Mobile flight bookings by Apple Pay are being made available by easyJet via its iOS app.

The one-touch payment method is being offered to users of the iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone SE, iPad Pro, iPad Air 2, iPad mini 4 and iPad mini 3.

Bookings will be processed in “a matter of seconds” thanks to Apple Pay’s secure quick payment system, according to the budget airline.

This allows users to select the card of their choice and authorise a secure payment via fingerprint recognition on their device.

EasyJet head of digital James Millett said: “We’re delighted that from today we’re one of the first European airlines to introduce Apple Pay.

“Gone are the days of scrambling around searching for a bank card to book a flight. Checking out on our app is as easy as selecting Apple Pay and placing your finger on Touch ID. Booking flights or adding extras has never been so easy.”
