Claim and compensation for flight Jet2.com Gran Canaria - Manchester

The LPA - MAN route operated by Jet2.com experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

By taking off from Gran Canaria Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 3 024 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.

This is not a commercial gesture from Jet2.com, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

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

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

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Gran Canaria, the regulation applies in the same way.

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 Gran Canaria 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

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Manchester 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.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Gran Canaria Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 400 € will not be due.

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

During these long hours of waiting in the Gran Canaria 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.

Even in extraordinary circumstances, this right to assistance at Gran Canaria 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 Gran Canaria - Manchester trip, every minute counts. Note the reasons given by Jet2.com staff at the Gran Canaria 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?

On the LPA-MAN line, delays can vary according to the reactivity of Jet2.com's legal department.

Recovering 400 € has never been faster thanks to the interconnection between defense platforms and Jet2.com systems.

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

An unfounded refusal from Jet2.com is a practice that experts know perfectly how to bypass by citing the right articles of Regulation 261.

DGAC or its European equivalents can be slow. A private court proceeding against Jet2.com is often more striking.
