EasyJet is dangling half-price Plus membership in front of British Airways Club members — and it’s one of the better low-cost hacks available right now.**
Normally £249 per year, the first 12 months drop to £124 for anyone holding BA Bronze, Silver, or Gold status. The offer, launched in mid-March 2026, requires emailing proof of your BA Club card to pluscardoffers@easyjet.com by 31 March 2026. A promo code follows. Similar deals have extended to Flying Blue Silver and Gold in the past, so check your status.[[1]](https://www.headforpoints.com/2026/03/18/easyjet-offers-british-airways-elite-members-a-special-deal/)[[2]](https://www.easyjet.com/en/news/story/easyjet-offering-50-off-easyjet-plus-membership-for-british-airways-gold)
For frequent European short-haul travellers, this changes the math on easyJet. You get dedicated bag drop, Speedy Boarding, a guaranteed large cabin bag (56x45x25cm), free seat selection anywhere on the plane — including front row and extra legroom — plus fast track security at dozens of airports. Add 10% off onboard food and drink, and the option to hop an earlier same-day return flight when available.[[2]](https://www.easyjet.com/en/news/story/easyjet-offering-50-off-easyjet-plus-membership-for-british-airways-gold)
The Real Value: When It Pays
EasyJet’s own calculator claims up to £357 in annual “savings” for someone flying six one-way sectors: £174 on the bag, £135 on seats, £48 on fast track. Even if those numbers feel optimistic, the convenience is real. No more £30–£50 add-ons per leg for decent space and overhead room.[[3]](https://plus.easyjet.com/)
Compare that to the competition. Ryanair’s Priority & 2 Cabin Bags gives you boarding and bags but charges for seat selection and lacks the consistent fast track or free rebooking flexibility. Wizz Priority is cheaper per flight but stingier on enforcement and network reach. EasyJet Plus wins for anyone who values predictable comfort over the absolute cheapest base fare.[[4]](https://thepointsguy.com/airline/comparing-european-low-cost-carriers/)
easyJet’s network makes this especially potent. Hundreds of routes across Europe, with high frequency on core city pairs — London to Amsterdam, Paris, Geneva, Nice, Barcelona, and beyond. Summer 2026 additions keep expanding leisure and business-adjacent destinations. If your travel involves repeated hops between major European hubs or second cities, the membership pays for itself faster than BA’s own domestic shorthaul experience.[[5]](https://www.flightofficeworld.com/blog/where-does-easyjet-fly/)
The Catch (There’s Always One)
Benefits apply only to the cardholder. Travelling with family or colleagues? You’ll still pay for their seats and bags. Unlike BA status, no companion perks. It’s a solo operator’s tool, not a group solution.
At full price the £249 fee feels like a cash grab. At £124 it becomes an experiment worth running — especially if you already fly easyJet a handful of times per year and hate the cattle call.
Points optimisers should note these benefits cannot be manufactured with Avios, miles, or credit card tricks. You either pay the (discounted) membership or you don’t. That scarcity adds appeal.
Who Should Pull the Trigger
If you hold BA status and fly easyJet at least four to six times a year, buy it. The combination of legroom, boarding position, and bag allowance turns a low-cost flight into something almost civilised. Even BA Silver and Gold holders frustrated with recent programme changes might find this a useful pressure valve for intra-Europe travel.
Everyone else: run the numbers on your typical itinerary. The half-price window won’t last forever.
Action item: If you qualify, email pluscardoffers@easyjet.com with a photo of your BA Club card before 31 March 2026. Get the code, lock in the £124 rate, and test it on your next few European trips. Worst case you save money for one year. Best case you discover your new default for everything from Milan fashion week to Greek island escapes.
