A cancellation on Jet2.com Budapest → Leeds qualifies you for up to 400€. Check how to claim.

Leaving Budapest Listz Ferenc international Airport, you are covered by European legislation. The distance of 1 631 km sets the tier of your legal indemnity. Your flight sits in the middle bracket.

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.
