Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Alicante and Belfast with Jet2.com? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.
Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 1 870 km of flight, the company Jet2.com is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.
Why are you entitled to 400 €?
The European Regulation EC 261/2004 is very strict regarding air passenger rights. The amount of fixed compensation does not depend on the price of your ticket, but only on the flight distance.

- Departure airport: Alicante International Airport (ALC)
- Arrival airport: Belfast International Airport (BFS)
- Flight distance: 1 870 km (~2h20)
- Applicable compensation: 400 €
This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.
How to know if the flight Jet2.com Alicante - Belfast is eligible?
The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Belfast International Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Jet2.com owes you 400 €.
An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Alicante International Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 400 €.
What are the conditions for Jet2.com to compensate you?
-
Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Belfast.
-
Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
-
Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Alicante airport.
-
Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Jet2.com (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Alicante, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
The impact of a strike on your Jet2.com compensation
A work stoppage of Jet2.com crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 400 €.
Even if 400 € is not payable due to an external strike at Alicante, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Jet2.com.
What are your rights at Alicante airport in case of prolonged wait?
In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Alicante International Airport, Jet2.com must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.
If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Alicante International Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.
Steps: how to get your 400 € from Jet2.com?
The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at Belfast International Airport airport (boarding pass, certificate) are mandatory steps to face the airline.
Partner LegalTech services have tools to check actual Jet2.com flight logs and contradict false weather excuses.
