“We’re delighted that from today we’re one of the first European airlines to introduce Apple Pay. Gone are the days of scrambling around searching for a bank card to book a flight. Checking out on our app is as easy as selecting Apple Pay and placing your finger on Touch ID. Booking flights or adding extras has never been so easy!” – James Millett, easyJet’s Head of #Digital

Since the launch of easyJet’s iPhone app in 2011 the app has evolved from easy booking and check-in functionality to include features like passport scanning, live flight tracking, mobile boarding passes and Touch ID. It is also complimented by the easyJet Apple Watch app and real-time airport push notifications for go-to-gate and bag reclaim information.

The easyJet app is available for download now from the App Store.
