Delays & awful attitude from jet2 staff
Our flight was delayed going out. Our flight suffered a heavier delay on return and it was a farce. Id already read a message in the jet 2 app telling me our 9.55pm flight was delayed until 12.10am. On arrival at Ibiza jet2 staff at the desk contradicted this when I asked about delay and after looking at a piece of paper said flight would be at 11.15pm. Staff were really unhelpful about what was going on and never even mentioned the delay I had to. There was no clear info on the boards about the flight and the flight time changed several times. No jet2 staff to be found anywhere after security. After hours when I did find a red shirt she actually kinda brandished me by saying 'Ive been going around different waiting areas telling people didnt you hear me?' Errr no because you've said nothing where we are sitting. She walked away not sharing any info with the area we sat in after telling me to do her job and let other people know. Seriously????
She claimed air traffic control issues as if to say we're covered dont look for compensation and then with a big smile said 'There has been another issue actually some passengers at Birmingham have caused a disturbance.' Then went on to say 'I don't know why they can't behave' Ah ok so thats what jet2 staff really think about their customers- nice! She told me 11.45pm and that it was gate 10 like I should already know. Once gate was finally showing on boards people started waiting around. It was a long wait with not one jet2 member of staff around to advise. When staff turned up none of them spoke to the waiting passengers to inform of anything. Wheres the customer service in that? When they did speak there wasnt one syllable of a- sorry for the delay which also seemed highly arrogant. A sorry and a smidgen of accountability go a long way. I had to walk over to the staff to double check what Id heard. Once we boarded the pilot said they'd been stuck in Brussels and somewhere in Spain. The taxi company told me they'd followed the flight for pick up times and the plane had been sitting in Birmingham then flew to Ibiza to get us and fly us back to Birmingham! If the taxi company were right about this thats not good. Whether the taxi company were right isn't the point of this review. The delays can happen but the attitude of jet2 staff at Ibiza airport was bad falling heavily short of any decent level of customer service! People bust their gut working all year to pay for a week away. Its extremely expensive it's a precious family holiday and jet2 staff deride other customers and talk to you like you're taking a £3 bus.
Even worse after being unable to see a jet2 staff member anywhere at Ibiza airport we arrived at Birmingham to an absolute fleet of jet2 staff all doing nothing. Jet2 should train staff better recruit better and allocate staff better.
