But more on this later. Let’s get back to what you came here to find out.

Will I get a refund for cancelling my Jet2 flight?

Jet2 flights are non-refundable¹. This means that in most circumstances, you won’t get your money back if you cancel a flight with the airline.

But there are a couple of circumstances in which you may be able to get a refund, or amend your booking so that you don’t lose your money. We’ll run through these now.

What to do if you make a mistake when booking Jet2 flights

If you’ve made a mistake with your booking, the good news is that you can amend certain details.

You can change the name and date of the flight for a £35 administration fee per change¹. For date changes, you’ll also need to pay the difference in fare (if any). Minor spelling mistakes of up to three letters can be amended for free. You can make changes online, by calling customer services or visiting a Jet2 airport sales desk.

If you booked in error at Jet2, cancel your flight within 24 hours and there’s a chance that you may get a refund³. Jet2 says on its website:

“Jet2.com is a non-refundable airline, but we do understand that unintentional booking mistakes can sometimes happen. At our discretion, we may consider a refund if you tell us about the error by contacting our Call Centre within 24 hours of booking.”

Jet2 Covid-19 cancellation policy

Like many airlines, Jet2 has brought in a number of policies relating to Covid-19, which you can read about here.

If you need to cancel a Jet2 flight for Covid related reasons, such as having to self-isolate due to NHS Test and Trace, you can amend your booking without having to pay an admin fee⁴. You’ll need to call customer services on 0333 300 0042 to do this.
