WHEN Hold My Hand by Jess Glynne – Jet2holidays’ inflight tune – starts playing, it’s a moment that makes Georgia Williams and daughter Phoebe’s hearts sing, because it means they’re off on another fun family break.
“The holiday hasn’t started until we’ve heard Jess Glynne,” laughs Georgia, 38, from Huddersfield.

MY SUN-KISSED SECOND WEDDING
How Jet2holidays helped us combine a bargain break with a chance to renew our vows
“I didn’t step on a plane until I was 18 – I’m one of five kids and our parents could never afford to take us abroad.
“But now I love my holidays – after working hard, running my own B2B marketing business, they’re what I look forward to.
“And I’m proud to be able to give Phoebe the gift of travel – she’s only eight but she’s visited a lot of places.”
Georgia’s husband Craig, 37, who works in insurance, leaves the booking to her as she always bags a bargain – and that’s because she goes straight to holiday saving experts Jet2holidays.
“I always book all-inclusive – there’s no faffing around,” Georgia says.
“I put down our £60 per person deposit* and use the Pay Monthly service** to break the payments down into instalments.
“It’s become a holiday tradition that on the plane I treat myself to a bottle of my favourite upmarket body oil from the tax-free Jet2shop. Jet2holidays always have a brilliant offer on it.”

“Jet2holidays are great because, as a freelancer with a monthly income that varies, I can pay extra in my good months.
“I appreciate that flexibility.”
And there’s another reason Georgia is loyal to the company.
She knows that Jet2holidays will be there whatever happens, as you’d expect from the Which? Travel Brand of the Year 2024.
“Once, when we were coming back from a holiday in Corfu, there were some issues affecting everyone at the airport.
“We thanked our lucky stars we were with Jet2 – unlike what happened with some other travellers, our Jet2 customer helper took complete care of us.
“I felt safe and looked after, and thanks to the Jet2holidays 24/7 WhatsApp number, I could get answers quickly.
“They totally saved the day and now I won’t travel with anyone else. I’m 100 per cent loyal.”
Georgia isn’t kidding. She’s now been on six Jet2holidays, taking advantage of the generous 22kg baggage inclusion plus 10kg hand luggage, free child places*** that are even available in school holidays, comfortable airport transfers^ and award-winning customer service.
Last May, Georgia, Craig and Phoebe spent a very special all-inclusive week in the three-star-plus Christofinia Hotel near Ayia Napa in Cyprus.
Georgia had booked the trip six months earlier and got a great price.
“Craig and I married in Cyprus in May 2014, so we went to celebrate our tenth wedding anniversary there.
“And because we’d saved on the holiday, we decided to splash out and renew our vows while we were there.
“At the start of the ceremony, which we’d booked a local photographer for, Craig surprised me with an eternity ring that had a citrine gemstone.
“Phoebe showered us with rose petals as we recited our vows, then we went to the hotel where we held our wedding ten years ago.
“It was a perfect day. I loved my dress – a Vinted bargain that I paid a seamstress to embroider with flowers.
“In the evening we went to an Italian restaurant for dinner – I don’t drink, so meals out are my treat.
“Often on an all-inclusive holiday you feel you can’t go out to eat as you’ve prepaid for dinner in the resort where you’re staying.
“But when you book with Jet2holidays, there’s none of that guilt – I know I’ve got the best deal on my holiday so I can afford extra treats.”

And it’s not just family breaks that Georgia enjoys – she goes on trips with her friends too.
“I need one girls’ holiday a year to stay sane – normally in November for a bit of sun,” she smiles.
“The girls and I went with Jet2holidays on a fantastic break to the Paradis Plage resort near Agadir in Morocco.
“It was so laidback with upmarket retreat vibes.
“And as the holiday was a great deal, I could afford to buy one of the resort’s yoga packages with sunrise and sunset sessions – bliss!
“Taking time for myself gives me mental clarity. It recharges me for winter.”
Of course, Georgia has already booked this year’s getaways – two to Cyprus and one to Lanzarote, her first trip to the Canary island.
Until then, she can pretend she’s on holiday wearing the Jet2.com shades that Phoebe was given on a holiday flight.
“I nicked them off her so I can live the Jet2holidays dream even on a rainy day in my garden!” Georgia jokes.
“We give Phoebe her own treats fund – €30 to buy souvenirs. She’s good with her money and makes careful decisions about which bracelets and fridge magnets to buy.”
“Waterparks! Phoebe is a daredevil and relishes the big rides. I’m grateful to Jet2holidays that we have extra money for treats like waterparks. If you can’t get spoiled on holiday, when can you?”
