Points are earned on all Flybe flights, including flights purchased with standard Economy tickets. Rewards4all points can be swapped for free Flybe flights or for 1 year’s free Executive Lounge access:

1 return UK Economy flight = 16 Points
1 year Executive Lounge Access = 20 Points
1 return UK Economy Plus flight = 22 Points
1 return European Economy flight= 24 Points
1 return European Economy Plus flight = 30 Points

And here's how you earn the Flybe points:

one-way Economy Flight  = 1 Point
one-way Flybe Economy Plus Flight  = 2 Points
return Economy Flight = 2 Points
return Flybe Economy Plus Flight = 4 Points

In other words you need to fly 8 return flights to earn a free return ticket. Assuming that the cost of a Flybe return flight seem to bottom out at £40, meaning that each point is worth a minimum of some £2.50.
