If you’ve been on TikTok lately (or anywhere within a five-mile radius of someone who has), you’ve probably heard it. That voice. That beat. That cursed yet undeniably catchy little phrase:

“Nothing beats a Jet2 holiday.”

‍

‍

It starts innocently enough—just a chipper jingle trying to sell you a budget flight to Benidorm. But by the third time it shows up on your FYP, something inside you shifts. You’re not sure when it happened, but somewhere between breakfast and your third doomscroll of the day, the song lodged itself deep into your brain. Permanently.

You are now one of us. A Jet2 survivor.

Welcome Aboard Flight 2025 to Madness

Let’s be honest, Jet2 probably just wanted a simple, happy-go-lucky tune to remind Brits that they can escape their rainy hometown for a cheap sunburn in Spain. Cute, right?

But the internet doesn’t do cute. The internet takes cute and turns it into a living meme factory running 24/7.

‍

‍

TikTokers wasted no time. The jingle became the perfect soundtrack for:

• Miserable airport experiences
• Lost luggage sob stories
• Hotel room horror reveals
• And of course, parents breaking down in Marbella because their toddler just projectile-vomited in the pool bar

‍

And somehow, with every ironic use, the song got stronger. Like a cursed artifact that feeds on sarcasm.

‍

It’s Not a Song. It’s a Lifestyle.

People are now remixing it into every genre imaginable. There’s a lofi version, a heavy metal version, a Gregorian chant and one particularly unholy trap remix that plays in the background of a man slowly losing his sanity in a Ryanair boarding queue.

‍

The phrase “Nothing beats a Jet2 holiday” has reached meme status on par with “It’s corn” and “I ain’t never seen two pretty best friends.” You can’t escape it. And you probably don’t want to anymore.

‍

Jet2, seeing the chaos they’ve created, decided to throw gasoline on the fire by launching a £1,000 remix competition. Yes, they are actively encouraging people to make it weirder. You can win money for your ability to creatively lose your mind to a travel ad. This is the economy we live in now.

The Jingle Hits Hardest When Everything Goes Wrong

‍

Some of the most viral TikToks using the jingle are people documenting their actual Jet2 travel nightmares:

• One guy filmed his delayed flight, lost passport, and melted Toblerone—all to the beat of the jingle.
• Another traveler added the jingle over a hotel room that had one working lightbulb and a shower that screamed like a goat.
• A third just stared blankly into the camera on the tarmac, whispering “nothing beats a Jet2 holiday” while the plane’s wheel was literally being duct-taped.

‍

It’s giving trauma. It’s giving comedy. It’s giving corporate earworm meets emotional breakdown.

‍

This jingle isn’t just a song. It’s a character arc. First you laugh at it. Then you resent it. Then you sing it ironically. Then, one day, you’re in a Tesco parking lot humming it out loud and you don’t even notice.

‍

And that’s how they win.

‍

‍

We live in a world where a budget airline ad has become the song of the summer. And whether you love it, hate it, or need a frontal lobotomy to get it out of your head—Jet2’s marketing team is sitting somewhere in an air-conditioned office, sipping lukewarm tea and thriving.

‍

So go ahead. Book the trip. Get the sunburn. Lose your luggage. Just make sure you pack your sense of humor—because if nothing beats a Jet2 holiday, you might as well beat yourself to the punch and laugh about it first.
