easyJet, Europe’s leading airline, has launched 'Mobile Mondays' which offers customers the chance of winning the total cost of their flight booking back when paying for their easyJet booking on any Monday between 27 June and 1 September in easyJet’s iOS app using Apple Pay.
In order to qualify the booking must be a new booking. One winner per week will be selected at random, contacted and issued with a refund of their flight cost. There is no limit to the amount that can be refunded*.
Earlier this month easyJet announced that it became one of the first European airlines to introduce Apple Pay with customers able to use Apple Pay to make bookings via the iOS app.
Using Apple Pay customers booking flights through the airline's industry-leading app on iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus and iPhone SE, will be able to process their booking in just a matter of seconds thanks to Apple Pay's secure quick one-touch payment function. This allows users to select the card of their choice and authorise a secure payment via fingerprint recognition on their device.
James Millett, easyJet’s Head of Digital, said:
“We’re delighted to launch Mobile Mondays and hope that our passengers will take the opportunity to use Apple Pay for their flight booking in the hope that they will be one of the lucky winners. 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!”
Since the launch of easyJet’s iPhone app in 2011 the innovative app has evolved from easy booking and check-in functionality to include popular 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.
Online shopping in apps accepting Apple Pay is as simple as the touch of a finger with Touch ID, so there’s no need to manually fill out lengthy account forms or repeatedly type in shipping and billing information. When paying for goods and services within apps, Apple Pay is compatible with iPhone SE, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Air 2, iPad mini 3, iPad mini 4 and iPad Pro.
Security and privacy is at the core of Apple Pay. When you use a credit or debit card with Apple Pay, the actual card numbers are not stored on the device, nor on Apple servers. Instead, a unique Device Account Number is assigned, encrypted and securely stored in the Secure Element on your device. Each transaction is authorised with a one-time unique dynamic security code.
The easyJet app is available for download now from the App Store.
