When Can I Claim EasyJet Compensation?
EasyJet Delay Compensation
You can claim if your easyJet flight arrived at your final destination more than 3 hours late. What matters is your arrival time, not when you departed. The delay must be due to issues within easyJet’s control—not extraordinary circumstances like extreme weather.
Important: Even if easyJet told you the delay was due to “technical issues,” this usually means you’re entitled to compensation. Don’t let them use this as an excuse.
EasyJet Flight Cancellation Compensation
Claim if easyJet cancelled your flight with less than 14 days’ notice before departure. If you were offered alternative transport that arrived within 2-4 hours of your original time (depending on distance), compensation may not apply—but always check with us first.
EasyJet Refund vs Compensation: What’s the Difference?
Refund: Money back for your unused ticket when you choose not to travel
Compensation: Payment for the inconvenience caused by delays/cancellations
You can claim BOTH in many situations
EasyJet Denied Boarding / Overbooking
If easyJet denied you boarding against your will because they oversold the flight, you’re entitled to compensation plus immediate rebooking or a refund.
Missed Connections on EasyJet
You missed your connecting easyJet flight due to a delay on the first leg, causing you to arrive at your final destination more than 3 hours late. Both flights must be on the same booking.
How Much EasyJet Compensation Can You Claim?
Your compensation depends on flight distance and delay length:
Short distance flight delays – Below 1500km – Passengers are due €250 compensation from EasyJet.
Medium distance flight delays – Between 1500km and 3500km – Passengers are due €400 compensation from EasyJet.
Long-distance flight delays – Over 3500km – Passengers are due €600 compensation from EasyJet.
Delay, cancellation, overbooking or missed connection flight? You are entitled to:
Short distance up to 1500 km | Medium distance up to 3500 km | Long distance from 3500 km |
|---|---|---|
e.g. Paris – Marseilles | e.g. Berlin – Athens | e.g. London – Tokyo |
250€ | 400€ | 600€ |
Family Example: A family of four on a long-haul flight delayed 4+ hours could claim €2400 total (€600 x 4). The amount is legally fixed—it has nothing to do with how much you paid for your ticket or which fare class you booked.

About EasyJet
Founded in 1995, easyJet is one of Europe’s largest low-cost airlines, operating over 1,000 routes across 35 countries and serving 158 airports. With a fleet of 336 aircraft and headquarters at London Luton Airport, easyJet carries millions of EU and UK passengers annually.
However, easyJet has developed a reputation for poor punctuality and difficult compensation processes. With over 8,800 cancellations in 2025 alone and a tendency to deny valid claims, many passengers struggle to receive the compensation they’re legally entitled to.
Under EU Regulation 261/2004, easyJet has a legal obligation to compensate passengers for flight disruptions within their control. Yet the airline often ignores claims, offers inadequate vouchers, or incorrectly cites extraordinary circumstances.
Our mission: To cut through easyJet’s delaying tactics and ensure every passenger receives their full legal compensation—quickly, easily, and at no upfront cost.
