We arrived at the airport on time. Our planed arrived from previous flight with a delay. After a significant delay, boarding pass checkin started but we didn't board the plane. After some time they told us that we had to exit the boarding area & return to the gate, because crew wasn't available, and they would send new crew. After a while they informed us about the flight cancellation. The offered to book different flights through their website, but there were not any available flights for 2-3 days. We booked a new flight for the next day (not direct) on our own. Later we claimed for expenses, ticket refund & compensation. Expenses & ticket refund were accepted & paid by the airline, but they refused to pay compensation. Their justification was that the cancellation was caused due to crew unavailability because of previous flight delays. We contacted the airline several times requesting more info and proof of their actions taken to find reserve crew, but they never provided any. All relevant communication is on the attached email.- Milano-Athens

Received email whilst in taxi to airport informing us that flight was cancelled. Email also included instructions with what to do next. No time to read as we were at airport at this time. Tried to find easyJet desk but were told to go to Swissair as easyJet didn't have one. Lady behind counter was dealing with many people but when she got to us she took our details and advised us to try and get flight and redeem cost from easyJet. Only 1 left was for Heathrow but was boarding at time so asked for alternative. easyJet put us up in hotel until next available flight to Edinburgh,which we had already booked ourselves ,which was 48 hours away. They explained we would have to get taxi,keep receipts for that and any foods bought. This we did and duelly claimed against and received money for. What we didn't get compensated for was the loss of earnings Karen accrued not the extra 2 holidays I had to use.- Thira-Edinburgh

They boarded us on the plane, made us wait 4 hours on board while they βfixed the planeβ with no food or water, right before they de-boarded us back to gate they gave us a cup of water and one small pringle. Said they would get another plane . Made us wait another 3 hours on the airport, said they would give us hotel because another poane was impossible. We waited another hour just for them to tell us that there was no hotel. We had to get our own hotel of 3 stars and send receipt to easyjet. They said we had to get another flight through easyjet and they would cover.- Manchester-Milano

After checking in for flight was bussed to plane but not allowed off bus. Then told plane would not be flying and bussed back to terminal. Eventually after waiting at airport all day was told flight would not fly until the following morning. The eventual flight did not arrive until 1200 27th August . I had to book alternative flight as I had to be there before the next day. Airline said they would not pay the EU compensation for this flight and would not pay for my alternative flight I booked. The provided me with a refund for the Easyjet flight.- Ibiza-Naples

EasyJet cancelled the flight and sent us a message trough the app for booking another flight, the earliest we could get was on the next day (departure 6:10am). They book us a night in a hotel nearby and paid that expense. We only lose money with the food we had and a tax from the hotel. The major inconvenience was not arriving to our destiny on the day we were supposed to.- Geneva-Porto

Charged for cabin foldable pushchair
Today our daughter Lauren travelled with her two children to Turkey with EasyJet to join us. My wife and I travel a lot with EasyJet and we have always been supporters and advocates of this carrier. However I am not impressed today! She purchased at great expense a special fold down pushchair to take on board with her to make life easier as her daughter Niyah is only 7months and her son Harley 3 years old. Harley currently has Leukaemia. As she was boarding there was a complete jobsworth with a card machine who charged her Β£48 for the pushchair as he said it constituted an overhead cabin bag! She explained her situation and he went and spoke to a superior who said itβs up to you. So he turned and charged her! If she had a normal pushchair it would have gone in the hold free! However she could not manage the Dalaman end with a baby to carry off the plane through to baggage claim which is why she purchased the fold up pushchair for the cabin. I say to that jobsworth shame on you! I say to EasyJet you should take a look at your customer service! I personally think this is disgusting!- London-Dalaman

cabin cases size and additional flight fees
my wife and myself arrived at Bristol airport and all went well , we weighed in our 2 cases (22 kilo and 21 kilo) we had a 23kilo max, it was very busy that day and the easy jet guy looked at our cabin bags and said that were ok and to hurry up and get our cases weighed in , which we did and went up stairs to the departure area and relaxed after completing passport and security controls . We went into duty free etc and had a browse around ,when it was time to board we presented ourselves to the departure gate only to to be told that our 2 cabin bags were too big ! I protested that we were told by your staff that our bags were ok ,but then I was told that I had pay Β£95 to have cases put the air craft hold , my cases were then took away much to the distress of my partially sighted wife , the queue was now building up and I had no option but to pay the extortionate amount demanded ! However on our return flight on the same aircraft there were no restrictions what so ever ! cases of any size were put in the over head lockers with no problems ! I demand an explanation and a full refund of my money that was demanded from me at Bristol ! Moving on from that incident on our arrival at Daleman airport we were then delayed once again at passport control because our passports were in our cabin cases and we had to rely on the kindness of the Turkish to retrieve our cases from the carousel so we could show them our our passports ! On finally exiting the airport 45 minutes later we located our transfer bus ! I I use the term "bus" with disgust ! A beat up transit van with 14 people already on board , squashed in like sardines with no air-con for long 2.50 minutes to Icmelier dropping off other passengers on route ! my wife was sick with the heat and conditions on board, what a way to start our holiday !! a total disaster !!- Bristol-Dalaman

Volo cancellato alle ore 23 per tre persone compresa bambina 5 anni e nessuna assistenza dalla Compagnia. Il giorno dopo ci hanno dato volo olbia- barcellona e Barcellona- napoli per rientrare avuto rimborsi albergo e taxi ma ci hanno negato risarcimento. Copio motivazione To further explain what happened on the day; an earlier sector air traffic control restrictions substantially regulated the air space due to capacity/staffing issues which resulted in long delays to flights as aircraft waited for air space βslotsβ to operate, sometimes for several hours. This delay pushed your flight into the curfew at Naples (NAP) which meant we had no option but to cancel your flight. There are strict industry wide rules on the number of hours our crew are allowed to work. To protect the safety of our customers and crew, these hours cannot be exceeded. We do take reasonable measures to avoid delays and cancellations to our flights by having replacement crews and spare aircraft available in our network. However, in the circumstances, these options would not have helped as your flight was cancelled due to air traffic control restrictions.- Olbia-Naples

My flight cancelled twice. After cancelled first one, they said the reason is something problem on ATC. And then I needed to go to Rome for connection. I plan to take a flight from Rome to Prague by Wizz airline. So I just tried to get to the Rome first. I changed to flight 1685 from NCE to FCO. I stayed airport for almost 10h and itβs cancelled again with personal reason. They didnβt give any information. I needed a hotel to stay today it was already after 10pm. And doesnβt have a flight to go to Prague 25th of September from nice. So I just bought the ticket from nice to Prague by myself on 26th of September. A day after tomorrow. And booked another accommodation for one more night. I hope easyJet give me a right compensation.- Nice-Rome

Strike
My flight from Milan Malpensa to Amsterdam on 24th September was cancelled only 2 days in advance. I had tried to get another flight on the same day, however, there were no seats left. Therefore, I need to stay in Milan for the next days which becomes a huge problem for me. First, I will have to face additional costs of food and transportation. Second, I will not be able to attend my mandatory lecture and tutorials. The biggest issue is that on Wednesday I was supposed to defend my research project proposal which now I have to reschedule to a later date. I am paying for my education and will not be able to fulfil my responsibilities. Hence, I will loose money and encounter trouble with passing the course I am currently taking.- Milano-Amsterdam

My wife is disabled snd needs special assistance so short notice cancellation is highly inconvenient. We incurred travel expenses which have been refunded. Airline only notified us at 16:43 and offered the next earliest flight which was 17:35. With no chance of making that and needing to be back home Monday for medical appointments we managed to secure seats on the 18:18 tgv 2minutes before it left - highly stressful!- Paris-Geneva

I received a notification few hours prior to my flight departure, letting me know my flight was delayed. Then called the passengers informing us that our flight was cancelled without giving us any reasons whatsoever. I had to rebook for the following day another flight. Because of the flight cancellation I missed an important event that had to take place early the following day. As it was very late, the shops were closed and I couldnβt get any food. I just wanted to get off from the airport asap as I was scared on my own, not knowing what to do, going back home would have gotten me hours, so I took a hotel from Gatwick to Luton as the following flight was at Luton airport. The distance between those airports are far and costly. Finally I got an hotel which was filled up of bed bus. I was very stressed because of this cancellation. Not to mention the inconvenience caused by this cancellation.- London-Lyon

I called easyjet and they took care of booking a new flight and they also booked the hotels until the 12th, then they said i just need to submit my expenses on the website, but everytime i do that, they claim that they cant find the flight im referring to. I siegned no papers.- Zurich-Porto

We wasnβt told that the flight was delayed until Midnight by an email and was left stranded at the airport with no contact or advice with nobody to contact from easyJet not even by phone. We had to get ourselves to an hotel by taxi and wait until they emailed again to say that they was putting a flight on nearly 24 hours later. We spoke to other easyJet customers the next day at the airport that had been told that the flight was not going at 9:30pm and had been bused out put up in hotels by easyJet but we had already checked in and waiting through all security checks, no announcement only flight board that was telling us it that flight was still going ahead but not until 4am the early hours of the morning so we waited. then at 12 oβclock midnight it was changed on the board and said flight cancelled we then had to try and get back out through the security checks but no one around at that early hours in the morning the airport was deserted. The only hotel we could get at 1am was a dirty room in the city never slept all night. We are not young travellers we are all in our 60s this was very scary for us to just be left alone in a foreign countries airport like this. The flight they put in the next day was delayed again for a few hours and we were kept stuck in a glass hot stairwell whilst we were bused out to plane the captain apologised to all the passengers and said the flight was cancelled yesterday because of a drunken passenger and they had to land in a different country and could not get the plane to turn round and come and pick us up for our flight and had to put another flight on for us 24 hours later. The problem we have is that there was no one in the airport to help us from easyJet. They had all gone home. They didnβt even check to see that some passengers had gone through checked in and was sitting upstairs waiting. We eventually got home but our pickup we had booked could not get us now we were so much later so we had to pay Β£60 petrol to a friend to come and pick us up from London Gatwick I have uploaded this receipt too but not sure if we can claim this. We also had to call our employers to say we would not be in work as we were so shattered from the delayed flight.- Tenerife-London

What time did you arrive at your final destination? -> The fligh was cancelled without explanations of anybody What did the airline tell you, and when? -> Nobody of easyjet's crew was coming to tell us anything. Only one airport representative crew told us where to retrieve the suitcases What care did the airline provide, if any? - No cares were provided to us and anybody who's travelling with us How did the incident inconvenience you? - No explanation was given and nobody went to explain to us what we had to do.

It was a night mare! There was no easy jet staff at berlin airport at night, and there were some people who were telling us that they were helping us because they were nice - clearly patronising us. However, my problem was that everything I was receiving from easy jet was in german language - which I did not know. So, I felt helpless. A hotel was booked without transportation or food (yes there was no food voucher given by easy jet). because there were very limited options available, I felt being forced to rebook the flight next day via barcelona . I arrived at night which led me to miss a very important meeting. This led me to a lot of stress and mental breakdown.- Schonefeld-London
