Airlines operating in the EU, including Easyjet, must follow EC261/2004. This regulation outlines compensation for passengers in the event of flight disruptions.
If a flight delay lasts more than three hours, airlines must compensate you. compensation amounts depend on flight distance and delay time, and can range from €250 to €600.
The same compensation amounts are also available to passengers with cancelled flights, but passengers must receive less than 14 days notice of their cancellation. The cause of flight disruptions must be due to reasons within the airline's control.
To claim compensation, fill out a claim compensation form with the details of your flight and your personal information. The airline will get back to you when they make a decision on your claim.
Sometimes airlines reject compensation claims. To avoid this, make sure you provide sufficient information and a detailed explanation of why you think you deserve compensation.
Compensation companies, like Skycop, can communicate with airlines on your behalf and appeal compensation claim rejections. You can find Skycop at: https://www.skycop.com/compensation/easyjet/.
Weather conditions can differ significantly even if your destination is not far away. Look up potential weather conditions at your destination and the appropriate clothing.
Navigating through airports is usually easy, as signs mark directions for baggage claims and passport control. Simply follow the signs and hire a taxi from the designated taxi zone.
Many cities have efficient public transport to take you to the football stadium from the airport. However, it's usually more convenient to go to your accommodation first, make a plan and then head to the stadium.
To be safe at football matches, stay away from large crowds, especially when they appear violent or many people are intoxicated. Since you're in an unfamiliar city, be aware of any unsafe neighbourhoods and use licensed taxis or ride-sharing apps.
With routes to Barcelona, Amsterdam, Madrid, Munich, Paris, Milan and Manchester, Easyjet makes it easy to see some of the greatest clubs and players in football. In the event of a cancellation, Easyjet will find you an alternate flight so you can make your game on time.
If you experience a flight disruption, you are also entitled to compensation. If airlines don't pay compensation, you can appeal their decision or hire companies like Skycop to advocate on your behalf. For a hassle-free football match, plan ahead to get good tickets and give yourself lots of time to make it to the match.
