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

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

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 3 209 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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 Gran Canaria Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

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

To determine if your trip between Gran Canaria and Newcastle entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

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 Newcastle.
• 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

The question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by Jet2.com staff (pilots, flight attendants) and an external strike.

In all cases, a precise analysis of flight logs will confirm if the weather or traffic conditions were truly exceptional.

What are your rights at Gran Canaria 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.

Your forced stay at Gran Canaria shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your LPA-NCL trip.

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

Starting a procedure against Jet2.com for a flight from Gran Canaria to Newcastle can be complex if you decide to go it alone. Customer service often tends to invoke the weather to clear themselves.

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?

Don't be surprised if you don't hear back within fifteen days of your request. The average time observed for a company like Jet2.com to validate a complex file often varies between four and twelve weeks.

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.
