Frequent Flyer: Overview

If Relax Gaming’s Frequent Flyer is anything to judge by, the studio clearly has a case of wanderlust. Set in the most romantic of places—an airport—the slot has you daydreaming about faraway getaways that would make anyone’s online followers envious. Along the way, you can take advantage of a two-level free spins setup designed to boost potential returns. Long before Instagram and selfie sticks became the centre of travel, flying was said to be far more glamorous. You’ve likely seen old shots of economy seats that resembled Lazy Boy recliners, cabin crew pouring champers for everyone, and yes—people even used to smoke on planes. That was before 9/11, back when airport security didn’t feel like such an ordeal.

That’s the era Frequent Flyer taps into: a 6-reel, 40-payline slot where the reels sit beside an ever-changing flight information board, with a retro terminal scene in the background complete with old-school aircraft. A touch of Art Deco flair is added for style, and a laid-back jazz soundtrack blends the time periods into a slightly mixed aesthetic that still comes together nicely. Warm, tawny colours finish it off with a soft, nostalgic glow.

You can play from 10 p/c to $/€100 per spin on any device, and the game comes with an RTP of 96.14%. That’s a comfortably middle-of-the-road return, paired with low volatility, making it a better fit for players who prefer a smoother ride over something more extreme. Think less “cage diving with great white sharks” and more “easygoing city break.”

There are 8 standard pay symbols, beginning with 4 low-value suits: clubs, spades, hearts, and diamonds. At the top end are 4 premium icons featuring famous sights like the Eifel Tower, the Statue of Liberty, the Sphinx/Pyramid, and the Chureito Temple by Mt Fuji. For payouts, landing 6 low symbols across a full payline—no matter which suit—pays 2x, while premium lines return between 5x and 20x the stake. The wild pays a little higher at 30 times the stake for six on a pay line, though that outcome is extremely uncommon; most of the time, wilds act as substitutes to help complete winning combinations.

Frequent Flyer: Features

Frequent Flyer includes a couple of different free spins styles—Jetsetter Free Spins and Frequent Flyer Free Spins.

Jetsetter Free Spins are the simpler of the two to activate. They trigger when 5 flap symbols land and spell one of the destinations shown on the information board. When that happens, you receive 3 free spins with either 2 to 10 shuffling wilds, or a win multiplier from 2x to 6x. It’s also possible to complete a destination with the flap symbols while also landing a +3 icon; if that occurs, you’ll get 6 free spins instead of 3.

Whenever you spell a destination and trigger Jetsetter Free Spins, a stamp is added next to that location on the information board. Collect stamps for all 10 destinations and you’ll unlock Frequent Flyer Free Spins. In this feature, you can pick from 4 options:

• Unpack Relax – 5 free spins with a 3x multiplier + 3 wilds.
• Skytours – 3 free spins with a 2x multiplier + 6 wilds.
• Travel Gurus – 5 free spins with a 6x multiplier + 1 wild.

The fourth choice is a gamble option that can award 4-20 free spins, 2-6x multiplier, and 1-10 wilds. If you’ve been changing your bet size, the Frequent Flyer round is played using the average of all stakes placed up to that moment. Once the Frequent Flyer feature ends, the stamps are cleared from the board, meaning the journey starts over again.

The final add-on is the Final Call feature, which randomly places two flap symbols onto spinning reels to improve your odds of triggering the feature.

Frequent Flyer: Verdict

It’s obviously not the same as relaxing in a real terminal before boarding a long-haul flight to somewhere exotic, but it does capture a few of those vibes. The jazzy “golden age” presentation is calming and keeps the tone upbeat, and the arrivals/departures board is a smart touch that ties neatly into the gameplay features.

Relax Gaming’s destination list mixes a few lesser-known picks with the usual must-see favourites. Naturally, they were limited to five-letter city names, but it’s still fun to “fly” to places like Perth, Delhi, or Quito as you trigger them and tick them off. Jetsetter Free Spins also appear reasonably often, giving the base game some variety, while Frequent Flyer Free Spins provides a longer-term goal to work towards.

That said, there are a couple of potential drawbacks. The 6×4 layout can feel a bit oversized for a game with this number of paylines. It can also start to feel repetitive over time—almost like it’s teasing you. In other words, even when you trigger something like Cairo or Miami, the visuals on screen remain largely the same. A bigger shift in scenery for each destination—similar to Aldo’s Journey—could have made the travel theme land even better.

Still, that’s more of a wish list item than a serious complaint. Under the surface, the numbers hold up well if you enjoy a touch of volatility in your sessions. Wins of up to 5,000 times the stake are on the table, which is hard to argue with. With a little imagination, Frequent Flyer works as a light gateway to the wider world. It could perhaps have opened that gate a bit more, but what’s here is perfectly serviceable for a dose of escapism.
