Claim and compensation for flight Jet2.com Rhodos - Leeds

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

By taking off from Diagoras Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 2 997 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 Rhodos - Leeds is eligible?

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

Also note that the distance of 2 997 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 400 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Jet2.com to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Leeds.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Rhodos 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

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Rhodos - Leeds trip is due to an internal strike within Jet2.com, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Jet2.com is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 400 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

What are your rights at Rhodos 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.

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

Some passengers wait more than 6 months for a response from Jet2.com. An expert can reduce this time by half.

Technology today allows real-time tracking of the progress of your request against Jet2.com on your smartphone.

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.

If you are certain of your right, you can refer to the Civil Aviation of the country of departure, or better yet, escalate the matter to the lower courts with the help of a specialized partner lawyer.
