EasyJet Flight Cancelled? How to Get Compensation
EasyJet cancelled your flight? You may be entitled to up to £520 compensation plus a full refund under UK261. Find out how to claim.
Having your EasyJet flight cancelled is stressful, but the law is firmly on your side. Under UK261 regulations, you are entitled to a full refund plus compensation of up to £520 depending on your route.
Your rights when EasyJet cancels your flight
When EasyJet cancels your flight, they must offer you a choice between:
- A full refund to your original payment method
- A replacement flight to your destination at the earliest opportunity
On top of this, you may also be entitled to cash compensation on top of the refund, unless the cancellation was caused by extraordinary circumstances outside EasyJet's control.
How much compensation can you claim?
- £220 for short-haul flights under 1,500km
- £350 for medium-haul flights between 1,500km and 3,500km
- £520 for long-haul flights over 3,500km
When can EasyJet refuse to pay?
EasyJet can avoid paying compensation if the cancellation was caused by extraordinary circumstances they couldn't control, such as severe weather, political unrest, or airport security incidents. However, they cannot use this excuse for:
- Technical faults with the aircraft
- Staff shortages or crew unavailability
- Operational decisions made for commercial reasons
How far back can you claim?
Up to 6 years for flights departing UK airports. If EasyJet cancelled your flight in 2020 or later, you may still be able to claim today.
How to claim EasyJet compensation
You can submit a claim directly via EasyJet's website, but many passengers find their claims are delayed, rejected, or ignored. If that happens you will need to escalate to CEDR, EasyJet's approved dispute resolution scheme.
