With its new “Flight Club,” easyJet hopes to pick up the pace in tackling the corporate market - DR : easyJet
For its 20 year anniversary, the British company easyJet, offered itself a new loyalty program: Flight Club.
In this way, it hopes to reward its frequent travelers, of which the proportion would have gone from 51% to 59% between 2010 and 2015.
The Flight Club members will enjoy several advantages in terms of services, but will not be able to accumulate points to obtain free tickets, contrarily to most programs from other companies.
They will be able to change flights at no extra charge as much as they want and modify, for free, the name of a ticket up to 5 times per year.
If they find a cheaper rate within the 48 hours following their reservation, the company commits to refunding them the difference and offering them 10% off their next trip.
They will also enjoy a customer service devoted to them, special rates, and will be the first informed on new line openings.
