If you are flying with Jet2 and want to make your airport experience as smooth as possible, having your boarding pass ready is essential. Many passengers prefer to use the Jet2 mobile app to check in and store their boarding pass digitally. However, some people still prefer a printed version just in case the phone battery dies or airport scanners fail to read the screen.
Printing your Jet2 boarding pass from the app is simple once you know where to find the option. In this guide we explain how to view your boarding pass in the app and how to print it at home or elsewhere.
Using the Jet2 App to Check In
First, download the official Jet2 app from the App Store or Google Play if you have not already. Log in using the email address you used to book your flight or enter your booking reference manually.
Once logged in, select your upcoming trip. You will see the option to check in online, which is usually available from 28 days up to 5 hours before departure for most flights. Once check-in is complete, your boarding pass will be generated and available directly in the app.
Where to Find Your Boarding Pass in the App
After checking in, go back to your flight details in the app. You will see a button or tab that says ‘Boarding Pass’. Tap this to view your boarding pass on screen. It will show your seat number, flight details and a QR code that airport staff can scan.
To print it, you will need to access the PDF version of your boarding pass. Jet2 currently does not have a direct print button in the app itself, but there is a way to get a printable version by sending the boarding pass to your email.
Sending Your Boarding Pass to Email
When viewing the boarding pass, look for the ‘Email Boarding Pass’ or ‘Send to Email’ option. Tap this and Jet2 will send a PDF version of the boarding pass to the email address linked to your booking. Check your inbox and open the attachment using any standard PDF viewer.
You can now print the boarding pass at home using your own printer. Simply open the file and select ‘Print’ from the menu. Make sure you print in good quality and check that the barcode is clear and not cut off at the edges.
Printing at the Airport or Elsewhere
If you do not have access to a printer at home, you can print your Jet2 boarding pass at an airport kiosk. Most Jet2 check-in areas have self-service machines where you can enter your booking reference and print your pass free of charge.
You can also forward the emailed boarding pass to a friend or use a print service at work, a library or a local print shop. Be sure to carry the pass in a safe place and keep it flat so the scanner can read it easily at the gate.
Why Print a Boarding Pass When You Have the App
While the digital boarding pass on the app is usually accepted at most Jet2 airports, there are a few reasons you might prefer a printed copy. Some travellers feel more secure with a physical pass, especially if their phone is older, low on battery or prone to crashing.
Also, certain airports or passport control desks may ask to see a printed copy for inspection. While this is rare, it is still a possibility. Having both a digital and printed version of your Jet2 boarding pass gives you peace of mind during your journey.
Final Thoughts
To print your Jet2 boarding pass from the app, simply check in through the app, then send your boarding pass to your email. From there, open the PDF on any device and print it using a home printer or another print service. Whether you choose to fly with a phone or paper in hand, you will be ready for a smooth departure.
