 Philip Meeson, boss of Jet2.com said: "We always listen to passenger feedback and the privileges we are now offering our customers shows our ongoing commitment to be the friendliest airline while retaining the best low fares.

"We always aim to give our passengers the most enjoyable experience on board and by beating the queues within the airport by checking-in from home, we expect our customers to find the whole process even more relaxing and stress-free."

 Priority boarding and free online check-in are just the latest additions to a string of extra services launched by Jet2.com in recent months which also includes gift vouchers, hot meals on board and the launch of myJet2, the new loyalty scheme which will reward customers with points on every flight booked which can be redeemed against future bookings.
