European budget airline EasyJet introduced mobile check-in and boarding passes on its easyJet app earlier this year. At the time, this feature was only available for flights departing from Amsterdam, Edinburgh, Manchester, Nice, Southend and Stansted. Today, the company announced expanding mobile check-in and boarding passes to flights departing from 38 airports across Europe.
The full list of airports supported includes Alicante, Amsterdam, Athens, Basel, Berlin Schoenefeld, Biarritz, Bologna, Budapest, Cologne/Bonn, Copenhagen, Corfu, Dubrovnik, Edinburgh, Geneva, Gibraltar, Glasgow, Jersey, Lille, London Luton, London Southend, London Stansted, Lyon, Madrid, Manchester, Majorca, Milan Malpensa, Newcastle, Newquay, Nice, Paris Charles de Gaulle, Paris Orly, Prague, Rome Fiumicino, Split, Tallinn, Thessaloniki, Toulouse and Venice.
The app simplifies the boarding process for EasyJet customers who own Android and iOS devices, by allowing them to check-in on mobile or PC, then downloading the boarding pass to the mobile, without needing a printed version. Travelers don’t need to have an easyJet account. For those travelling light, the mobile boarding pass is enough to show at the gate.
Once downloaded, the boarding passes are stored offline on the smartphone’s memory, thus eliminating roaming charges, or need for a network or internet connection.
In addition, flights departing from Manchester, Palma de Majorca, Paris Charles De Gaulle, Edinburgh, Nice and London Southend support multiple boarding passes per flight (up to 5 passengers travelling as a family or group can access all their boarding passes on 1 device.)
