Why Are easyJet Flights Non-Refundable?

easyJet is well-known for offering cheap flights to holiday destinations all over Europe and beyond - in fact, they reportedly fly to over 900 routes across more than 30 countries. Did you know they were named the Best Short-Haul Airline at the 2023 Business Travel Awards Europe? Their prices continue to drop and their deals seem too good to be true to keep up with the demand for budget travel.

Cheap flights mean their profit margins are smaller, which means they have to ensure they don't lose out on money if someone cancels last minute. They are trying to combat criticism about the strict rules for flight reservations by inviting their most frequent flyers to become part of the easyJet Flight Club, where they can get benefits you wouldn't usually get when booking a flight. One important benefit is that Flight Club members can make changes to their flights without the usual associated fees. However, other flyers will still need to pay fees for name and flight changes.
