Claim and compensation for flight Jet2.com Arrecife - Manchester

If your trip departing from Lanzarote Airport and arriving at Manchester Airport operated by Jet2.com was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

By taking off from Lanzarote Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 2 867 km determines your legal compensation level.

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.

Did you know? Even if Jet2.com is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Lanzarote Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

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

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Jet2.com offers you a voucher for your Arrecife - Manchester flight, you can still claim the 400 euros cash provided by law.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 400 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

What are the conditions for Jet2.com to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Manchester.
• 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

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Arrecife - Manchester trip is due to an internal strike within Jet2.com, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

A strike by weather services at Lanzarote Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Jet2.com has no control.

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

Don't buy your food without first asking Jet2.com for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

Even in extraordinary circumstances, this right to assistance at Arrecife remains valid. The hotel is due if Jet2.com offsets your flight by one night.

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

For your Arrecife - Manchester trip, every minute counts. Note the reasons given by Jet2.com staff at the Lanzarote Airport counter during the incident.

If you don't have the time or the desire to engage in long email exchanges, delegating your claim to lawyers is the most effective solution to see your 400 € arrive in your bank account.

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 - Manchester line.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company Jet2.com will always prefer to compromise and pay the 400 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
