‘What’s the Spanish for ‘It’s coming home?’ and ‘You know the Spanish players well, how do England beat Spain?’ are just some of the questions holidaymakers have been asking Jet2 staff ahead of Sunday’s Euro 2024 final.
Jet2 said it had even been asked by customers if it could move their flight so they can watch the match between England and Spain, which kicks off at 9pm in Germany (8pm BST).
The airline and operator said its resort-based staff in mainland Spain, the Balearics and the Canaries have received ‘a rush of enquires’, while staff in its UK contact centre have also been fielding questions about the match.
Among the most common are:
A Jet2 spokesperson added: “With many thousands of our customers in Spain for the final, they have a box office seat to enjoy the match and soak up the atmosphere in the Spanish sunshine.
“Our teams have seen a real surge in interest from excited customers and, as always, they are getting into the spirit of it by delivering our award-winning service to help customers.
“Of course, we do not expect our teams to be experts in world football, but they are doing a fantastic job assisting our customers with everything from Spanish football knowledge to helpful translations ahead of the match.”
