Do you need paper boarding pass with easyJet?

If you're flying from an airport that doesn't currently accept mobile boarding passes, please check in online at www.easyJet.com and print out a paper boarding pass for your flight. Many of these airports require all passengers to complete a document check before going to security.



In 2026, you do not strictly need a paper boarding pass with easyJet, as they have fully embraced a mobile-first digital strategy. The most convenient method is using the easyJet mobile app, which stores your boarding pass as a QR code that can be scanned at security and at the gate. This digital pass even works offline, provided you have downloaded it once while connected to the internet. However, there are a few "High-Fidelity" caveats: if your smartphone has a cracked screen that prevents the scanner from reading the code, or if your battery is dead, you will be in trouble. Additionally, for certain airports (primarily in non-EU locations like Morocco or Turkey), local authorities may still require a printed paper pass for "Visa Check" stamps. If you don't have a smartphone, you can still print your pass at home for free. If you wait until you get to the airport and ask an agent to print it for you, be prepared—unlike some other low-cost carriers, easyJet generally doesn't charge for this yet, but they strongly prefer you to use the app to maintain their high-efficiency boarding process.
