Jet2 has been named as British holidaymakers’ favourite short-haul airline, as well as the best for economy travel. Meanwhile, its sister firm Jet2holidays scooped up a selection of awards for its holiday offering, from luxury breaks to family-friendly getaways. The Leeds-based travel providers took home an impressive 11 gold awards at the 2023 British Travel Awards, with votes commending them on their website, European holiday offering and its array of sunshine hotspots throughout the year.

The awards were determined by a record 1.56 million public votes, giving customers the chance to award firms who helped to make their 2023 leisure travel experiences. As part of the awards, Jet2 took home the gold for best economy class travel, best short-haul flights and best website for flight bookings. And its purse-friendly prices were recognised, with Jet2 coming in second place for the best airline for low cost. It was easyJet who scored gold in this category.
