Know the airline
Claiming from Jet2: what to know
Jet2 is a British leisure airline flying from UK bases such as Manchester, Birmingham and Leeds Bradford to holiday destinations across Europe. As a UK airline it is bound by UK 261 on flights from and into the UK, and by EU 261 on flights departing EU airports.
Before you claim
- 01
Your return flight from Spain, Greece or Portugal is covered by EU 261 (departing the EU) and UK 261 (UK airline flying into the UK). You can claim under one of them, not both.
- 02
Booked a Jet2holidays package? Compensation for a delayed or cancelled flight is separate from any package-holiday refund.
- 03
UK 261 pays £220, £350 or £520 per passenger, depending on the flight distance.

Compensation
How much Jet2 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 Jet2 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
Jet2 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 Jet2?
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 Jet2 myself?
Yes, filing with Jet2 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 Jet2?
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.
Jet2 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 Jet2 take to pay?
Straightforward claims are often settled within a few weeks to a few months. If Jet2 refuses and the claim goes to a regulator or court, it can take longer. We keep you updated at every step.
What if Jet2 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.
