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:
For short-distance flight delays of up to 1500 km, passengers are entitled up to £220 compensation from easyJet.
For medium distance flight delays between 1500 km and 3500 km, passengers are entitled up to £350 compensation from easyJet.
For long-distance flight delays of over 3500 km, passengers are due £520 compensation from easyJet.
EasyJet delay, cancellation, overbooking, or missed connection flight? You are entitled to:
Short distances up to 1500 km | Medium distances up to 3500 km | Long distances over 3500 km |
|---|---|---|
e.g. London – Edinburgh | e.g. London – Athens | e.g. London – Tokyo |
£220 | £350 | £520 |
*Minus commission (usually 20 to 30% [if nec. plus attorney’s fee of 14% ] plus VAT) if claimed through our service
Family Example: A family of four on a long-haul flight delayed 4+ hours could claim £2,080 total (£520 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.

Cancellations: 8,894 (1.68%)

Punctuality
EasyJet is gradually building a reputation for being unpunctual. They currently sit at the top of the flight delay and cancellations rankings with 8894 cancelled flights and 4307 delayed flights in 2025. As it stands, easyJet doesn’t seem to be stopping anytime soon.
Poor Compensation Response
With their lack of punctuality, you would assume they would do well with customer service, but that is not the case. In our experience, easyJet remains one of the most difficult airlines to deal with regarding getting clients compensated. EasyJet has a piled-up list of unsettled claims; the more reasons you should choose us to help you get your easyJet compensation.
Information about online check-in
When flying with easyJet, you can check in online up to 30 days before your flight departs and as late as two hours before departure. Checking in advance online is highly recommended to avoid unnecessary delays to your journey. This can also be done via their app, a useful tool to have as it will also keep you updated on the status of your flight, such as your boarding time, gate number and any possible disruptions.

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 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 UK261 and EU Regulation 261/2004, easyJet has a legal obligation to compensate passengers for flight disruptions within its 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.
