Legal right to compensation: Jet2.com flight between Prague and East Midlands

If your trip departing from Ruzyn? International Airport and arriving at East Midlands Airport operated by Jet2.com was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

By taking off from Ruzyn? International Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 1 119 km determines your legal compensation level.

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.

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like Jet2.com.

How to know if the flight Jet2.com Prague - East Midlands is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Prague and East Midlands 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 Prague, 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 East Midlands.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.

The impact of a strike on your Jet2.com compensation

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Jet2.com?

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

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