EasyJet Flight Disrupted? You May Be Owed Compensation

EasyJet is one of Europe's largest budget airlines. EU Regulation 261/2004 gives you strong rights when things go wrong.

EasyJet carries over 90 million passengers per year across its European network. As a UK-headquartered airline that operates extensively within the EU, easyJet flights are covered by EU261 for all departures from EU airports, and for arrivals into the EU since easyJet holds operating licences in several EU countries.

If your easyJet flight was cancelled with less than 14 days notice, or arrived more than 3 hours late at your destination, you may be entitled to compensation of 250€ to 600€. EasyJet's typical short-haul routes within Europe usually fall in the 250€ to 400€ compensation range.

EasyJet has a dedicated EU261 claims process on their website, but many passengers find that submitting a formal claim letter citing specific regulations is more effective. Our AI tool generates this letter for you automatically, tailored to your specific situation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does EU261 still apply to easyJet after Brexit?

For flights departing from EU airports, EU261 still applies to all airlines including easyJet, regardless of Brexit. For flights from the UK, similar rules apply under the UK's retained EU law (known as 'UK261'). Either way, your rights are protected.

How long does easyJet take to respond to claims?

EasyJet typically responds to EU261 claims within 4-8 weeks. If you don't receive a response within 8 weeks, you can escalate to the relevant national enforcement body.

What if easyJet offered me a flight credit instead of cash?

Under EU261, you have the right to cash compensation. You are not obligated to accept a flight credit or voucher. You can insist on cash payment.
