easyJet EC261 claim
How to claim easyJet flight delay compensation
If your easyJet flight was delayed, cancelled, or you were denied boarding, EC261 or UK261 may give you a compensation claim. Check your flight first, then use the official airline process.
When easyJet compensation may apply
A easyJet flight may qualify when it arrives at the final destination at least 3 hours late and the flight is covered by EC261 or UK261.
Compensation can still be refused if the disruption was caused by extraordinary circumstances outside the airline's control, such as severe weather, air traffic control restrictions, airport closures, security issues, or some strikes.
The route matters as much as the delay. Focus on the final arrival time and keep the details of the whole journey.
What to prepare for an easyJet claim
- Flight number, flight date, and route.
- Booking reference or confirmation code.
- Passenger names and contact details.
- Actual arrival time or evidence of the disruption, if available.
- Receipts for meals, accommodation, or transport if you also claim expenses.
How to submit a easyJet EC261 claim
- Check your easyJet flight in EC261 Check.
- Open easyJet's official passenger-rights or compensation page.
- Enter the booking and flight details exactly as shown on your reservation.
- Keep the claim reference and any airline response in case you need to follow up later.
Keep copies of booking emails, screenshots, receipts, airline messages, and any claim reference you receive.
Useful official sources
Use official passenger-rights sources for the legal background, then use the airline's own process for the submission.
