Can I add priority boarding after booking in easyJet?

Priority boarding can be added to an easyJet flight by adding a seat reservation in the add-ons section of the flight check-out.



Yes, you can add priority boarding to your easyJet booking after you’ve made it, but there are some important conditions and steps to follow.

Key Conditions & Limitations:

  1. Before Online Check-In Opens: This is the most straightforward time to add it. You can do it by managing your booking on the easyJet website or mobile app.
  2. After Online Check-In Opens (But Before the Gate): You can usually still add it, but you must first cancel your existing check-in (including any seat selection if you chose one). After adding priority, you will need to check in again. This can sometimes be done online or may require assistance at the airport.
  3. At the Airport: You can typically purchase priority boarding at the easyJet bag drop desk or at the gate subject to availability. It’s more expensive and not guaranteed, as there is a limited allocation per flight.

How to Add It After Booking:

The Best Method: Via Manage Bookings 1. Go to the easyJet website or app and log in. 2. Find your booking under “Manage Bookings” using your booking reference and last name. 3.

Follow the prompts to pay for it (usually around £7-£13 per person, per flight segment, depending on the route and demand).

If You’ve Already Checked In: 1. Go to “Manage Bookings”. 2. You will need to cancel your current
