I arrived in Belfast Int Airport approx 13.00, then onto the bus at 13.17 meaning I did not arrive at my final destination until after 14.00. I had arranged to meet my friends for lunch at 12 as we were away for celebrations however missed this as a result. There was no information from the airline, I recieved the information of the flight board which simply said it was delayed. A fellow customer advised me to make a claim. I was inconvenienced due to the lateness of my arrival.- Birmingham-Belfast

Was delayed by over 4 hours. So didnβt even manage to set off from Bristol until 9pm, with a 3.5hour journey ahead of us. As we live in Pembrokeshire, we didnβt arrive back until early hours of August the 3rd. We also had to then eat out in the evening which was an expense we didnβt originally factor in. And both also had to be up for work early on the same morning. The airline granted us a measley small chocolate bar and can of pop, after missing out on lunch waiting at our boarding. We had plans on the evening of our arrival to see family, but missed out on this opportunity too.- Olbia-Bristol

Influence by other flights
I filled in the expense claims request form on the easyjet website, provide receipts and have been reimbursed for all the extra costs (hotel/meals/train, to return home). (I opted for the flight from LGW to Paris CDG on the 4 August and then took a train from Paris to Aix-en-Provence TGV). I also filled in the compensation claim form on the easyjet website and received the following reply today: Compensation Claim Assessment Claim received: 03-08-2025 Flight Number: 8441 Flight Date: 03-08-2025 Dear Emma, Thank you for getting in touch. Weβre very sorry that your flight from LGW to MRS was CANCELLATION We always review claims fairly and in keeping with EU/UK regulation. When a flight is cancelled, all customers are entitled to switch to a new flight for free, request a full refund, or a voucher for future travel. However, as your flight needed to be cancelled for reasons outside of our control, unfortunately weβre unable to offer you compensation as well. To further explain what happened on the day; air traffic control restrictions at London Gatwick 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. Ultimately and in the case of this flight, the delays pushed our crew into their maximum legal operating hours. 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. In the circumstances, these options were not possible as the cancellation to your flight was a direct result of air traffic control restrictions. Claiming expenses If you incurred additional expenses in LGW 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- London-Marseille

The flight was cancelled and I was rebooked for a flight the next day with TAP Airlines. EasyJet booked a hotel for me for one night. I incured additional charges for taxis and food, however those were reimbursed by EasyJet later on. However, when I asked for the cancellation compensation they said the cancellation was due to operational reasons. Here is EasyJetβs response: Thank you for getting in touch. Weβre very sorry that your flight from BCN to LIS was CANCELLATION We always review claims fairly and in keeping with EU/UK regulation.

Technical problems
We boarded the plane, and after 1.5 hours we were told there was a technical problem and we were disembarked. We spent the night in a hotel, and today we have our return flight at 5 pm, which means an 18-hour delay. EasyJet told us that the flight had not been cancelled, just postponed to the following day. The new flight is EZY9708- Madrid-Bristol

EasyJetβs policy appears to be that they will refund my hotel costs, which I am pursuing directly with them. However, they seem unwilling to cover the cost of my alternative flight (β¬398.57). The cancellation occurred at 20.30 while I was already at the airport, on my way to the gate, having checked in and cleared security. I explained to them that the options they offered would not have got me back to London until the end of the following day, meaning I would have missed an urgent meeting I needed to attend on Monday. As I could not take any of the flights they suggested, I had no choice but to purchase a flight that would get me back to London as quickly as possible on Monday morning.- Schonefeld-London

Our flight was cancelled and all other flights to UK were also cancelled so we had to arrange ourselves a hotel to stay at until the following day when we were able to book a different flight.. Easy jet could only offer us a flight at 8 or 9pm the following day but due to work commitments we had to be back in the UK so had to book an earlier flight..- Amsterdam-London

When we arrived at the airport we saw that the flight was delayed. Eventually they called out the gate number and upon arrival they stated they had changed the plane. Subsequently, one passenger (Ilham) was notified that she no longer has a seat and we must wait until the very end to see if a seat is available. We ended up getting a seat for her (we had originally paid for her seat aswell but received no compensation). There were more delays as a lot of chaos ensued and eventually we reached our destination just over 3 hours over the scheduled arrival. I had also provided a screenshot of what easyjet recorded that day.- London-Marrakech

My flight was cancelled from the airline five minutes after scheduled departure with the provided reason being insufficient staff to support the flight. The alternative options offered were flight with the airline, which the only available was the next day with scheduled arrival time after 24hours from the originally planned time. Also the only options were either choose an alternative flight or choose to stay in a hotel overnight, neither of which were actually sorting out the problem of the flight cancellation. My checked in suitcase as well was returned to me with one wheel less. The only option was to find an alternative option on my own to reach my destination and make it for my master's degree exams. I chose to spend the night in the alternative airport without booking a hotel as the whole situation was so costly. I had to spend extra money for my transport to the other airport as the WizzAir flight was the cheapest one I could find, extra money for the flight which was very costly and for food.- London-Athens

I flight was cancelled twenty minutes before boarding. I went to the front desk who could not help me so I went online. They booked me a flight the next morning @8.50. I was offers a hotel 12 miles away which I excepted. I was then advised to speak to staff who could not help me but said I had to pay a taxi to and from the hotel. My sister then collected me and took me home 60 miles away and back to the airport. This is all that was offered to me. I missed my friends birthday party. I had to fly to Luton and wait 5 hours for a flight. Altogether I missed a full day of my travel. This cost me money as I had to pay my sister for petrol and I had to buy myself food at both Belfast and Luton airport- Belfast-Amsterdam

Problems at airport
My family were due to fly from Marrakesh to London Southend on the 15th July. Sadly a plan crashed on the runway the day before and Southend Airport was closed. We were trying to contact EasyJet for updates but all updates were on the App. The App was out of date by over 18 hours. Up to pickup time at our hotel we were lead to believe we would return to Southend on time. The flight was due to take off at 19:10. At 16:48 I received an email informing us that our flight would no longer be landing at Southend but now going to Gatwick. We discovered this when ourselves when we arrived at the airport. Iβm now sat in the departure lounge gate trying to find means to get from Gatwick South to Southend where our car was parked. Once on the plane the pilot apologised for the diversion and announced all expenses incurred (reasonable and necessary) would be reimbursed we just needed to put a claim in. We followed the advice which was reiterated on the App and I booked a taxi to take us to Southend to pickup our car at 11:15pm. It caused great inconvenience but I only claimed for the Taxi fare as we had receipts for this. I put in my claim (Receipt attached) with the full expectation that I would receive a refund. I received an email back telling me that and I quote Our team has now reviewed your claim and can confirm that your flight was not disrupted, therefore you are not entitled to reimbursement of the claimed expenses. I think if I booked to fly from one airport to another and that failed to happen for whatever reason this is surely breach of contract?? I appreciate force majeure but there is a duty of care owed and in this instance failed and the statements made in writing and in person are embedded in the execution of the contract.- Marrakech-Southend

Bristol airport staff making assumptions
There was a German woman and who I assume was her daughter. They had paid for a cabin case so were entitled to overhead locker space AND an under seat bag. However, the staff before the gate assumed they only had under seat bag and was quite rude about it, and telling her shed have to pay (and not in a kind tone of voice). They spoke very little English, so I stepped in to help, understood she had paid for cabin bag and explained this to the staff. He thanked me, but made no apology to her. This is not acceptable and I think you need to ensure your staff are checking boarding passes BEFORE they start demanding additional payment from passengers. I'm glad I was there to help, but I shouldn't need to. She should have been able to show her boarding pass BEFORE additional payment was demanded!- Economy

The flight was delayed by over four hours, arriving at approximately 02:40 instead of the scheduled 22:15. No food, drinks, or assistance were provided during the delay. The late arrival made it significantly harder and more expensive to reach the city centre due to limited transport options at that time.- Izmir-London

My partner had to take another day unpaid leave for the disruption, do we then claim this back? Also we were informed in the airport due to adverse weather (thunder and lighting) was the reason the flight was delayed/cancelled. Our flight on the next day was also delayed but not by enough to get compensation. Can you look into this please as there has been false information given to Easyjet customers. Also, we had to pay extra for our delayed parking, we didn't get any receipt etc for this just charge on the bank statement. Is this enough to put in?- Paris-Bristol

Weather conditions
Although the flight was initially delayed due to weather conditions, which were outside your control, my claim is based on the fact that the runway and airport opened at 1220hrs that day. Ryanair and Jet 2 flights were flying from this time, Easyjet flights were not and it was evident that Easyjet were unorganised and no updates or information was provided. Al Easyjet flights from Liverpool were affected that day, with a number of flights being cancelled. The flight departure boards provided several flight times for EZY4HG18. We were eventually called for our flight and boarded a transfer bus at 1530hrs that day, only to find we had to wait on the b u s for over 30minutes and then be returned to the terminal. We eventually boarded a plane, which took off at 1855hrs.- Liverpool-Geneva

We had two connected flights: Flight EJU3588 from OLB to MXP Flight EJU7674 from MXP to LIS However, our first flight from OLB to MXP was delayed by three hours due to a technical issue on the aircraft and also due to missing engineering bureaucracy . By the time we reached the gate in Milan for our second flight, we had already missed it. Unfortunately, all EasyJet flights to Lisbon for the day were fully booked. With no other immediate options available, we were forced to purchase tickets with TAP Air to get to our destination. Additionally, we had to spend the night at the airport waiting for the next available flight.- Olbia-Lisbon

We waited at the gate and we got no explanation why the flight was delayed. Cabin crew waited as well. There were no people at the gate working either...after midnight we got worried because suddenly the screen changes to cancelled. Around 2 or 3 in the night we were informed to go to a hotel nearby and that we would be scheduled to the new flight. We didnt got much information necause it was during night and nobody working....- Paris-Palma de Mallorca

The flight was continually delayed at the airport, with minimal updates from staff. They told us a new plane was coming for us at 1am, so we waited in the airport for hours and hours. Then a further update said the plane wouldnt arrive until 4am for us. The airline gave us vouchers so I was able to have water and a snack. But it was very distressing waiting on my own, with no assurance of when I would get home. Around 12.30 they told us the new flight was not coming and told us to book hotels, which we did through a link easyjet sent. People at the airport were getting upset, it was a stressful environment. The updates at the airport were extremely confusing, with different information being shared and I was getting very distressed. There was also very few staff, so noone to ask questions to. The staff at the airport informed us that we would be entitled to compensation. Once at the hotel, the check-in process was extremely long and I got to my room around 3am. The airline sent us details of another flight at 11am the next day. I arrived at Gatwick around 13.25. It was a very distressing and exhausting couple of days. I was meant to see friends for a birthday on the 24 July, which I had to cancel as I was exhausted and felt ill from not sleeping.- Palma de Mallorca-London
