Jet2.com and Jet2holidays were the big winners at the first Travel Weekly Globe Travel Awards since 2020, scooping four awards at the glittering ceremony.

The Globes took place in front of more than 1,200 guest at London’s Grosvenor House Hotel on Park Lane, with a star-studded line-up entertaining the audience before the awards were presented.

Renowned mezzo-soprano Katherine Jenkins opened the show in partnership with Imagine Cruising and Imagine Holidays, while comedian Tom Allen joined Virgin Atlantic and soul singer Heather Small had the crowd on their feet in association with Royal Caribbean International.

Awards were based on tens of thousands of votes from frontline travel agents, who recognised the suppliers who had done the most to support them during the devastating Covid-19 pandemic. They were hosted by TV and radio presenter Rylan Clark, alongside Travel Weekly editor-in-chief Lucy Huxley.

Jet2.com picked up the Best Short-Haul Airline award, while sister operator Jet2holidays was named Best Short-Haul Operator and Best Trade-Friendly Brand, before collecting the coveted Trade Sales Team of the Year honour.

Other multiple award winners were Wendy Wu Tours, which was named Best Premium Touring Company and Best Long-Haul Specialist Operator; and Emirates, which picked up the Best Long-Haul Airline and Best Premium Airline Service awards.
