FAQ

What is the easyJet Flight Club?

easyJet operates a frequent flyer programme named The Flight Club, which runs slightly differently from other similar schemes. Whereas most loyalty programmes allow regular passengers to rack up points or miles by purchasing airfare and shopping with selected partners, the Flight Club is invitation-only. Although it sounds particularly exclusive, the perks are not as glamorous as other airlines' frequent flyer programmes, but that’s not to say they aren’t useful.

In order to qualify for the Flight Club, passengers need to have met one of the following three criteria:

 Flown a minimum of 20 flights within the last year
 Flown a minimum of ten flights, and spent at least £1,500 within the last year
 Flown an average of ten flights each year, for ten years.

Once signed up for the Flight Club, customers can take advantage of the following perks:

 If you find a cheaper fare for the same flight with another airline, easyJet will refund the difference
 If you find an easyJet flight, that is cheaper than the one you just booked, they will refund you the difference in credit against your next flight
 Free name and flight changes
 First pick of seat selection
