When can you claim compensation for a delayed easyJet flight?
For your claim to be valid, the following conditions must be met:
The flight was delayed by at least 3 hours upon arrival
The flight departed from or arrived in the EU with easyJet (a European airline)
The delay was not caused by extraordinary circumstances (e.g., extreme weather, external strikes, etc.)
You had a confirmed booking and showed up on time for check-in
The delay was due to reasons under the airline's control (e.g., technical issues, crew shortage)
The delay was caused by unpredictable and unavoidable external factors
If the delay could have been avoided and wasn't due to extraordinary circumstances, you are entitled to compensation. Moreover, if a delay, even under 3 hours, caused you to miss a connection and both flights were on the same booking code, you can claim compensation for the entire journey.
How much can you receive for a delayed easyJet flight?
The amount of compensation depends on the flight distance:

Compensation per passenger
Less than 1,500 km
€400
Compensation per passenger
Between 1,500 and 3,500 km
€600

Practical Example
If your easyJet flight from Bucharest to London (approx. 2,100 km) was delayed by more than 3 hours upon arrival, you are entitled to €400 in compensation. If the delay exceeded 5 hours, you may also request a full refund of your ticket.
How can you claim compensation for a delayed easyJet flight?
The process of obtaining easyJet compensation is simple if you follow these steps:

Gather necessary documents

Attempt an amicable settlement

Receive compensation
