Jet2holidays to launch new Express Transfers service in December

One of the UK's leading tour operators, Jet2holidays^*, has announced details of Express Transfers^*, which will launch in December 2022.

This brand-new service will ensure that holidaymakers entitled to the service will be dropped off first, second or third during their transfer from the airport to their hotel.

It also guarantees that they will be one of the last pick-ups on their return to the airport at the end of their holiday.

The service will be included as standard when holidaymakers book a hotel featuring the service. Those with existing bookings to properties featuring the service will automatically receive an Express Transfer unless they have already booked a private transfer.

Express Transfers will initially be available at around 80 hotels in destinations such as the Canary Islands, the Balearics, Turkey, Croatia, Greece, Portugal, Madeira, Bulgaria and Cyprus, with more to follow.

Head of Product at Jet2holidays, Zoe Towers, said: "We know that customers love our award-winning holidays, but everyone knows that feeling of watching other holidaymakers get off the coach to kick off their long-awaited holidays.

"The launch of Express Transfers takes that feeling away, meaning Jet2holidays customers can be off the coach and into the pool in no time, and there's no better way to start a holiday than that."
