Jet2 lets you check in 2 child items (pushchair, pram or buggy, car seat, booster seat, baby carrier, travel cot) and push the pushchair to the aircraft steps. But you still carry everything through two airports with a baby in your arms, and in Heraklion the pushchair comes back on the baggage belt. With Holiday Stork your gear is waiting in the arrivals hall at Heraklion Airport.
Jet2 flies to Heraklion (HER) from 13 UK airports on a seasonal schedule, as flight-only or Jet2holidays packages. Each child can check in two items of baby equipment free, such as a pushchair, car seat, baby carrier or travel cot, and the pushchair can be used up to the aircraft steps or air bridge.
A collapsible pushchair, pram or buggy is one of the two free equipment items per child. You can keep it until the aircraft steps or air bridge, where it is loaded into the hold, and you collect it at baggage reclaim on arrival. A compact pushchair that fits the hand baggage size may go in the overhead locker if there is space, but it cannot be used during the flight.
A car seat or booster seat can be one of the free items and travels in the hold. To use a car seat on board, you must buy a seat for the infant on a Jet2.com flight; it must be a European standard seat approved for air travel, fitted with the lap belt only, no wider than 42 cm, and placed in a window seat where possible. Jet2 can refuse a car seat on board, and Jet2holidays packages do not give infants their own seat.
A travel cot is one of the free equipment items and is checked into the hold. If your child already has two items, such as a pushchair and a car seat, the cot counts as extra baggage.
A high chair is not on the list of free child equipment, so it travels as standard extra hold baggage.
Your stroller, car seat and travel cot, cleaned, checked and waiting for you in the arrivals hall at Heraklion Airport.
Every step of a return trip on Jet2 with a pushchair, a car seat and a travel cot.

Pack clothes, nappies and toys. Nothing bulky.
Push the baby, pull the cases and carry the car seat and cot across the car park.
Walk in with your suitcases and your baby.
Queue at the check-in or bag drop desk to check in the car seat and cot as child items.
Nothing extra to check in.
Lift your baby out, fold the pushchair and heave it onto the belt while the queue waits.
Your hands stay free for your baby.
Leave the pushchair at the aircraft steps and carry your baby and bags on board.
