easyJet Flight Delayed or Cancelled? Claim Up to €600 Under EU261
easyJet consistently ranks among Europe's most delayed airlines. Under EU Regulation 261/2004, you're entitled to fixed cash compensation — not just a refund — when flights are significantly delayed or cancelled. Here's how to claim it.
Claims go back 3 years
EU261 claims can be filed up to 3 years after the flight in most EU countries, and up to 6 years in the UK. An easyJet delay from 2023 may still be claimable today.

How to file your easyJet EU261 claim

If denied or ignored after 14 days
UK passengers: escalate to CEDR (Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution) — easyJet is legally obligated to accept CEDR arbitration. EU passengers: go to your national Aviation Authority.

Or ask a specialist to file it for you
If you would rather not deal with the airline yourself, our partner Compensair can file the claim for you on a no-win-no-fee basis. SubRadar never takes a cut of your compensation.

easyJet denial tactics to watch for
- →"Extraordinary circumstances" for technical faults — this is not valid under EU261
- →Offering travel vouchers — you have the right to demand cash instead
- →Claiming the delay was under 3 hours at destination (check actual arrival time)
- →Sending a generic rejection letter — always escalate to CEDR or national authority
