Published 7 May 2026 | Updated 6 October 2026 by Jane Robinson
Based on previous years, Jet2’s next sale windows are the summer-ahead deals from October to December 2026, Black Friday in late November 2026 and the January sale in early January 2027. January is the biggest, with up to £100 off per person on Jet2holidays packages in 2026. All three carry real savings, so if you’re planning summer 2027, watch each one.

Jet2’s real strength is package holidays, not flight-only fares. The best savings tend to land on Jet2holidays bundles, which combine flights, accommodation, and transfers, rather than on seats alone. If you’re looking for a package deal from a regional UK airport, Jet2 is worth watching closely at each of these windows.

“Jet2’s sales reward people who plan their summer before Christmas. The real money comes off package holidays, not flight-only seats, and £100 off per person in January soon adds up when there are four of you travelling. If you already know where you want to be next summer, start watching in October, then use Black Friday and January as your second and third chances.”Kate Acaster, Chief Editor, Flight Tribe

Summer 2027 deals: October to December 2026
Jet2 releases its summer programme further in advance than most airlines. Summer 2026, for example, was announced in September 2024 and promoted with early-booking incentives straight away. Booking this early tends to mean better prices and wider choice.
This means the October to December period before any given summer is effectively a sale window. Jet2 holidays for the following summer are often at their lowest price during this phase, with late availability often costing significantly more. If you know where you want to go in summer 2027, October and November 2026 are worth watching. Black Friday falls in the middle of this window, in late November, with up to 20 per cent off for three to five days. Our Black Friday flight deals tracker records what Jet2holidays offered on the day in 2025.
A separate end-of-summer sale sometimes runs in August or September, targeting unsold inventory on the current year’s programme. This can surface real last-minute value, though choice of destination is more limited.
The Jet2 January sale: early January 2027
January is when Jet2 puts its biggest package holiday discounts on the table, so expect the next one in the first two weeks of January 2027. The 2026 edition took £100 off per person on all holidays, including Jet2holidays, Jet2 city breaks, VIBE holidays and Indulgent Escapes, with a promo code and a booking deadline of 12 January.
It also offered a low deposit of £25 per person for summer bookings, a combination typical of the Jet2 January format. It suits anyone planning a summer trip who doesn’t want to pay the full balance up front.
For UK travellers, the January sale is the strongest buying window for summer package holidays from regional airports. Jet2 now flies from 14 UK bases, after London Gatwick joined in March 2026. They include Manchester, Leeds Bradford, Birmingham, Edinburgh and Belfast, and the sale covers all of them.
How to track Jet2 sales
Jet2 doesn’t send advance notice of sales in the same way that BA’s Executive Club does. The most reliable approach is a combination of the Jet2 email newsletter and direct monitoring of jet2.com/deals. The app sends push notifications for major sales if notifications are enabled, and this tends to be the fastest of the three channels for a short-notice flash deal.
None of these methods guarantee a seat at the advertised price, since the best-value routes on any given sale can sell out within hours of launch. Signing up to more than one channel, rather than relying on a single alert, is the safest way to catch a sale before the strongest deals are gone.

Jet2 flights vs Jet2holidays: which sale is better?
Jet2 runs both a flights business (Jet2.com) and a holiday packages business (Jet2holidays). The two sometimes have different promotions running at the same time. In general, the Jet2holidays sales offer the bigger headline discounts, based on the sale history above, though the actual saving depends on the destination and dates you pick.
If you’re travelling as a couple or family and want accommodation included, Jet2holidays is usually the better starting point during a sale. If you’re flying solo or already have accommodation booked, the Jet2.com flight sale is the relevant one. Both are accessible from the same website, but they operate as separate booking flows.
The 2026 summer programme also included Jet2holidays offering free child places on selected departures. These offers appear periodically and are worth checking for if you’re travelling with children.
Tips for booking a Jet2 sale
| Tip | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Sign up to Jet2 email | Promo codes are often included in the sale announcement email |
| Book in January | Widest choice of resorts and rooms for a summer package holiday |
| Watch Oct to Dec too | Early summer pricing at jet2.com/deals can match or beat January levels |
| Check regional airports | Manchester, Leeds Bradford and Edinburgh often have more availability than London at the same price |
| Read the price carefully | Jet2 discounts are usually stated per person, so the total saving depends on party size |
| Check other carriers too | Our cheap flights guide and Ryanair sale dates guide cover all the major options at the same time |
Once you’ve picked a Jet2 sale: what to sort next
A sale fare only covers the flight or package itself. The bags, seats and cover you add on top can move the total cost as much as the discount does, so it’s worth deciding on these before the sale window closes rather than at the airport.
Cabin baggage catches out a lot of Jet2 sale bookers, since the cheapest fare type includes only a small underseat bag. Checked baggage and seat selection are both worth pricing up at the same time as the flight, while they’re still cheaper than adding them later. Booking each one alongside the sale fare, rather than at the airport, is usually the cheapest route.
| Decision | Why it matters | Where to check |
|---|---|---|
| Cabin bag | Sale fares often include only a small underseat bag | |
| Checked bag | Adding hold luggage after booking usually costs more | |
| Seat selection | Sale prices don’t guarantee seats together | |
| Travel insurance | A sale fare doesn’t cover cancellation or medical costs |
Frequently asked questions
When is the next Jet2 sale?
Based on previous years, Jet2’s next deals window runs from October to December 2026, when it promotes summer 2027 holidays at early-booking prices. After that, expect Black Friday in late November 2026 and the January sale in the first two weeks of January 2027.
Does Jet2 have a January sale?
Yes, Jet2’s January sale is its largest annual event, covering Jet2holidays packages, city breaks, villas and flight-only fares, with up to £100 off per person or percentage savings on selected bookings. Expect the next one in the first two weeks of January 2027; the 2026 edition ran from 1 to 12 January and needed a promo code.
When is the best time to book a Jet2 holiday?
January is the most reliable window for savings, but October to December is also strong for the following summer, when Jet2 promotes its new programme at early-booking prices. Black Friday in late November is the third key moment.
How much can you save in a Jet2 sale?
Savings vary by sale: the January sale has offered up to £100 off per person, or £400 off for a family of four, and other sales typically reach up to 20 per cent. The actual saving depends on the destination, travel dates and package type.
Does Jet2 have a Black Friday sale?
Yes, Jet2 runs a Black Friday promotion in late November, so expect the next one in late November 2026, usually covering Jet2holidays packages and flights at up to 20 per cent off. The window tends to last three to five days, longer than some airlines’ 24-hour events.
What should I book alongside a Jet2 sale fare?
Price up cabin bags, checked bags and seat selection at the time of booking, since adding them later usually costs more. Arrange travel insurance straight away too, as a sale fare doesn’t include cancellation or medical cover.
What is the difference between Jet2 flights and Jet2holidays?
Jet2.com sells flights only, while Jet2holidays bundles flights, accommodation and transfers into one booking on the same website. Package holidays are ATOL-protected, so your money is covered if the company fails, but flight-only bookings from Jet2.com aren’t.
