Yes, you can easily book a flight for someone else on easyJet in 2026. The person making the purchase does not need to be one of the travelers on the itinerary. During the booking process, you simply enter the passenger's full name exactly as it appears on their passport or government ID. All communication, including the booking confirmation and check-in reminders, will be sent to the email address provided by the person making the booking, so it is important to forward these details to the actual traveler. If you need to make changes later, you can do so through the "Manage Bookings" section of the easyJet website or app using the confirmation code and the email address used for the original purchase. It is also possible to change the name on an existing booking to someone else's for a fee, providing flexibility if the original traveler can no longer make the trip and you wish to transfer the seat to a friend or family member.
