Travel identification
What identification do I need to travel?
For travel on a Jet2.com service you must arrive on time with your booking reference and must present valid documentation, matching the names on your reservation, for travel for all flights, including UK domestic flights. In order to ensure compliance with the Borders and Immigration Agency Jet2.com passengers are required to travel with a valid passport, and any necessary visas where required, on all international flights. Please note that if your passport or photographic ID is damaged it may not be accepted.
The Czech Republic requires passengers' passports must be in date for at least 90 days to be permitted to travel to the Czech Republic.
EU visitors to Budapest do not require a visa but their passport must be valid for the period of their visit.
It is your responsibility to ensure that you have all the necessary valid and undamaged documentation including visas to meet the immigration authorities’ requirements of your destination country. As Jet2.com is strictly a point to point airline this means that, even if the destination country of your Jet2.com flight permits you to transit without a visa, you will have to pass through Immigration of that country and will therefore need the appropriate visa. Jet2.com will not be liable for any consequences of your failure to arrive without the correct documentation and any fines, penalties or other expenditures incurred shall be paid by or charged to you.
The Foreign and Commonwealth website is a useful source for travel information.

We will also permit an expired UK passport for use on domestic flights for up to two years after expiry.
A child travelling with an adult on a UK domestic flight does not require additional ID. Unaccompanied young persons aged 14-16 must carry photographic ID on UK domestic flights.
French resident children
Children aged up to 18 who are travelling without an adult must have a "Quittance du Territorie", which is a form of indemnity signed by the police or Mayor of their town. Unaccompanied French resident children will be unable to board without this completed form.
Portuguese nationals and non-Portuguese residents
Children under 18 years and leaving or re-entering Portugal, unaccompanied by their father, mother or legal guardian, need a travel authorisation. This travel authorisation must be:
*Signed by the father, mother or legal guardian; and
*The signature must be notarised if the father, mother or legal guardian reside in Portugal; or
*The signature must be authenticated by a Portuguese embassy or consulate in the country where the father, mother or legal guardian reside.
This travel authorisation is also required when a person other than their father, mother or legal guardian accompanies minors. In such cases the travel authorisation must also clearly show the name of the accompanying person.
Non-Portuguese resident minors under 18 years and travelling alone may be refused entry if they do not have anyone in Portugal taking responsibility for their stay.

UK Government Requirements
From March 2009, as part of measures to ensure aviation safety and security Jet2.com is legally required to provide the UK Home Office with passport data for all passengers departing from and arriving into the UK. You are therefore required to provide Jet2.com with accurate passport data. You may provide this data anytime between the time of your booking and 5 hours before departure. Failure to provide accurate data may result in you being denied boarding.
You may enter the data via manage my booking on the Jet2.com website or via the call centre when making a new booking

Spanish Government Requirements
As part of measures to ensure aviation safety and security, the Spanish Government required all airlines to provide compulsory information on passengers departing the UK for Spain. This information includes full given name, nationality, date of birth and passport number.
Jet2.com comply with the request for API (advance passenger information). Passengers using our online check-in facility will be able to provide their data at the "fast bag-drop", if they have baggage to check-in, or at the departure gate, if they have hand baggage only.
However, it is sensible to remind all our passengers that check in for international flights closes strictly 40 minutes prior to departure, by which time you must have completed the check in process. We continue to strongly recommend that all passengers arrive at the departure airport no later than 1 hour 30 minutes before the scheduled departure time in order to allow sufficient time to complete the check in process and clear Airport Security. If you are planning to travel with excess baggage please allow extra time.
