Refund and Compensation for EasyJet
Flight Delays or Cancellations

ReFly protects the rights of air passengers

If you’ve had a negative experience with EasyJet, such as a delayed flight, a canceled flight, or denied boarding, you might be entitled to a refund or compensation. In this section of the website, we’ll explain everything you need to know: from your rights as a passenger, to how to request compensation, including specific cases of delays or cancellations, and most importantly, how Refly can help you resolve everything with just a simple click!

Compensation is a financial reimbursement granted to you for the inconvenience caused by the delay. This right is governed by European Regulation EC 261/2004, which sets the criteria for accessing compensation.
The ticket refund involves recovering the amount paid for the flight, in case you choose not to depart due to the delay or cancellation of the flight.

    The first step is to officially check the flight delay. You can do this in various ways:
  • Check the departure monitors at the airport.
  • Use the airline's app to receive real-time updates.
  • Request information directly at the airline's counter.

Remember that you can use our form to find out if you're entitled to compensation!

Your Rights as an EasyJet Passenger

Traveling with EasyJet guarantees the protection of your rights under the European Regulation 261/2004.

This regulation establishes that, in case of disruptions such as delays, cancellations, or denied boarding, you are entitled to compensation or a refund (or both!), depending on the situation you faced.

When are you entitled to a refund or compensation?

You are entitled to a refund or compensation in the following cases:

  1. Flight delay: If your EasyJet flight arrives with a delay of at least 3 hours compared to the scheduled time.
  2. Flight cancellation: If your flight is cancelled with less than 14 days' notice.
  3. Boarding denied: If you are denied boarding due to reasons attributable to the airline, such as overbooking.

When are you not entitled to a refund or compensation?

You are not entitled to a refund or compensation if the delay or cancellation is caused by extraordinary circumstances beyond EasyJet's control, such as:

  1. Bad weather.
  2. Strikes by airport staff or air traffic control.
  3. Health emergencies or security issues.

However, in these cases, EasyJet is still required to provide you with assistance, such as meals, drinks, and, if necessary, hotel accommodation.

How Much Can You Get as Compensation?

The amount of compensation, meaning the financial reimbursement, depends on the flight distance and the delay upon arrival. Here’s a summary table:

Flight Distance Compensation
Up to 1,500 km £220
Between 1,500 km and 3,500 km £350
Over 3,500 km (outside the EU) £520

For example:
If your EasyJet flight from Milan to London (less than 1,500 km) arrives over 3 hours late, you’re entitled to £220 in compensation.
For an intercontinental flight, such as Rome–New York, the compensation can be as high as £520.
