New Loyalty Scheme for Flybe.

Flybe has announced details of its new frequent flyer programme that now sees all travellers eligible for membership benefits. Called the Rewards4all scheme, it will be able to exchange points for either free flights or one year's executive lounge access in what the carrier claims is a low cost industry first.

Rewards4all replaces Flybe's previous Economy Plus FFP and the carrier is keen to emphasise that it now offers a full package for business and leisure travellers, with even twenty pound tickets qualifying for the scheme.

Economy Plus still remains as a business class, offering dedicated check-in, free seat assignment, lounge access, ticket flexibility and the FFP. Calculations are based on economy one way earning one point and return two points, while Economy Plus single earns two points and return four points.

A free return flight requires 16 points, while 20 points are needed to qualify for one year's free lounge access.
