With summer 2024 well underway, many Britons will already be planning ahead for next summer. Getting a holiday sorted can be a laborious and often stressful process, especially when there are little ones involved.
But Britons with young ones can benefit from Jet2's latest initiative as the British carrier announces new Free Child Place holidays in summer 2025.
Free Child Place ages depend on the hotel that is selected as part of the package holiday. The maximum child age can be found on the accommodation page on the Jet2holidays website.
Jet2 said: "As families look to book their holidays in the sunshine, Jet2holidays, the UK’s largest tour operator, has added a Free Child Place holiday onto every flight for Summer 25 – meaning there are millions of Free Child Place holidays available across this summer and next summer.
"These new additions come on top of millions of Free Child Place Holidays that are already available and mean that Jet2holidays now has more Free Child Place holidays available than ever before.

"They are available from across all of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays’ UK airports, including the company’s newest base – Bournemouth Airport – which launches in February 2025."
On Jet2holidays' official Free Child Place Finder, the package holiday provider said: "When two full-paying passengers book a room, one child can holiday for no extra cost - they can fly, pack their favourite toys, enjoy return hotel transfers, stay and play for free!"
According to Jet2holidays, it's as simple as filling out your search preferences using the search tool, picking a date that suits you, choosing your hotel and booking.
Jet2 said: "To meet this demand, the award-winning tour operator has over 18.2 million seats on sale for Summer 25 to sun and leisure city destinations across Europe, the Mediterranean and Canary Islands.
"This represents the company’s biggest ever summer programme and comes on the back of a bumper Summer 24 programme with over 17.1 million seats available.
"Destinations enjoying popularity with families include the Canaries, Balearics, Mainland Spain, Turkey, Greece, Cyprus, Portugal, Italy, Malta, Croatia and Bulgaria."
In other Jet2 news, the airline recently announced new flights to Spain holiday hotspots as its latest UK base launches sooner than expected.
Speaking about the added Free Child Place holidays, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, Steve Heapy, said: "Families are flocking to book their place in the sunshine, so we are making it even easier for them by adding even more Free Child Place holidays in Summer 25, meaning we have millions available across Summer 24 and Summer 25.
"As an award-winning tour operator and a Which? Recommended Provider for family holidays, we are always doing what we can to make it an even better family holiday experience and we know this announcement will be a huge boost.
"Contrary to popular belief, there is not an endless amount of capacity on sale and with so many people flocking to book their well-deserved holidays, our advice is to act now before they are gone."
