The short answer
Was U23843 delayed long enough for EU 261 compensation?
easyJet flight U23843 from Milan Malpensa to Bristol International Airport arrived about three hours late on 12 October 2026, going by reported arrival times. That is right at the three-hour mark in EU Regulation 261/2004, which counts the delay until the doors open, so the exact gate time decides it. The route is 1,056 km. If it clears three hours, the statutory amount for this distance is €250 per passenger when the airline is responsible.
