easyJet compensation guide
The airline name alone does not determine your rights. Route, operating carrier and disruption details matter.
Quick answer
Could your flight qualify?
You may be entitled to compensation for an eligible easyJet delay, cancellation, involuntary denied boarding or disrupted connection. The important detail is which easyJet airline operated your flight: EZY, EJU or EZS. Travaro checks the route, operating carrier and disruption before applying the relevant passenger-rights rules.

Passenger rights
Which passenger rights could apply?
easyJet is a pan-European airline group rather than a single operating carrier. UK261 and EC261 are especially important across its network, while Türkiye's SHY-YOLCU rules can also apply to qualifying Turkish departures.
United Kingdom
UK261
£220–£520 in qualifying cases
easyJet flights departing from UK airports can fall under UK261. For flights arriving into the UK, the operating easyJet airline and origin of the flight can affect coverage.

EC261
€250–€600 in qualifying cases
easyJet flights departing from EU airports can fall under EC261. Qualifying inbound journeys can also be covered depending on which easyJet operating airline operates the flight.

SHY-YOLCU
TRY equivalent of €100–€600
Qualifying easyJet departures from airports in Türkiye can fall under SHY-YOLCU. Route, disruption type and final arrival impact determine the applicable passenger rights.

What happened to your easyJet flight?
Delayed flight
A significant arrival delay may qualify depending on the route, applicable passenger-rights rules and cause of the disruption.
Cancelled flight
Cancellation rights can depend on notice timing, the reason for cancellation and any alternative journey offered.
Denied boarding
Involuntary denied boarding can create compensation, alternative travel, refund and care rights in qualifying circumstances.
Missed connection
A connecting journey booked as one itinerary may qualify when a disruption causes you to reach your final destination significantly late.
Important conditions
What can affect your eligibility?
The easyJet brand alone is not enough to determine the applicable rules. Travaro checks the flight prefix, actual operating airline, route, disruption and final arrival impact before applying the relevant passenger-rights framework.
EZY normally means easyJet UK
Flights beginning EZY are normally operated by easyJet UK Limited. This can be important when assessing UK261 coverage, especially on journeys arriving into the United Kingdom.
EJU normally means easyJet Europe
Flights beginning EJU are normally operated by easyJet Europe Airline GmbH, an Austrian airline. Its EU carrier status can be important for EC261 coverage on qualifying inbound journeys.
EZS normally means easyJet Switzerland
Flights beginning EZS are normally operated by easyJet Switzerland S.A. Swiss routes have their own carrier context, so the operating airline and journey should be checked rather than assuming every easyJet flight has identical regulatory coverage.
UK departures can fall under UK261
A qualifying flight departing from a UK airport can fall under UK261 regardless of which easyJet operating airline operates it.
EU departures can fall under EC261
Flights departing from EU airports can fall under EC261 regardless of whether the operating easyJet airline is based in the UK or European Union.
Final arrival delay matters
For qualifying delay and connecting-journey cases, compensation can depend on how late you reach the final destination rather than only the departure delay.
Cancellation timing matters
Compensation following a cancellation can depend on how much notice you received and whether suitable alternative transport was offered within the relevant regulatory limits.
Extraordinary circumstances can change entitlement
Weather, air-traffic restrictions and certain other events outside the airline's control can affect fixed compensation, while care, rerouting and refund obligations may still remain.
