  • You get some of this (outbound only from UK I think) for free with SIM only contracts on the Three network:

    But you get that if you book flexi anyway.

    You do, but Flexi adds +££ to the flight cost anyway. Flexi could add +£60 each way to a flight. :eek:

    For the £200 a year i get up front seating (+£13.99), speedy boarding (+£0.00) and Fast Track security (+£5.00). So £38.00s worth per return flight.

    Not hard to see how quickly it saves me money.

    Also if you're a frequent flier you get Flight Club membership (but we're not allowed to talk about Flight Club ;) ) so free flight changes.

    Another two things worth doing if you're a Frequent Flier :-
    • Look out for being invited for Easyjet Flight Club membership - free flight changes and a dedicated line to ring to do it. It comes through after a few months by email.
    • Consider paying for a Priority Pass card. This is not an Easyjet thing and costs around £250 a year but gets you in to almost all lounges free. If you did 10 return trips per year then thats working out at £12.50 a visit. 20 return trips per year and you're down to £6.25 a visit. I do approx 45 return trips per year so its totally a no brainer.

    Impossible to say as you give no info about your flying patterns or how you value the perks that come with it. If you're flying with easyJet multiple times per week and shell out for a front row seat every time then it's worth it, if you're flying once a year and don't care where you sit then probably not.

    Thats completely it.

    I travel 45 return trips a year so it plus a Priority Pass lounge card become no brainers.
  • Hi. I am glad you asked here and the advice seems good. Whatever you don't ask on Tripadvisor (Air Travel Forum) they are nasty pieces of work there.

    I fly Easy Jet twice a week (there and back) and for me it's totally worth it. I don;t need hold luggage and I don't need to queue as I get both fast track through security (check your airport) and speedy boarding. These things matter when you are doing this twice a week and don't want to queue. But where it really makes its money for me is that I always book the last flight home on a Friday; if I happen to not need to be there on Friday then I can rock up at the airport and they put me on an earlier flight home for free.

    I'm basically a commuter and its worth its weight in Gold. If you're just going on holiday a couple of times a year it wouldn't be worth it.

    The price of eastJet Plus has increased to £215, with an extra £10 charge for a plastic membership card (as opposed to a virtual card).
