Get your Jet2.com flight compensation for the route Barcelona - Manchester
From Barcelona International Airport airport, your departure with Jet2.com to Manchester didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.
Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 1 380 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.
Why are you entitled to 250 €?
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.
Details of your right to compensation
- Departure airport: Barcelona International Airport (BCN)
- Arrival airport: Manchester Airport (MAN)
- Flight distance: 1 380 km (~1h44)
- Applicable compensation: 250 €
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 Barcelona - Manchester is eligible?
The compensation for flight BCN-MAN is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.
An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Barcelona International Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 250 €.
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 Barcelona airport.
-
Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Jet2.com (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Barcelona, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
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.
A strike by weather services at Barcelona International Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Jet2.com has no control.
What are your rights at Barcelona 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 Barcelona 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 Barcelona International Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.
Steps: how to get your 250 € from Jet2.com?
The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at Manchester 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 250 € indemnity.
How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?
Airlines like Jet2.com sometimes prioritize cases defended by law firms to avoid late interests.
A collective action on the Jet2.com flight from Barcelona can also be a way to get your funds faster.
What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?
Don't take Jet2.com's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.
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 250 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
