At the independent travel agent conference, the package operator has announced a new and exclusive service guaranteeing customers to be the first, second, or third drop-off upon their arrival transfer at the start of their holidays.
Aiming to give customers the best start to their holiday by bringing them to their accommodation faster, the new service also means customers will be one of the final three pick-ups upon departure to the airport.
The service was announced by Zoe Towers, head of product at Jet2holidays, at the company's annual VIP conference for independent agents, taking place at the 3HB Guarana in Portugal this week.
Express Transfers is set to launch in the next few weeks, and will be included as standard when booking properties featuring the service.
Customers with existing bookings will automatically receive Express Transfers, unless private transfers have been booked.
The service will be rolled out in around 80 destinations including the Canaries, Balearics, Turkey, Croatia, Greece, Portugal, Madeira, Bulgaria and Cyprus, before further expansions.
Speaking to agents, Tower said: “The demand for holidays remains very strong, but some customers are undoubtedly feeling price-conscious in this economic climate. As travel experts, it is therefore up to us to help our customers find that all-important value when they are booking their holidays. The launch of Express Transfers does this and more, as not only is it a fantastic way to kick off or end a holiday by speeding the transfer up, but it also offers a better value alternative to a private transfer.
“The launch of Express Transfers is a win-win for independent travel agents when selling to customers, as it finds that perfect sweet spot between providing brilliant customer experience and offering superb value. It means Jet2holidays customers can be off the coach and into the pool in no time, and there’s no better way to start a holiday than that. We expect it to be enormously popular and as with anything that we know that our customers love, we will be looking to expand it even further.”
