The endless wait at Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport towards Glasgow with Jet2.com doesn't have to go uncompensated. Let's explore your options.

The passenger protection under CE 261/2004 kicks in automatically when Jet2.com fails its obligations on the 1 973 km route from Rome to Glasgow.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport (FCO)
  • Arrival airport: Glasgow International Airport (GLA)
  • Flight distance: 1 973 km (~2h28)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

This cornerstone regulation of EU transport law protects over 900 million journeys annually. Despite this, the vast majority never claim due to ignorance.

How to know if the flight Jet2.com Rome - Glasgow is eligible?

To verify if your journey between Rome and Glasgow qualifies for compensation, the key criterion is the delay at destination ({not the departure delay|measured at Glasgow International Airport}). It must exceed 3 hours.

Note that the distance of 1 973 km fully justifies the 400€ compensation tier. This amount is net and {the airline|Jet2.com} cannot override it through its own general conditions of sale.

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Rome, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your Jet2.com compensation

Not all strike{s} exempt the airline from its obligations. If your Rome - Glasgow delay was caused by an staff strike at Jet2.com, the CJEU have confirmed that this entitles you to a payout.

A strike by ATC services at Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport or European ATC is an external cause over which Jet2.com has no control.

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

The duty of assistance is a essential provision of the EU text. Independently of the 400€ question, if the delay extends at Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport, Jet2.com must distribute meal vouchers.

The full package of assistance includes: refreshments, hot meals if the delay warrants it, two free communications, and accommodation plus transfers if the flight is postponed. Everything paid by Jet2.com.
