Flight compensation Jet2.com:
Arrecife — Blackpool

Procedure: Jet2.com flight compensation from Arrecife to Blackpool

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Jet2.com did not respect its scheduled times for your Arrecife - Blackpool flight, the law is on your side.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 2 891 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.

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

How to know if the flight Jet2.com Arrecife - Blackpool is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Blackpool 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 Lanzarote 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 Blackpool.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Arrecife airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Jet2.com (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Jet2.com compensation

Don't be fooled by Jet2.com's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

Even if 400 € is not payable due to an external strike at Arrecife, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Jet2.com.

What are your rights at Arrecife airport in case of prolonged wait?

The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 400 €, if the delay stretches at Lanzarote Airport airport, Jet2.com is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Lanzarote Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Jet2.com.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Jet2.com?

The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at Blackpool International Airport airport (boarding pass, certificate) are mandatory steps to face the airline.

Don't fill out complex forms on the Jet2.com website. Go through a passenger defense portal to secure your 400 € indemnity.

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

Some passengers wait more than 6 months for a response from Jet2.com. An expert can reduce this time by half.

A collective action on the Jet2.com flight from Arrecife can also be a way to get your funds faster.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Arrecife - Blackpool line.

If you are certain of your right, you can refer to the Civil Aviation of the country of departure, or better yet, escalate the matter to the lower courts with the help of a specialized partner lawyer.
