Did you know? Even if Jet2.com is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Alicante International Airport, the European regulation applies in full.
How to know if the flight Jet2.com Alicante - Glasgow is eligible?
Check your actual arrival time at Glasgow. If Jet2.com made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Glasgow International Airport, your claim is legitimate.
In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Alicante, the regulation applies in the same way.

-
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
When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Glasgow International Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.
The nuance is subtle, but essential. By calling on specialized lawyers, they will check the actual flight causative factors in the aeronautical databases reported by the captain on the day of your Alicante - Glasgow flight.
What are your rights at Alicante airport in case of prolonged wait?
During these long hours of waiting in the Alicante International Airport terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.
Your forced stay at Alicante shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your ALC-GLA trip.
Steps: how to get your 400 € from Jet2.com?
It is strongly recommended to keep your Jet2.com boarding pass and any communication relating to the delay suffered at Alicante International Airport airport. These documents will be vital for your case.
By entrusting your case regarding flight ALC-GLA to our experts, you benefit from the 'No Win, No Fee' principle.
How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?
Don't be surprised if you don't hear back within fifteen days of your request. The average time observed for a company like Jet2.com to validate a complex file often varies between four and twelve weeks.
If your file is particularly solid regarding the incident occurred on the Alicante - Glasgow section, some refund organizations even buy your debt. You then receive your compensation in less than 48 hours!
What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?
The use of complex legal jargon by Jet2.com is often a maneuver to encourage the traveler to abandon their 400 €.
DGAC or its European equivalents can be slow. A private court proceeding against Jet2.com is often more striking.
