Know the airline
Claiming from easyJet: what to know
easyJet is a British low-cost airline and one of Europe's largest, with major bases at London Gatwick, London Luton and Milan Malpensa. Its flights are operated by easyJet UK, easyJet Europe (licensed in Austria) or easyJet Switzerland, so EU 261 or UK 261 applies depending on the route and the operator.
Before you claim
- 01
Check which easyJet company operated your flight — it's on your booking. easyJet Europe is an EU airline, so its flights into the EU from outside Europe are covered too.
- 02
Accepting easyJet's rebooking or refund doesn't cancel your right to compensation. The two are separate entitlements under EU 261.
- 03
Delays count when the aircraft door opens at your destination, not at touchdown. A flight that lands 2h 55m late but opens its doors after three hours still qualifies.

Under UK 261: £220 to £520 per passenger

Compensation
How much easyJet owes you
The amount is fixed by flight distance. A €20 promo fare and a flexible business ticket are worth exactly the same.
Up to 1,500 km
€250
e.g. Dublin–London, Barcelona–Paris
1,500–3,500 km
€400
e.g. London–Athens, Madrid–Warsaw
Over 3,500 km
€600
e.g. Frankfurt–New York, Paris–Doha
Per passenger — for arrival delays of three hours or more, short-notice cancellations and denied boarding.
Flights within the EU over 1,500 km are always paid at €400.
Common pushback
What easyJet may say — and what the law says
A rejection is where most claims start, not where they end. These are the replies we challenge most often.
“It was a technical problem.”
Faults found during normal operation are part of running an airline. Courts rarely accept them as extraordinary circumstances.
“The weather was bad.”
Only weather that made your specific flight unsafe counts. We check the claim against meteorological and airport records.
“The aircraft arrived late from its previous flight.”
A knock-on delay only excuses the airline if the original cause was itself extraordinary — and the airline has to prove it.
“Our crew went on strike.”
A strike by the airline's own staff is within its control. The European Court of Justice has ruled it does not exempt the carrier.
“We already gave you meal vouchers.”
Meals, hotels and rebooking are care, not compensation. Accepting them never waives your right to be paid.

FAQ
easyJet compensation questions
Still unsure? Check your flight for free — it takes two minutes and commits you to nothing.
How much compensation can I get from easyJet?
Between €250 and €600 per passenger, depending on flight distance. Delays must be three hours or more at arrival, and cancellations must be announced less than 14 days before departure. What you paid for the ticket makes no difference.
Can I claim from easyJet myself?
Yes, filing with easyJet directly is free. Many passengers come to us because first claims are often rejected or ignored — we handle the follow-up, the regulator and court if needed, and only charge if you get paid.
How far back can I claim against easyJet?
It depends on the country where the claim is filed. Limitation periods are set nationally and range from about one year to six years, so flights from the last few years are often still claimable. Check yours for free.
easyJet rebooked me or gave me vouchers. Can I still claim?
Usually, yes. Rebooking, meals and hotel rooms are duties of care and don't replace compensation. Only an agreement where you explicitly gave up your compensation would change that.
How long does easyJet take to pay?
Straightforward claims are often settled within a few weeks to a few months. If easyJet refuses and the claim goes to a regulator or court, it can take longer. We keep you updated at every step.
What if easyJet blames extraordinary circumstances?
Ask for specifics. Severe weather, air traffic control restrictions and security threats can be extraordinary, but technical faults and strikes by the airline's own staff usually aren't. We check the explanation against independent data before accepting it.
