From our own tracking
Recent easyJet flights into Gatwick that ran late
Every easyJet arrival at Gatwick we logged running 3 or more hours late, or cancelled, since August. Newest first, and only flights UK or EU rules cover. A cancelled row carries no figure because what it pays turns on the notice you were given. The amount is what UK or EU rules pay that passenger, per person on the booking: usually the full rate for the distance, and half of it on the longest flights that landed between 3 and 4 hours late. Airlines can still dispute a claim by proving the cause was outside their control, so check yours to get the real answer.
