Has easyJet Rejected Your Claim?

Airlines can be quite creative with their excuses for not paying out compensation for flight delays. If you’ve been told your claim is not valid it could be for a number of reasons including:

  • Delay was due to a ‘hidden manufacturing defect’
  • There was a lightning strike or poor weather conditions
  • The flight delay was because of ‘extraordinary circumstances’
  • Cabin crew or the pilot was sick or went over their hours

We’ve successfully recovered compensation for thousands passengers who have been told any of the above reasons by airlines (any many more). We often discover that the airline changes their excuse during the claims process as well.

How To Claim Compensation Direct With easyJet

To claim direct with easyJet you will need to write to their offices, this address and company details are also what you will need to specify in any court proceedings you need to issue when you get to that point in your claim.

easyJet Ltd:
Hangar 89,
London Luton Airport
LU2 9PF

If you’re struggling to know what to say in your letter of claim then worry not, we have a downloadable template letter already set up with the correct address details for easyJet.

You can also submit your details through the easyJet website but the chances are you’re reading this guide because you’re one of the passengers easyJet has ignored or refused to pay out.

The airline does explain some of your rights if the flight was late in their guide but this won’t help if you didn’t know it before you travelled! Instead, we’ll explain how much you’re entitled to claim for your delay to and the easiest way to recover your compensation.

Be prepared for a long wait and numerous letters back and forth – particularly if easyJet is reluctant to pay out or defend the claim.

Who Are easyJet

EasyJet is one of the largest low-cost airlines in Europe with over 10,000 employees carrying over 65 million passengers per year on 200 aircraft across 28 bases including Gatwick and Luton.

Most people in the UK at some point will have travelled on an easyJet flight or know someone that has, so it’s also possible that you, or someone you know, has been delayed more than three hours on an easyJet flight in or out of the UK.

Claiming compensation from easyJet should be straightforward – but unfortunately that’s not always the case. EU261 states that you should be compensated if the flight is delayed more than three hours on arrival, or if your flight is cancelled with less than 14 days’ notice, or if you are denied boarding.

EasyJet has previously been criticised for not refunding tickets on cancelled flights quickly enough and for not paying compensation or offering care and assistance under EU 261/2004.

Examples of Successful Flight Delay Claims Against easyJet

Two brothers from Bedfordshire asked Bott and Co to help with their claim against easyJet after enduring a 24 hour delay and being fobbed off by the airline when they tried to claim direct.

The airline kept delaying the flight without giving passengers any reasons until eventually they decided to cancel the flight telling the delayed passengers that someone had been sick on the plane on an earlier journey.

easyJet said they couldn’t organise overnight accommodation but if people booked hotels then they would reimburse the costs at a later date, so passengers were left to fend for themselves.

Once the passengers finally arrived home a day later than anticipated, our client James Simpson wrote to easyJet to claim compensation under regulation 261/2004 and for the overnight hotel and food costs incurred.

easyJet responded declining any reimbursement of hotel accommodation and transport expenses plus they also refused to compensate for the delay and cancellation.

“It’s been an absolute fight and huge pain to get anywhere with the airline.”

James did some research online where he found Bott and Co and submitted his flight details to our legal team to recover 500 Euros in compensation under EU Regulation 261/2004.

Elderly disabled man left without proper care and assistance

Bott and Co helped a 70 year old disabled man recover £345.07 from easyJet after his cancelled flight transformed a bargain break into a holiday nightmare.

Just minutes before Robert Dale was due to fly home after a break in Barcelona to Newcastle Airport passengers were told by easyJet that their flight was cancelled.

Mr Dale, who was registered as disabled so that airline knew to look after him and provide him with the relevant care and assistance, was left to travel 300 miles alone and without assistance after eventually being rerouted to another airport.

After a night in a nearby hotel Mr Dale had to make his own way back to the airport where he learned that there weren’t any flights back to Newcastle for another five days – and easyJet would not pay for any more nights in a hotel.

As a result he had no real choice but to take a different flight to Southend and try to get back home from there. He was left to get on the plane last and walk up the steps without assistance, despite easyJet being aware of his disability.

The airline refused compensation saying the reason for the delay was due to the weather (thunderstorms) which affected the flight out to Barcelona. Bott and Co’s investigations showed the visibility was very good with no wind and therefore the delay was claimable.

Bott and Co were able to recover compensation from easyJet for Mr Dale’s cancelled flight under EU Regulation 261/2004.

Three-hour delay or not?

We recovered £567.32 flight delay compensation for a couple from Cornwall who were delayed for over 3 hours, but told by easyJet that their delay was less than 3 hours.

Philip Walsh and his wife Karen were travelling from Bristol Airport to Alicante on 5th October 2014 for a two week holiday and to visit family, when their flight was delayed. They were delayed for 3 hours and 1 minute which is claimable under EU Regulation 261.

The couple sent a template letter supplied by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to easyJet who wrote back to say the delay was due to a diversion on the flight beforehand. When the couple wrote back disputing this easyJet changed their excuse and claimed the delay was 2 hours and 59 minutes, and therefore not eligible for compensation.

They found out about Bott and Co via an internet search and submitted their claim through our flight delay compensation calculator.

Our data was able to confirm the flight was indeed delayed over three hours and we successfully recovered compensation from easyJet for the couple.
