✈️ easyJet Flight Delay: what to do and how to get compensation summer 2025
Summer is around the corner, and with it millions of travelers ready to fly with easyJet. But beware: delays are more frequent than you might think. If you’re planning to fly with easyJet in summer 2025, it’s important to know that, in case of delay, you may be entitled to compensation of up to €600.
Often, passengers’ frustration is made worse by the lack of clear information: what can you do? Who should you contact? The good news is that European Regulation EC 261/2004 provides clear protections for passengers in cases of disruptions, including delays.
Why easyJet may suffer delays in summer
The summer months are critical for European air transport. The main reasons for delays include:
-
Congested air traffic at major airports
-
Adverse weather conditions typical of summer days
-
Technical or organizational issues within the airline
-
Delays on previous flights causing a domino effect on scheduling
During the summer, European air traffic increases by 30–40%, and even a small glitch can compromise the regularity of routes. Since easyJet operates on many short-haul European routes, it is particularly exposed to these risks.
What the law says: compensation and assistance
According to European Regulation EC 261/2004, if your flight arrives at its destination more than 3 hours late, and the reason is attributable to the airline, you are entitled to automatic financial compensation. The amount depends on the distance of the flight:
-
€250 for flights under 1,500 km
-
€400 for flights between 1,500 and 3,500 km
-
€600 for flights over 3,500 km
In addition to compensation, you are entitled to:
-
Airport assistance (meals, drinks, accommodation if necessary)
-
Ticket refund or alternative flight, if the delay exceeds 5 hours
-
Free communications to contact family or assistance
Extreme weather conditions and strikes may constitute exceptions, but in most delays caused by technical or operational reasons, easyJet is required to compensate.
