The best way to add baggage and seats for Jet2 flights is during your holiday booking journey on our website, if they’re available to book. This is where you can pick your seat numbers and make sure you have enough baggage booked.
How do I add baggage and pre book seats with Jet2?

If you’ve already booked and want to add these, you still can. You'll need to log on to the Jet2 website and pay them directly. We've added a link above and below to take you there but you might find it useful to read these instructions first. And, just so you know, any flight extras you add directly with Jet2 won’t show on your Thomas Cook invoice.
Make sure you have the following handy, as you can't access your booking without it!
- Your flight reference. This is not your Thomas Cook booking reference! You’ll find it in the Flights section of your Thomas Cook invoice / confirmation, labelled either ‘Airline reference’ or ‘Flight booking number’ (depending on when you booked your holiday), as in these examples:
Or:
- Lead passenger surname
- Your payment card details
Once you’ve clicked through to Jet2, go to 'Manage My Booking'.
Make sure you're in the 'Manage My Booking' tab.
In the box named 'booking reference', add in your airline reference (as above), your surname and your departure date from the UK/NI.
Once you’ve logged in, you can choose and pay for any extra baggage, pre-booked seating or in-flight meals, using the ‘Travel Essentials’ tab (shown below). Remember, you’ll pay Jet2 directly for any changes you make here.
