easyJet Flight Delay Compensation
easyJet passengers may qualify for fixed compensation when a covered flight arrives 3+ hours late, is cancelled without enough notice, or results in denied boarding.
Rules update (verified 17 October 2026): The EU adopted a reform of EU261 on 13 July 2026. It does not change the €250 / €400 / €600 compensation amounts or the 3-hour rule, and it only starts applying around the second half of 2027 — claims for flights disrupted today are made under the current rules. Sources: European Parliament (7 July 2026 vote) and Regulation (EC) No 261/2004.

Check Your easyJet Claim
quick answer
When easyJet Passengers Can Claim
The main test is your final arrival delay, route coverage, and whether the airline could reasonably control the cause.
Arrived 3+ hours late
The delay is measured at final destination arrival, not departure from the gate.
EU261 or UK261 applies
Covered routes include EU/UK departures and many arrivals on European airlines.
Not extraordinary
Weather, airport security, and air traffic control can exempt airlines. Technical and staffing issues often do not.
Claim still in time
Time limits vary by country, often 3 to 6 years. Older flights may still be worth checking.
Example easyJet Routes
- London Gatwick to Amsterdam, Berlin, or Milan
- Bristol, Manchester, or Edinburgh departures to Europe
- EU or UK routes operated by easyJet, easyJet Europe, or easyJet Switzerland
Common Claim Issues
- easyJet says the disruption was caused by airport restrictions
- The flight was cancelled but rebooked onto a later service
- The arrival delay was just under or just over the 3 hour threshold
- The claim involves UK261 after Brexit rather than EU261
