“Since developing Worldwide by easyJet, we have been able to open new global destinations to airlines around the world. Our virtual interline technology enables partnerships between airlines and connects travellers with a seamless, quick, and easy transfer through one of many connection hubs across Europe and beyond.

Worldwide by easyJet was the first global airline connections service by a European low-fares airline andoffers self-connections through a digital, virtual hub - simply and efficiently.
Worldwide launched in September 2017, enabling customers to connect easyJet flights through London Gatwick to long haul flights, with launch airline partners WestJet and Norwegian and has been consistently growing, with more than 5,000 unique origins and destinations booked in combination with partner airlines.
Since then the airline has expanded the service to offer connections through many of Europe’s major airports across its shorthaul network including, Venice Marco Polo, Amsterdam Schiphol, Paris Charles De Gaulle, Orly, and Edinburgh. meaning that by 2020, combined with the connections already announced through London Gatwick and Milan Malpensa, over half of the airline's flights were able to connect to airline partner services and other easyJet flights in a single booking through easyJet's digital booking portal.
Worldwide by easyJet does not impact easyJet's punctuality, asset utilisation, or operating model. The airline does not hold flights for connecting passengers. Worldwide by easyJet is subject to up to a 2 hour and 30 minute 'Minimum Connection Time,' affording customers ample time to transfer between flights and terminals. Should a passenger miss a connecting flight, Worldwide by easyJet will transfer them to the next available flight.
