How do you get this 'right?'

[fly_guy100]

I'm a US citizen but would LOVE the opportunity to fly in the UK. I was looking at Easyjet's website and one of thr requirements were, "In possession of the right to work in the UK and travel freely in the EU." How do you get that? I was suprised it didn't say something like hold a EU passport. Is there any absolute way to make this happen? I really want to do this. Thanks everybody!

Hi FlyGuy. Basically it means more or less in possession of an EU passport, or at least have the right of abode to the UK. I would imagine you would already be aware if either of these things were available to you - generally, for non EU residents, its gained via parents or grandparents nationality, ie they were EU or UK nationals themselves

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news

Because even if you have an EU passport, you still may not be able to move freely amoungst the EU.

There are many types of passport for one country and you never know, some people could be banned or wanted in other countries!

Sounds far fetched but i've seen it happen!

But in answer to your question, you'd have to marry someone.

majority of UK carriers will state "right to live and work in the UK or EU"
