I would like to request your assistance in pursuing compensation under EU Regulation 261/2004 for the delayed easyJet flight EJU1737 from Nice (NCE) to Athens (ATH) on 22 June 2026. Passengers: β’ Ioannis Theodoridis β’ Vasileios Karafotias β’ Smaragda Chortaria β’ Chrysoula Kapnoula Our flight arrived in Athens with a delay of approximately 3 hours and 46 minutes. We first submitted a compensation claim directly to easyJet, but it was rejected on the grounds of air traffic control restrictions. We would appreciate it if you could review our case and determine whether the delay was genuinely caused by extraordinary circumstances or whether it was a reactionary (knock-on) delay that may still qualify for compensation under EU Regulation 261/2004. Attached you will find: β’ easyJet's rejection email, β’ boarding passes, β’ photographs showing the departure delay at Nice Airport and the actual arrival time in Athens. We would be grateful if you could assess our case and, if appropriate, represent us in pursuing compensation. Thank you for your time and assistance. Kind regards, Ioannis Theodoridis On behalf of all four passengers *easyJet Answer to us the below Dear IOANNIS, thank you for getting in touch. Weβre very sorry that your flight from NCE to ATH was DELAY We always review claims fairly and in keeping with EU/UK regulation. We know how frustrating delays can be. We always aim to provide the best possible experience when flying with us, however, from time-to-time situations arise which are outside of our control and unfortunately when this happens we are unable to offer compensation. To further explain what happened on the day; air traffic control restrictions substantially regulated the air space, which resulted in long delays to flights as aircraft waited for air space βslotsβ to operate, sometimes for several hours. The delays continued throughout the day and knocked on to later flights. We do take reasonable measures to avoid delays and cancellations to our flights by having replacement crews and spare aircraft available in our network. In the circumstances, these options were not possible as the delay to this flight was as a direct result of air traffic control restrictions. Claiming expenses If you incurred additional expenses in NCE on the day when the flight was cancelled, delayed, or diverted. e.g you were asked to find a hotel room for the night of a cancelled flight, or onwards transport to your destination, then you may claim reasonable expenses, as set out in our expenses policy here. Claiming through your insurance Although, we donβt cover other costs such as, pre-booked hotel stays in your destination or pre-booked activities, your travel insurance may do. If you require a letter from us to make your claim, you can request this by completing our βcontact us formβ and selecting βinsurance claimβ from the dropdown menu. You can find out more about your rights following a cancellation, delay or diversion on our delays and cancellations page here. Thank you for your understanding and we hope to welcome you on board again soon. Kind regards, easyJet Customer Services- Nice-Athens

Problems at airport
We got no notification ahead of arriving at the airport and the first written communication we had with easyJet in relation to the cancelled flight was at the end of January. There were no next day flights home. We were left to organise our return home ourselves as their were not direct flights with easyJet until the following Thursday which was no good and they disappeared and the next one was a week later. We were told to book accommodation and flights through the app but this was not possible. I booked one night via booking.com and paid for two more nights in cash.

We contacted the airline by phone after being in the airport from 10:30am to 3, and were told we could get on a 5:30 flight but needed to be unboarded at the desk, and when we went to do it a man picked 5 people at random to board the flight and filled it. It was a shambles- Bristol-Glasgow

No alternative flight was offered within the subsequent 72 hours. Instead, airline staff advised us of the option to independently purchase tickets with another carrier, with the understanding that reimbursement could be requested at a later stage. However, only one night of hotel accommodation and the taxi transfer from the airport to the hotel were reimbursed. Expenses related to meals and refreshments were not covered. The cancellation of the flight was attributed to operational reasons. Under Regulation (EC) No 261/2004, passengers are entitled to specific rights in the event of flight cancellations. In particular: Pursuant to Article 5 and Article 8, passengers must be offered a choice between reimbursement of the ticket or re-routing at the earliest opportunity, under comparable transport conditions. Under Article 9 (Right to Care), the airline is obligated to provide meals and refreshments in a reasonable relation to the waiting time, as well as hotel accommodation where a stay of one or more nights becomes necessary, and transport between the airport and the place of accommodation. Additionally, where the cancellation is due to operational reasons (which are generally considered within the airlineβs control), passengers may also be entitled to compensation under Article 7, unless extraordinary circumstances can be demonstrated. In this case, the absence of re-routing within a reasonable timeframe, along with the failure to reimburse meal expenses, appears to be inconsistent with the obligations established under EU261/2004. As a result of this situation, we incurred approximately β¬900 in additional expenses, which have not been fully reimbursed. Only one night at the hotel and one taxi.- Palma de Mallorca-Lisbon

Our flight was scheduled to depart at 7:00 pm, but after joining the boarding queue we received no updates from easyJet staff. Despite repeatedly asking for information, no explanation was given, and the departure screens showed no delay. We were only informed at approximately 9:30 pm that the flight had been cancelled. My cousin had an onward flight the next day, but easyJet failed to provide a suitable alternative. While package holiday customers were offered replacement flights, the rest of us were told to make our own arrangements. As a result, my cousin missed her flight and had to pay Β£183 for a new ticket. After the cancellation, we waited another two hours to collect our luggage and did not leave the airport until around 11:00 pm. We also had to hire a rental car for Β£36. The lack of communication, delayed cancellation notice, and poor assistance caused unnecessary stress, financial loss, and inconvenience. I expect reimbursement for my additional expenses and appropriate compensation.- Tenerife-London

The flight was cancelled 20 min before flight. The reason: things out of the ailrine's control. However, in 2 hours I was flying with another carrier FR, I do have screenshot confirming that on the day another airline's were operating. There was no alternative flights offered, there was nobody from the EasuJet representative. I left alone with the cancelled flight and had to buy a new flight to a different directions what cost 350 EUR. The U2 denied my claim regarding expenses and also due to 261 EU Regulation.- Bari-Mulhouse

Unacceptable change to flight time
two weeks after booking flights to Prague for January 2027, an email from Easyjet tells me our return flight has been changed - brought forward by 6 hrs 45 mins, so that we are now leaving our hotel at c.7am and having to cancel any plans we had for that final morning. It's not that Easyjet do not have history (we suffered a double whammy in April - delay the flight out by a couple of hours, and similar on the way back) but this is ridiculous. And finding a way to speak to someone about it ? best of luck. Yep, I'm complaining ahead of what feels like an inevitable change to the flight out that will follow! Feels like misleading info on website.- Birmingham-Prague

Technical problems
We were standing in the queue to get on board and ten minutes before boarding they announced that our flight has been canceled for technical reasons. We got panicked and until we figure out that the airline does not help, their customer service kept saying that we should look on the the Easyjet app for any updates of the cancelation. We found out that they don't even find accommodation for us, we had to book a 3star hotel ourselves that my parents paid from their pocket and that they will refund us the money of everything we spent. No one of their employees knew how to treat that situation they all kept telling us we should look on the app, where there were also no updates to give any solutions to their customers. Horrible customer service and help at the airport too. When we spoke to a representer of Easyjet who supposetely knew more, he exchused the fact of the cancelation as "These are low cost flights". That was the answer he gave us opon our frustration and hustle. Until we figure that we have to book new flights on the spot, which costed us 1743chf, all the other direct flights for the next day were already sold out by the others. Easyjet did not even care to send us an email, suggesting hotels around the airport or to even book us a room and to rebook us for the next coming flight to Athens. 0 communication and care for the guests and what happens to them after the cancelation, they just canceled and gave us no solution too. Leaving is just with the option to get such expensive tickets for a transfer flight to Vienna and then from Vienna to Athens, which is also the double hustle as you may understand. Horrible customer service, horrible attitude, and disgustingly not caring about their customers. We lost so much money and time because of EasyJet, I had 4 days in Greece to enjoy off from my work, and because of this hustle I could only travel for 2 days instead. Easyjet took my money and my time and be very careful and considerate of you want to travel with them. They may have cheap flights as their way to attract customers, but in truth, within the hustle they will make you go through because of their either delays or last minute cancelations , in the end you will surely end up paying a ton more than you actually expected. Also, when something like that happens their customer service will not give any solutions, but instead they will tell you to look on the app, for any updates, which there were none at the time. Be advised to book with them at your own risk. I am never ever ever booking with this company again because they are a total fraud and the most important thing is how the treated the situation after they last minute canceled the flight. I never felt as helpless as at that time, EasyJet simply does not care about what happens to their customers after putting them in this trouble. If you are thinking of flying with them, you might have to rethink you decision very wisely because there is a high percentage of chance that you might not be able to fly!- Geneva-Athens

I am a diabetic patient and the long delay without proper assistance caused me significant medical distress. I was unable to manage my blood sugar levels properly due to lack of food at the right time and the stress of waiting. This put my health at serious risk. As a direct result of your delay, I also missed my scheduled train at 00:00 arrived too late for work and could not attend my shift on time.

Compensation Claim under EU Regulation 261/2004 β Flight Cancellation
My original flight, operated by EasyJet, was scheduled to depart on 4 January to Sharm el-Sheikh. I was informed that the flight had been cancelled and was rebooked on a replacement flight departing on 7 January β a delay of three days. As the cancellation resulted in my arriving at my final destination more than three hours later than originally scheduled, I am entitled to compensation of β¬600 under Article 7 of EU Regulation 261/2004. I therefore request that EasyJet pay me β¬600 in compensation at your earliest convenience. Please confirm receipt of this claim and provide a response within 14 days.Overall

The flight was cancelled for the 3rd of June 2026. The flights available for replacement were in different dates, and the same date ones required 1 stop in a different country. From 3h flight would go up to 9h flight. I have requested a refund which they have returned only Β£241.40. We had a return flight that was in total Β£620including bags. Half would be expected but easyJet did not return half the amount spent. Another flight was bought through jet2.com that flight was Β£363.27. This flight was for 4people.

When at the airport after sitting for hours the flight turned up. They let us to gate and said sorry the flights been cancelled.due to staff working too many hours. Surely first they were aware of this secondly I feel thatv8s there fault by providing staff that they were aware before the plane departed from England to collect us that they were fully aware staff would of worked to there allowed hours . We were then sat at airport . Not told anything and in the end they gave us an air b and b type place that wasn't fit for purpose . There was no fire alarms wires hanging out of walls no carbon monoxide sensors .the place was completely uninhabitable. I had to pay for air b and b and all expenses to do with that to get out of the place. I have all photos of the apartment type place they gave us . With young kids. This is the worse experience we have ever had in our life. How they can saybis for circumstances out of there control and then give such poor customer service is disgusting and we will never fly with them again. We finally arrived at Gatwick at 1430 the airline only told us the next day after cancellation that we had a flight the day after. The only care they provided was the apartment that was unsafe and uninhabitable. This has caused such a disruption to missed doctors appointments and missed a day of school for children . I had to fund everything else myself . Taxis food water air b and b upset children .stuck outside an airport until 4am and it was cold . Lumbering all luggage .

Part of the passengers were already through the seat (and passport) control, when everything stopped. We waited for about 3 hours, without any communication. The flight was off the informationboard. Then the lady who had checked seats and passports informed me that the flight was cancelled. So I booked another flight (at another airline as Easyjet wasn't flying the next day) for the next morning and left the airport. When I arrived the next morning I found out that in the end the plane had left at 11 o'clock in the evening. And I have never received any message. So I had to pay β¬ 175 for a new ticket and incurred cost for taxi and one night (I don't have receipts). I have been in contact with Easyjet immediately and they have had me waiting, although I have frequently mailed, until today to inform me that I get my ticketprice back. That is it.- Malaga-Amsterdam

Technical problems
Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against easyJet concerning the cancellation of my flight and the airlineβs subsequent refusal to pay the compensation provided under EU Regulation (EC) No. 261/2004. The flight was delayed overnight by easyJet, and the airline has refused to compensate the β¬400 compensation owed, alleging that the cancellation was due to force majeure, specifically low temperatures (around β20Β°C) in Rovaniemi. This justification is clearly unfounded for the following reasons: Temperatures around β20Β°C are entirely normal and foreseeable in Rovaniemi, particularly during the winter season. Such conditions cannot reasonably be considered extraordinary or force majeure in this context. The pilot explicitly stated (in a video recorded at the airport) that the cause of the cancellation was a technical fault of the aircraft, which is explicitly not considered an extraordinary circumstance under established EU case law and Regulation 261/2004. As a result of the cancellation, passengers were accommodated in a hotel, but we were only able to go to bed at approximately 02:00 a.m. and had to wake up early the following morning, resulting in significant inconvenience and fatigue. No compensation or reimbursement was offered for taxi expenses, despite these being incurred as a direct consequence of the cancellation and the airlineβs duty of care obligations. Based on the above, it is evident that: The cancellation was caused by a technical issue under the airlineβs responsibility; The refusal to pay compensation is not compliant with EU Regulation 261/2004; easyJet has failed to fully meet its obligations regarding passenger care and expense reimbursement. I respectfully request that the Civil Aviation Authority review this case and take the appropriate action to ensure compliance with EU passenger rights legislation. I have attached all the documentation, including booking details, correspondence with the airline, and the video statement from the pilot confirming the technical nature of the issue. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response. Yours faithfully, Marco Conservo- Rovaniemi-Milano
