Manage My Booking.

I’ve got a nut allergy – what measures will be taken onboard to keep me safe?

Jet2.com no longer serve nut-based products onboard, but we can’t guarantee that other customers won’t bring their own nut products.

If you have a nut allergy, please inform us beforehand so the Cabin Crew can make this announcement, and let the crew onboard know that you have a nut allergy.
