IHG Hotels & Resorts and EasyJet have
launched a global partnership between their respective business traveler
programs, IHG Business Edge and EasyJet Plus, the companies announced
Wednesday.
Under the partnership, members of IHG Business
Edge, a program for small-to-midsize enterprises, will receive a 10 percent
discount on a new EasyJet Plus membership, as well as benefits like priority
access to security screening, priority boarding, seat selection and extra cabin
baggage.
SME members of EasyJet Plus are now able
access IHG Business Edge benefits, including preferred rates and loyalty perks
at participating IHG hotels worldwide, and achieve IHG One Rewards Gold Elite
status after their first eligible stay.
IHG has launched similar corporate-targeted
collaborations with other travel brands—including Delta Air Lines, Singapore Airlines and Hertz—to bolster IHG
Business Edge, first launched in 2018.
