My NIGHTMARE Journey to Tenerife & RIPPED OFF at the Airport- Jet2 Liverpool to TFS ✈️ 🥵
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 жов 2024
- Join me for my Hellish Journey to Tenerife South with JET2 from Liverpool July 2024. We start with a smooth security experience at Liverpool John Lennon Airport, picking up some drinks from WHSmiths ready for the flight. After a look at the duty free and duty free prices of alcohol, we decided to try the new Restaurant Bar at the Airport Departures called Sable & Co Bar & Kitchen. I ordered two Latte Coffees and a Bacon Toastie which cost over £18!! On top of this steep price, there was a mandatory service charge tip added to the bill. I will let you be the judge of the food, service and the price! WOW!
After a rush to the gate as we were late (my own fault) we boarded the Jet2 flight LS3269 to Tenerife South. The JET2 staff were very friendly and pleasant, including the ground staff at the gate who made us feel welcome. After a nice Bacon roll that put the Sable & Co one to shame, the main issues began and the plane started to show some major flaws that made my flight experience horrendous and like i was being cooked alive in a fish bowl!
Upon landing to a gorgeous sunny Tenerife we picked up our Sanasty Rental Car at arrivals and headed home to Los Cristianos before later enjoying a Tandoori Hut Indian for dinner overlooking Los Cristianos Beach!

How much profit on £18 for 2 small coffees (made up of water), 2 pieces of toast, 2 pieces of cheap bacon? And they want a mandatory service charge to pay the wages of their staff! Crazy 😂😂 and to think, people say €7.50 is expensive for a full English in Tenerife 😂
Proper rip off and the service charge really took the Mick!!
was you happy with the service ? i wasn't on your behalf ! if your not happy tell them to remove it , like you say at that price staff can be paid a sufficient wage
That 'Toastie' was an utter rip off in itself, I would've thrown it back them
Usually you can just ask for the service charge to be removed, have had to do this many times when service is inadequate.
O No looks disgusting!! I couldn't have eaten that. Should of gone to WH Smith or Boots and got a sandwich from there.
Poor Laura, she's brought moaning Minnie back from Disney land, her face in the car 😂
😂😂
Wouldn’t dream of going for coffee n eats with only half an hour to go! 😂
stop moaning mate, love the videos, people in UK going to work in the grey rain. cheer up mate.
We travel everywhere with jet2...never had a bad flight...Notice nothing bad said about Tenerife airport which is the worst.
It’s terrible everything food related was closing by 9pm it was a joke
You flew on the old version of the 737-800. The newer 737 have the new soft close overhead lockers, window blinds and mood lighting.
Thanks for that bit of sunshine Andrew. I do love the airport experience and the anticipation . Flew Jet 2 to Ibiza in April and there was a hen 🥳 party on board. The staff were kept busy but thoroughly professional throughout including dealing with a plonker who was caught vaping in the loo.😢 Tenerife later in the year.
Wow sounds a tough situation !
32 years ago. I went to Tunisia....on the flight back, My seat was facing back....taking off was awful, i was so far forward, almost in someones lap. I had a banger of a hang-over also...im sure that beats your flight haha...great vlog, thanks x
The plane doing the odd banking is perfectly normal and it's all about slot space for landing and approach procedures. You can't make the air colder it isn't a car it's powered by the engine Intakes so ask the captain for a laugh
Sound just like Garvey moaning in the car 🤣🤣
You wouldn't think you had just been on holiday Laura.😳
The plane you were on was a Boeing 737-800 that is now 21 years old. Jet2 have an order with Airbus for 102 A321 over the next few years.
Only the plane let them down, service was good
Rucksack and case no wonder all space taken up in overhead storage and stop moaning stay in Tenerife 😂
Love to spend time with you on your trips.Gives me confidence when I fly.
My daughter flies with jet2 all the time and has never had a problem ...
You are on the hot side of the plane on that run but you get the best arrival views. The holiday starts when you see that big triangular group of buildings 1 minute out. Been to Los Gigs loads of times.
I have never seen a bacon toasty served like that! If I was the server I would have refused to bring it out 😂
Horrendous om😂
Andrew I don’t think you read the menu properly at breakfast. The first item on the menu is bacon or sausage on a brioche bun. You got toast instead so I guess you ordered something that wasn’t on the menu. Still not great value or service but got to appreciate there’s a bit of a mix up on your side there too
Speak as you find but I have never had a bad flight with jet 2
Nore have i until now, very uncomfortable
Absolutely loved the rant about the plane haha 🤣🤣👏 class. Don’t forget your safety card haha
Have never managed to fly with Jet 2 yet, its one of those awkward airports (Stansted ) for us to get to. They dont fly from Gatwick or Heathrow.
Early morning flights are the best, part of the fun is getting up in the middle of the night to get to the airport ❤
I must admit i would have walked out of that restaurant waiting all that time for that coffee and slices of bread, that 100% wasn't a toasty
I always book the same seats with Jet2, Never had a problem, Touch wood, Back again in March :)
Peking Palace buffet Chinese in costa adeje.yummy. or the ginger pig.its fabulous 🍽✈️
Andrew, love your vlogs , however stress doesn't suit you mate!
Great vlog Andrew & Laura :-) The office sweets were from me, hope you enjoy them 😊😁
1st time in Tenerife in September, Los Christianos i cant wait! You've made me even more excited now❤
Welcome Home, 🎉 Huge Well done Laura on your Trip Advisor Award 🎉 I felt for you Andrew on that flight, I too had no blinds on our last 6 flight with both styles of Jet 2 Aircraft, the heat was awful and it was blinding, could not see my screen at all, Loveing watching your Florida Vlogs, see you in December 😊
100% agree!
We travelled to Tenerife with Jet2 last October, but from East Mids airport. A great plane, comfy seats and window blinds. You were very unlucky with your flight, though. That coffee and bacon and toast you had, pre flight. A good vet could have brought that bacon back to life, so under-cooked, and cold coffees to boot! Well done and congratulations to Laura and Buddies, with the top 10 in the world award on Trip Adviser.
Unbelievable that you openly say you take 15 kg in the Cabin Bag. Such a safety Risk. Arrogant and selfish behaviour.
😂
The airline has no weight limit on hand luggage, if its such a safety risk thats up to the airline to set limits 👍🏽
@@TheKnightStriderhaha deleting my comment is so childish 🤣 pity that the official jet 2 homepage proves that you are wrong. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@TheKnightStrider10kg mate!
Thats his speciality if he doesnt like what a subscriber says its deleted and blocked lol@SecretExplorer13
My last Jet2 flight in February flying back from Maderia, we all boarded and then they kept us on the plane for 3 3/4 hours because of a technical fault in 29 degrees heat. Plane was full...and that was hot! The staff gave us one cup of water the whole time! They couldnt fix the fault and we were eventually taken off and all put up in a hotel till the following day. People were ill because of that heat!!! Flying to Tenerife in September with them...fingers crossed for a decent plane!!
Great video
12:30 Versace Blue Jeans is £11:99 at Asda stores and if ever you needed proof Duty Free is a scam to buy that item in duty free costs 48% more than getting it on the high street
Also what is it with Huge Toblerones?? On person I know who
Likes that stuff is Alan Partridge lol😂
Loved the video..
And you’re right, cold coffee… get the hell outta here 😂
Tenerife airport similar prices as uk airport. You must spend more on food and sweets than the flight itself 🤦♀️😂
Coming for first time in October, did you say you have a car rental place do you have a link to your website mate. I'm planning on coming your bar for cocktails aswell 5 of us coming
My advice, take noise cancelling headphones, 4 hours of Haribo rustling and munching strangers drives me insane.
Also, the Boots click and collect gets you past security restrictions - but most airlines will insist on putting those purchases in your personal bag so leave some room and weight in that 1 bag - they'll slaughter your bank card at boarding if youre unlucky. Boots isnt duty free even if you collect airside.
BRILLIANT video - that's really fun to watch bless you both Hope you had a great time x Some interesting points there, I totally trust your observations.
Very true lol 😜
That breakfast was shocking Andrew. I wouldn’t have been happy with that for the price.
The lack of window blinds is because when jet2 started out they used those planes for cargo and since they stopped doing that, they’ve never been refitted onto them
We use Jet2 a lot and not had a bad flight, the port side does get hot on the older Boeing planes , hence the safety card blind , the new fleet is all airbus 321’s and they have blinds , only issue with them is row1 seat A-C is not extra leg room anymore. Re la gomera loop , we had that once and it was due to congestion coming into Tenerife
The neos have terrible seats too making it very uncomfortable and much less legroom compared to the rest of the fleet
Love the UK to Tenerife vlogs, was laughing when you mentioned not to drink Alcohol when flying, the one and only flight on Jet2 I had it was like a pub crawl at 37 Thousand feet as this is the type of customers Jet2 attract are to say the least going to Spain to eat and drink British food in huge amounts. Dreadful airline, as for the window less shades probably cost cutting again as they save a bit of weight on the aircraft by removing them😂
Hahaha 🤣
Re the port side of the plane , I always sit in a window seat and yes it’s gets hot , but I use the safety card as a blind 👍🏻 best views of the island coming in though
They were hardly busy in that restaurant yet put no effort in to that toastie ! Couldn't manage to actually but the bacon on the toast either !! Think I would have give it them back.
What a rip off. Bless you two going backto the heat and buddies x
I mean you wanted bacon sandwich with toasted bread a toastie is two slices of bread cheese and usually ham made in a toastie machine maybe it was lost in translation 😅
I just stick the menu or a catalogue up the window. Job done.😉
Bless you Andrew. You looked as if you were struggling with the heat in board. You’ll be glad to be home. Thanks for sharing your amazing Disney vlogs. 🥰☀️🥰xxx
Your dad said when he was in tenerife the last time i think were gonna have a lovely summer hahahaha
My first ever trip to Florida 2022 with tui I had no window blind so when I arrived after the long flight and feeling so ill I literally threw up after getting off the plane… not a great start at all. But soon forgotten once I got to magic kingdom 🎉
Our flight was Jet2 in May, the plane out was absolutely fine, on the way back though was AirExplore used by Jet2 i have never been so hot!
With regards to the 360 near La Gomera, this is for one of 2 things. Either spacing the aircraft out for landing because it's so busy(a hold), this is fairly rare at Tenerife they would normally just use S bends that aren't as noticeable. Or it was too high and they use the 360 to descend. I'm afraid you'll have to get used with no window shade, most new aircraft don't have them to save weight (yours was an older aircraft but manufacturers have been offering to remove them for Airlines for about 20 years now).
Duty free has been a rip off for years! Only time I buy anything from duty free is when I visit my son in norway.well worth it then
No one seems to buy anything in them
Hi Guys, I thought Jet 2 allowed just your one 10 kg cabin bag? I wasn't aware you could take a rucksack as well?
The coffee and bacon sandwich from the new cafe was mediocre, especially for what you paid. Hopefully, they will improve. Congratulations on the TripAdvisor award for Buddies bar!.😊🎉
About 20 years old , good to point out that not all jet 2 aircraft are the same you will get sun visor pull downs in most of their other aircraft
I think funnily enough it was first owned by Ryanair who didn’t opt for window blinds when ordered
Do you edit these videos on your phone?
The first thing I would do is have a Bombay babu in Costa Adeje it is the best Indian I ever had I recommend it
Flying over next year to stay at Andorra Hotel and Apartments. Question I'm looking for a car, automatic but has to have hand controls as I'm Paralysed from the waist down. Can you accommodate . Let me now
How can you have been so hot on a plane the higher you go the colder its suppose to get 😂😂
Depends what temp they set
@@TheKnightStrider Haha. I meant the outside temperature when on a plane when it says minus 40 when up in the sky.
My worst flight was 8hrs on delta after 9hrs across the Atlantic with Vergin first class, late into jfk so we had less than an hour to go through immigration and back through security to catch a delta flight to San Francisco, no service what so ever the cabin crew made them selves scarce we wher ment to have food and drinks service but none. But on the rtn trip it was fantastic brilliant crew. But I’ve never had issue with Vergin or American and even BA but it has been a while since I’ve flown BA. but we probably won’t be on a flying holiday for a few years due to costs and other plans. But when I fly I try to premium economy bar are free upgrade we had with Vergin to first witch was amazing but to pay the full price is not what I can afford, and I try to go with a full service airline due if I’m paying good money to fly I want to enjoy the flight ✈️ especially as a av geek. I get what low cost carriers provide and dose service a purpose and have had some good flights on them to.
Love Tandori Hut. I went through Liverpool last week and couldn't believe the prices in the cafe. What a RIP off.
Crazy price!!
Your aircraft registration was - G-GDFR. Do you know what that means? GDF stands for Great Deal Friendlier and there are quite a few in the Jet2 fleet (the last letter varies).
You will also find G-JZHx (Jet 2 Holidays), G-HLYx (Holiday), G-SUNx (Sun of course) and a few other more obscure ones (but they all have a meaning and explanation).
Thats very interesting! Thanks 😊
@@richardborlandhodson I like how Jet2 do that with their registrations unlike easyJet with there boring ones like for the neos g-uz so on
Just been to Madeira and the same the same issue , hot through the day and freezing at night due to no blinds
One of the reasons some planes don’t had window blinds is believe or not to save weight !
If you’ve ever flown on a 787 Dreamliner they don’t have window blinds either but they do have some technology that dims the window at a press of a button - I don’t know if that would help with the heat issue.
You should try the “Bike Shed” walk at Leeds Bradford on a cold, wet, windy day !
I'm gonna sound sp stupid but how are you watching stuff on youre phones ? Can't get signal on planes? Am I missing a trick lol
Download things to watch before you fly
We agree Andrew Jet 2 aircraft are awful and we were shocked by what you were charged for the food in the airport however I'm sure Tandoori Hut made up for it we love it there welcome home both of you X
Great video. No window blinds on older aircraft to reduce the aircraft weight. Fairly standard across the fleet now. It doesn't have the Boeing Short Field Package on it, it doesn't have Performance Improvement Package, and it has slightly less efficient engines. So they have to do something to make it able to fly with full loads and still fly to the airports that have performance limitations.
21 year old plane..even ryanair have window blinds 😂
@@TheKnightStrider That's correct, it's older. It doesn't have the Boeing Short Field Package on it, it doesn't have Performance Improvement Package, and it has slightly less efficient engines. So they have to do something to make it able to fly with full loads and still fly to the airports that have performance limitations. RYR are RYR 😂
Dont stress about the gate being announced. Its when you see people boarding is when you need to get your skates on otherwise youre just sat on a plane or a cramped bus unnecessarily for longer than you need to be
Another great vlog Andrew sorry you so hot nothing worse hope Laura ok💯👍
Thanks 👍
Third world problems jeez
So the breakfast was good value then in your eyes? 😂
@@TheKnightStrider actually same price as San Carlo if you look
I think you mean first world problems...the third world tends to worry about where there next meal is coming from, not the price of a coffee 😂
I’m twenty minutes into this and feeling really stressed.
The answer to this is to sit on the side of the plane relative to time of day and sun. Easy with Tenerife as it’s north-south. You just got an old 738. Just bad luck
Absolutely freezing on our flight to Kefalonia with jet 2 with cold aircon!!!! We all complained but nothing happened. 😢
Jet2 have a really mixed fleet of aircraft at the moment, I used to work for them. They have around 40 Boeing 737s that are newer that have window blinds, the mid life ones have had their blinds taken out, interestingly I’ve heard it’s because the aircraft is heavier than the new ones to allow passengers to have more hand luggage for weight and balance! We don’t have many old ones any more but it’s just a case Of waiting for the new planes to come it which have been delayed due to Covid! Liverpool only have 737s so it’s just pot luck which plane you get! Manchester seem to be getting all the new planes, in terms of the temperature in the cabin, on the 737 old and new are controlled in the flight deck, and does take a while to come through! The airbuses the new ones are controlled by the cabin crew on the screen at the front. I hate to see you had an uncomfortable flight with jet2 because when I worked there they are such a good company and the staff work so hard. Im glad the service made up for it! Please don’t let it put you off, they have major plans for new aircrafts over the the next few years! :)
Thanks for the info!
Well done on you’re trip award Laura.🎉❤.
Where’s good to stay not far from buddies? I’d love to try those cocktails.
Royal Palm Apartments, Paradise Park, Cristian Sur
What sort of phone has Laura got ,looked a nice big screen
Wow! I mean I love Jet2 but of course other opinions matter. As a few other comments say, there are no window blind, to reduce weight a little bit since its an older aircraft. I feel for ya being boiling hot on a flight lol. Hope you are having a lovely holiday in Florida. 😄
Smirnoff 1 litre are 2 for £16.88 (20 Euros). They are £24.00 each at Asda today. 👍
Congrats to buddies bar being on the top list you guys. Aww Andrew, your face on that plane with the heat 🥵 I hate being hot and confined, I'm sorry but I did laugh for a sec sorry 😂
We go to Greg’s Andrew when we fly from Liverpool before we go through check in first though but it was not open when u fly this early got a very early flight home to Tenerife we never had one that early to there xxxxxx❤❤
We flew Jet 2 to Turkey last week - window blinds as normal on way out but none on way back the other night. We were a night time flight so no issue but would have been a nightmare during the day.
It really was, first time i’ve never had a sunblind
They are starting to remove them especially on their 737-800s as it reduces weight.
I very rarely hear people flying with jet 2 for the comfort of the seat, many other things though. I have never not had a blind on my many jet2 flights and the cabin temperature is controlled in the flight deck on thes older aircraft. So setting off many changes of the temperature makes you as popular with the pilots as if you had asked them for a midair change of destination... At least you know they are awake!
Lol true 😂
Hi im thinking about going to los cristianos for a holiday, ive been to las americas in the past but id like to know if los cristianos is quiter and suitable for a couples holiday?
Yeap Andrew I’ve been on aJet2 from Stansted to TFS row 1A no window blinds same on the return trip bizarre like you I had to out the magazine over the window not great need a blind to stop the sun.
Hilarious...you are definitely your fathers son....a true Garvey rant. Lol
😂😂😂
Hi Andrew/Laura duty free? should be renamed as holiday last ripoff purchases. ? 😂
Especially when you see we will match any internet deal online, that suggests to me that their products are overpriced so be careful to what you purchase from here.?
I recently flew from Birmingham to Madeira, looking at purchasing a iPad. I could find it cheaper online, then I decided to purchased when I got back to the uk.
Surely the stores know people will do the same,? what’s the point if it’s easier to send back if faulty when your not getting it cheaper.?
In fairness overheads for a restaurant in a UK airport would be way more than a building and staff wages in Tenerife….the full English looked better value.
Mandatory service charge though? How much profit on £18 for 2 small coffees, 2 pieces lf bread and 2 pieces of fatty bacon?
That Indian restaurant looks amazing and I’ve never flown with Jet2 and after this i definitely won’t be using them. Buddies bar by the end of the year fingers crossed 🤞
I was surprised at no window blind but i’d still use them again just hope for a newer plane
Some aircraft never came with window blinds . Depends where the aircraft came from originally . It was a mid life a/c. Loads of new Airbus planes to arrive now and in the next year or so.
It was Jet2 who removed it.
The expiry date on your Bacon Crusty Baguette is my 49th birthday. Maybe I win good eats for this.
Nothings changed since the 70,s...
Well done on the trip advisor award🎉. Well done Laura🎉🎉
Jet2 are hit and miss, I've just flown out to Ibiza from Manchester on Ryanair and back with easyJet and had a fantastic flight with both, window shades included.
Great video. I felt your pain when you were in the plane bathroom. Sweating. Hot 🥵 You looked poorly/ overheating. Put it down to a bad travel day. Rio glad to see his dad back 🐕- makes a crappy travel day much better. He’s a great doggy. Try to concentrate on the positives. Dont stress on the negative energy. We are all grateful for the vlogs that you do … 😊 . Thank you 🙏 😊
Congratulations on your Award Laura 🎉
I literally just booked my holiday for next year. Staying Atlantic in Los Cris
You must off seen me fuming over whelchire
I don’t remember escalator coming up to exit is that new
Delhi darbar in Santa Cruz is lovely and open til late
It’s not even because it’s a smaller airport because a lot of smaller airport have got them the airport is just a bit stingy 😅
First time ive come across your channel, canny watch. Just a quick one, the Department of Transport have gone back to the original Liquid rules regardless of whether the airport has the new scanners or not. Absolute joke but they have, no reason given
