On my first ever flight with Jet2, aboard one of the hybrid "Jet2 Holidays" livery 757's, GLSAC from Chambery in the French Alps back up to Manchester on Saturday 22nd March 2014!

The flight was 2 hours late arriving in from Manchester due to a baggage system failure in Chambery earlier in the morning, which resulted in lots of congestion and high traffic density at the small airport as a result. The weather in Chambery that day, as you can see at the start wasn't great, heavy rain has created very poor visibility and lots of surface water on the runway & taxiways. But by the time we were onboard and ready to go we were lucky enough to depart in a clear patch of blue skies, so some absolutely stunning views of the scenery in the Alps after departure. Unfortunately due to the rain on the window during the take off my camera isn't focused properly, I did try to get it back but it wasn't having it. Having said that, the rain gives a good impression of the power during take off from Chambery's extremely short runway! Very powerful departure and very quick, steep climb out of the mountains! Quite clear skies enroute, until we began our descent over the midlands. Before departure the captain had warned that we would be dodging some stormy weather on our approach and that we certainly did. Some very impressive cloud structures over the Midlands, huge towering clouds which would have been holding a lot of rain, hailstones and potentially some thunder & lightening. In light of this not all clouds could be avoided (obviously) so there's some fantastic cloud skimming shots and great footage of us passing in and out of heavy rain storms. Some of which caused the aircraft a few shakes. Once through the clouds, Manchester airport was fairly clear, just a gusty 20mph SW wind which caused a few wobbles on approach, but the touch down was effortlessly perfect onto RWY23R.

Despite the 2 hour delay, Jet2 aren't too bad, very roomy 757's, quite modern interior, so yeah. I look forward to my next flight on them, whenever that may be. And of course on a 757, you can't go wrong. One of absolute favourite aircraft of all time.
