Nectar and easyJet team up to offer flights
17 Mar 2011

People taking part in the Nectar card loyalty programme will now be able to exchange their points for easyJet flights.

A new partnership has been established between Nectar and the travel company, with the scheme's founding partner Sainsbury's backing the move.

There are no time limits or restrictions on the journeys available to consumers, with more than 550 destinations in 30 countries being included.

Chief executive officer of the supermarket retailer Justin King said flights were one on the most popular requests from consumers when they were asked how they would like to spend their points.

He added that the news means "many families will be able to book flights in time for their summer holidays with the points they have collected through simply doing their weekly shop at Sainsbury's".

Nectar is the most popular loyalty programme in the UK and individuals obtain £2.50 for every 500 points they collect.
