Economy

No reason given

We are family of 3 passengers, who were supposed to travel from Hamburg to Basel and the flight was cancelled 3 hours before departure. When I requested for a alternative flight (the next day), I was also denied that by Easyjet. Unfortunately our vacation plan was cancelled and we lost non-refundable hotel stay for 630CHF. Then I applied for compensation for all 3 passengers and only 1 'Akshata Saini' passenger received compensation of 250€ and the other 2 still don't have(denied) because of ridiculous excuses, and I am tired of talking to them.

Athens-Edinburgh

Economy

No reason given

The flight was originally scheduled to arrive in Edinburgh at 11 p.m., but it was delayed until a 3 a.m. departure from Athens (local time). This was due to a technical issue that delayed the aircraft’s previous flight and caused it to divert. As a result, our flight was rescheduled to land in Edinburgh at 5:30 a.m. Then, at 9:54 p.m. Athens time, a layover in Milan Malpensa was added because the crew had reached their maximum working hours and required a quick changeover. This further delayed our arrival time to 6:30 a.m. in Edinburgh. Even without the additional layover caused by the crew’s working hours, the flight was already going to be significantly delayed beyond the original scheduleβ€”meeting the threshold for compensation, which the airline is now trying to avoid paying by claiming the delay was due to crew working hours

Re: Awaiting refund required for wrongful charges on large cabin bag

I was a passenger travelling with Easy Jet on 30/10/25 from LWG to EDI at 14:50. My Airline booking reference is KB874LT. After clearing my bag drop, I proceeded to the boarding gate to catch my flight. At the boarding gate several passengers including myself was taken out of the line to make payment of Β£48.00 for large cabin bags. I asked the staff why I needed to make payment and showed her my speedy boarding ticket which allowed me 1 small under-seat bag, 1 large cabin bag and 1 23kg bag (which was checked in). The staff said she was sorry but I needed to pay and asked if I did not receive the email. I realise that I was holding up the queue and I also thought that maybe some changes were made in the 2 weeks I was away and so I made the payment of Β£48.00. After checking with my husband who booked the ticket and confirming that I never needed to pay, I returned to the staff. She immediately read my ticket and apologised for her error. She and the other staff logged a ticket for the error and for evidence to support my refund. They advised me to contact customer service for the refund. I have been trying unsuccessfully all day today to get my refund. Every customer service person stated that they were unable to refund my money despite seeing the note logged by the staff who made the error. I also forwarded the receipt to customer service but it was badly torn by the Easy Jet staff and only showed apart of the payment. I have emailed Easyjet customer service and is still awaiting my refund.

Overall

  • close Being double charge for large cabin bag
  • closecheck Staff at baording gate was apologetic for their error. They made effort to email customer service for me to get my refund

Dear easy jet Customer Service, I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction with the handling of my recent flight and the significant inconvenience and financial losses I have suffered. Berlin - Paris Name Class Airline Booking Reference Economy KBGTBWM ADELINA MARATOVA Flight Information Berlin - Paris Departure Arrival 21:20, November 2, 2025, Berlin Brandenburg Airport T1 23:10, November 2, 2025, Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport T2D Airline easyJet U24634 WAS CHANGED TO Berlin - Paris β€ͺ|‬ November 3, 2025 12:30 BER Berlin Brandenburg Airport T1 14:20 CDG Paris Charles de Due to this change, I initially attempted to cancel the flight, then agreed to an alternative flight at 06:00, and later requested to cancel again. I was informed that β€œno refund would be issued.” This response is unacceptable because: 1. The flight change forced me to cover hotel and meal expenses out of my own pocket. 2. The airline provided no support for these additional costs. 3. Under Regulation (EC) No. 261/2004 and standard industry practice, passengers are entitled to compensation and reimbursement of additional expenses in the case of significant flight changes. Accordingly, I demand: β€’ Full reimbursement for the hotel and meal expenses I incurred. β€’ Compensation for the inconvenience and distress caused. β€’ Written confirmation of the amount and timeline for this compensation. If these demands are not met within the legally required timeframe, I will have no choice but to escalate the matter to consumer protection auth

I thus contacted the airline to get my reimbursement. As you can see the transcript, I didn't even get reimbursed for my original cancelled flight. I hope you can help me get my money back.

I checked in on-line for my wife and I from Bristol to Barcelona on 18/10/25 returning from Rome to Bristol on 28/10/25 for i underseat bag and 1x23kg bag each. When printing the check-in it showed 1 underseat bag and 3 x 23kg bag each. Unfortunately they would not change it to 1 x 23kg bag each and now wish to charge me approx Β£170 for the extra hold luggage which I do not require even if they change the booking. The on-line check in system is misleading if you click for 1 x 23kg hold baggage

Problems at airport

Our flight was first delayed, we were waiting in the airplane while they were figuring it out. Due to hacker attack in Berlin airport they couldnt accept us in Berlin so they routed us to Hannover airplane, from which they would take us back to Berlin by a bus. When we arrived to Hannover airport, we (and many other passengers) had to pick up our luggage and by the time we reached airport the bus has been full and left without us. We were left to stand there on the cold (it was 7 degrees temp at night and we just arrived from 30 degrees heat in Turkey) for 2 hours! For 2 hours we and other passengers were just waiting on the cold completely frustrated without any information or guidance, while the taxi drivers were trying to pursue us to pay 900eur for a taxi trip to Berlin. Eventually at around 4 in the morning came two buses - the drivers were clueless at first and had no idea if they should board easyJet passengers or not but eventually they took us to Berlin and we have arrived to BER airport at around 8 in the morning, making it a very big delay. I wonder why didnt they keep us in Antalya airport until the morning and fly us then, and instead took us to Hannover and stressed us all out? I find it unfair.

Tirana-London

Influence by other flights

We were supposed to depart from Tirana to Geneva at 15:30. The delay lasted for 45-50 mins. Our changeover was 1hr and 20 mins. This caused us to reach Geneva airport at 18:20. The gate closed at 18:30, making it impossible to reach on time. What made this situation even more painful was that we were returning from a funeral - emotionally and physically exhausted. This added stress and confusion at the airport, overwhelmed my mom to the point where she broke down crying. We felt helpless and unsupported during a time when we were already grieving. When contacting EasyJet, they were pretty adamant on their stance, stating 'it was less than 3 hrs' but we didn't reach Gatwick till 22:30. So overall, our journey was more than 3hrs and on top of that, I had to pay for another flight at Geneva so we could get home the same day. We also ended up waiting more at Geneva airport (to get to Gatwick) because they had delays as well. We were supposed to depart at 20:25 and ended up leaving round 21:30 to 21:45. My mom had to be at work the next day, so we were under a lot of pressure. For the journey to Tirana > Geneva > London I paid = Β£573.99 Then I paid again from Geneva > London = Β£264.79 Please can you help us. Thank you.

Claim escalated to airline

No reason given

Hi, I hope you're well. In addition to the claim for the flight being delayed overnight, I also would like to see if you could pursue further claims. If not, please tell me what the best course of action is from here: - As the flight was delayed overnight, easy jet booked hotels for us, and mentioned to check with ground staff once off the plane. Once off the plane, there was no ground staff. The hotel booking mail came through, and we did, however, once we arrived, the hotel did not take any customers, didn't have enough rooms, and was unaware that any rooms were booked (even though we all received confirmation emails of the reservation by easy-jet). No support was reachable for easy-jet, the only thing was the chatbot, that was no help whatsoever. We therefore had to make our way back to my home, hence the taxis. We had to bin 3 bottles of wine, bought in duty-free, on request of security, upon re-entry of the airport the next day. Here again, tried multiple times getting information on how to proceed, and was unable to get any information. A lot of passengers, including young women, were left without accomodation, in the middle of town (as easy jet sent hotel reservation confirmations), without accomodation, around 4 AM. I would therefore like to see if further compensation can be claimed for this, as the hotel was not accepting customers + taxis to get to it and back from it + food for breakfast/lunch, as the flight only left around 14:40. IN ADDITION to this, the replacement flight landed around 90 minutes late, due to some difficulties on easy jet's side. Let me know if I might be better off complaining to easy-jet directly, or if you're able to help with all the above points + the basic claim. Please see Louisa Kelly’s claim’s additional details as this describes in detail both our situation.

Claim escalated to airline

No reason given

Plane was meant to take off at 21:35. We have not received any announcement by Nice Airport or easy-jet that the flight is delayed, at any point. Even the screen boards, still showed the flight as leaving on time, at 4 AM, when we left. ALL INFORMATION IS FROM EASY-JET APP ONLY, no announcements, no in-person announcements: - Original delay: plane arrived late as landed late from previous flight - 23:00 local time, started boarding, got through to the air bridge, and waited there. Again, no information was given, and we were made to wait there for 45 minutes to an hour, in the air bridge, which was freezing cold (air conditioned), no where to sit apart from the floor. - Around the end of those 45 minutes, the pilot came and explained following: Plane was struck by lightning upon arrival, easyjet had to wait for engineers to come and look at it, clean it, and see if possible to fix. The women from Nice Airport said it'll be done within an hour. The pilot later said they won't know, it might be tonight, it might not be. - We were told to expect an update at 00:00, where nothing happened, didn't get more information, but were allowed to get off the airbridge and back in the waiting lounge. At no point, did we get water or food vouchers, or food, or any announcements were made. The representatives from easy jet were not present during that time, and left, so there was no one to speak to/ask either. - We boarded again at 0127, and got on the plane. Plane taxied to the runway, and nothing happened until 03:00. We were told at this point that we can't fly due to the weather window being over - no announcements were made before this. - Taxied back, and (crew) explained following: Easyjet will arrange travel to and from hotels, and send us a link to book a hotel overnight. We waited a bit longer, nothing was coming through, and sat in the plane up to 3:40, when we actually disembarked. Easyjet crew told us people would be waiting for us, and will help us out in the airport. However, at this point, in the airport, there wasn't a single person (from Nice airport OR easyjet). In addition, by this point we still hadn't received the hotel reservation link from easyjet + customer support from easy jet was closed. - Eventually, we received the hotel reservation link shortly before 04:00. We got on and managed to book a hotel, for which we received a confirmation of reservation from easy-jet. - As there was no staff there, we tried booking taxis ourselves, but as two FULL easy jet planes were cancelled, everyone was, and this was at 04:00 in Nice airport (relatively small). - Around 04:30, we managed to get to the hotel, were there was already a queue of roughly 18 people infront of us, waiting to get checked in. - The receptionist didn't speak a word of english, but one of the passengers helped with translation. He worked there since only a week, and the hotel didn't receive ANY reservations confirmations from EasyJet (we will later learn that this happened in other hotels too with other passengers), AND only had 4 rooms available (even though by this point, over 20 people had reservation confirmations for that hotel). There was a lot of back and forth, and him calling his boss, eventually he mentioned that we could get the rooms by paying for them, but would have to check out at 10:00 am. As there weren't enough rooms for everyone, a lot of passengers went back to the airport to sleep on the chairs there. The two of us were able to get back to my family home by booking another uber, and arrived at 05:21. ------------ We made our way back to the airport on the "same" day, to get the new flight that was given for 14:40. As we had bought 3 wine bottles from duty free, we had to get rid of them to get through security again. No provisions were made to accommodate this, leading to another loss of 25+ euros. To our horror, this second flight was then also late. They would later (when we were on the plane) mention that it's because air traffic control restrictions. But again, no announcements by terminal staff or easy jet representatives. It was meant to take off at 14:40, we boarded around 15:17, and took off at 16:10. We landed at 17:17 (local time UK), when we were meant to land at 16:00. Throughout this, we had to spend/lost money on the following: - Duty free items bought before the first flight - 2x Uber rides - Food for lunch We're both seeking compensation for the following: - Additional expenses incurred - For the overnight delay, and the delay on the new flight - For the lack of accommodation provided by easyjet, kicking us off the flight at 04:00 without providing us any further information to help us, and later providing us with "fake" hotel reservation confirmations. - Because of this, I missed a full day of work, that I will not get paid for, and my partner, their first day at University. All of this happened in storming rain, to add to the discomfort of having to find taxis and spending most of the night outside.

Please see PDF of detailed explanation and photos of evidence. Dear Air Advisor, RE: ALC->LGW 12th September 2025 0955 LT departure denied boarding. I had originally booked a staff travel β€œStandby” flight ALC-LGW at 0955LT via the staff travel website. On Tuesday 9th September I received an email confirming that my ticket had turned into a β€œCONFIRMED SEAT” Ticket, which guarenteed me a seat on the flight. See image below. This allowed me to call and add a bag onto the booking as it was a confirmed flight. On Thursday 11th I received an email stating that the aircraft type has been changed. This did not impact me as I had a confirmed seat and would be checking in on the app. When I went to check in on the app, I uploaded my traveller information and then was unable to check in and receive my boarding card. It said to check in at the airport. Which I did. Upon arriving at the airport, I was provided a blank ticket and told the aircraft was overbooked. As I had previously had a confirmed seat, I was told the plane was overbooked and I would be issued a seat at the gate. The Easyjet app informed me of my rights: I was the last passenger allowed to board, two other travellers with "standby"boarding cards got on, I was the only one to be denied boarding due to the flight being overbooked. The Easyjet staff provided me a paper hand out of my β€œrights” and informed me that I would be placed on the next flight departing at 12:40 (which was delayed until 13:05) and would be provided compensation from Easyjet. I was issued 2 more boarding cards, the flight was delayed and I had to wait by the gates for an additional 3 hours. 32.95 euros spent on food/drink whilst waiting. I applied for EU261 compensation via the easyJet website and received the following reply, stating I wasn’t entitled due to it being a β€œstaff standby” ticket. I would not apply for EU261 compensation if I was on a regualr staff standby ticket, however the ticket had been turned into a confirmed seat on the Tuesday (3 days before the flight), so was a regular flight travel ticket and I believe that in this instance that I am classed under the EU261 customer consumer rights. The significant delay in my travel, caused significant delay and disruption to my plans on the Friday. I would be grateful if you could investigate whether this can be treated as a EU261 claim under consumer law. Many thanks for your help.

No reason given

EasyJet cancelled the flight in the days before the expected departure with no clear details as to why in the email, just a vague explanation. We had to rebook onto a later return flight which meant some unexpected expenditure on food and drink. We had to contact the car parking company to ensure we didn’t occur extra costs. No receipts were kept as we didn’t know about any compensation but transaction details would be available via bank statements etc…

No reason given

Originally my flight was at 9:09 pm. While I was waiting in front of the gate, first a delay was announced. Afterwards, they announced that the flight got cancelled. This happened around 8pm. I had to wait in the airport to receive back my checked-in luggage. Easyjet offered alternative flights for 05.09.2025 but none of them were direct flights. Some of them were flying first to London, which I don’t have visa for. At the end, I had to book a train ticket for 6 am and a hotel room for that night. I arrived Berlin on 05.09 at 12pm.

Claim escalated to airline

Technical problems

Arrived at the airport as informed to by app. Confirmed there was delay even though all airport screens were advising that it was due depart on time. Then advised it had been delayed by 40mins for this time to pass and then went to cancelled. Lots of confusion especially with lack of support at the gate, some flight only & some package holidays. Messaged to say flight would be rearranged & need to find and book hotel & collect bags from arrivals pay for transport to & from airport to hotel. Eventually got confirmation flight had been rebooked for the following evening (31st) hotel had been booked nearby but would need still pay for the transport to and from at the time. We didn’t have medication due to extended stay or no additional clean clothing or underwear. It was my daughter’s prearranged 18th Birthday Meal with family on the Saturday 31st where family members had travelled from across the country which had to cancel due to the flight being delayed on 30th Aug and not arriving back in time.

Chaos management, terrible customer service.

We didnt book ticket from Easyjet since months. Then 295,59€ (249GBP) is from credit card deduct and paid to Easyjet. We contacted Easyjet since 2 months through emails and phone calls. Hotline customer service say that only write email. Emails replies from Easyjet are just automatic reply, they dont even read what we wrote in the Email. Making phone calls again and they say sorry they cannot help. Bankstatement, transaction reference number, time, date, everything provided. In two months, they can track nothing. Easyjet is a joke. No responsiblitity, no service, nothing.

This is what the airline said one of our suppliers at the airport was unable to complete the required tasks within a reasonable time for us to operate your flight safely. Ultimately and in the case of this flight, the delays pushed our crew into their maximum legal operating hours.

Successful claim

No reason given

The scheduled departure time was 21:15, and I only received notification of the cancellation at 17:50 on the same day. No specific reason for the cancellation was provided. Although the ticket price for the cancelled flight has been refunded, I was forced to purchase an alternative flight in order to reach my destination. This replacement ticket cost more than twice the price of the original booking. At the time of cancellation, easyJet offered me alternative flights, but none were suitable within the next 48 hours. Since no timely re-routing was available, I had no choice but to arrange my own travel. I have already contacted easyjet customer service team to claim reimbursement of the additional expenses, but my requests have been declined. If you need anything else to clarify, I am at your disposal. Thank you in advance

First, my flight was announced as delayed, and eventually I was informed that it had been cancelled after the originally scheduled departure time. The flight was supposed to depart on Friday, 15 August, but I was only able to travel to Amsterdam on Sunday, 17 August, since all flights on that day and the following day were fully booked. The company never informed about the reasons of the cancellation until I was denied my compensation claim (see doc attached). I’m waiting for them to reply about my expenses claim and that’s why I have no added that here.

Edinburgh-Amsterdam

No reason given

I am writing to formally request compensation for the considerable inconvenience and expenses incurred as a result of the cancellation of our flight on 17.08.2025. Our flight was cancelled without any alternative flight being offered on the same day or the day after. We were provided with hotel accommodation for only one night, despite no onward travel being available the following day. Additionally, no transportation was arranged between the airport and the hotel, and we received no vouchers or assistance for food or drinks during the waiting period. As a result, we were forced to cover all related costs ourselves. On the following day, we managed to book an alternative flight to Germany with Ryanair, which departed at around 8:30 p.m. This flight was arranged at our own expense. Please note that although we are residents of Germany, we had originally flown out of Amsterdam Airport as it best suited our travel schedule. Due to the cancellation, we were required to extend our parking duration at the shuttle service in Amsterdam, incurring an additional cost of €60. Furthermore, upon returning to Germany via the alternative flight, we had to travel back to Amsterdam by train to collect our car, which involved additional time and transportation costs. In light of the above, I am requesting full compensation for: full refund for the cancelled flight from Edinburgh to Amsterdam on Easyjet. The cost of the alternative return Ryanair flight from Edinburgh TO DΓΌsseldorf in Germany (2 Tickets) Extended parking fees at Amsterdam Airport (€60) Train fare from Germany to Amsterdam to retrieve our vehicle (2 Tickets) Transportations between the airport and hotel ( 2 Tickets each) Meals and refreshments during the delay These expenses were directly caused by the cancellation of our original flight and the lack of adequate support or rebooking options from Easyjet's side. I look forward to your prompt response and a fair resolution of this matter in accordance with EU Regulation
