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

common questions

easyJet Delay Compensation FAQ

Can I claim easyJet compensation after a 3 hour delay?
Yes, if the final arrival delay was 3 hours or more, the flight is covered by EU261 or UK261, and the disruption was not caused by extraordinary circumstances.
Does easyJet compensation apply to cancelled flights?
It can. Short-notice cancellations may qualify when easyJet did not provide acceptable rerouting and the cancellation was within the airline control.
How long does easyJet compensation take?
Straightforward claims can settle in weeks. Disputed claims can take longer if the claim partner has to escalate the case.
