Credit card security online

Using your credit card to make purchases via our web site is a secure way to pay for your flights- as safe as booking through our telephone reservations centre. Many millions of seats have been booked successfully online with easyJet.

We have put a number of security steps in place to give you, the customer, total confidence when purchasing your easyJet flights through the Internet:

1. All sensitive information, including personal details as well as credit card information, is kept confidential through encryption (we use the 128-bit secure sockets layer, or SSL, standard). This means that information can only be exchanged between you and easyJet, and that no third party can access this data. A padlock symbol is usually displayed by your browser to show when a page is covered by this security system.

2. All historical information regarding credit card, name, and address details is held on a secure computer. We do not retain live records of customer personal details or credit card information on our web servers after the transaction has been completed.

For additional protection, we ask for your card’s security code at the point of payment. For most cards, including Visa and Mastercard, the code is the last three digits printed on the signature strip on the back of the card. For American Express, the code is the four digits printed on the front of the card above the main card number.
