From our own tracking
Recent Jet2.com flights we logged running late
Every Jet2.com arrival we logged running 3 or more hours late, or cancelled, at the airports we sweep 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.

How to claim
Claiming from Jet2.com
Jet2.com does not pay compensation automatically. Nothing happens until someone claims, and plenty of first claims come back refused when the airline blames something outside its control.
The rules do not change with the airline. What decides your claim is where the flight took off and how late it landed, not whose aircraft it was.
Checked against Jet2.com's own site on 12 August 2026.
Your rights
What the rules turn on
Where the flight departed decides everything, not the airline's nationality. Anything leaving a UK airport is covered by UK261 whoever operates it, and anything leaving the EU by EU261. A delay of 3 or more hours on arrival pays £220 or £350 each on the distances Jet2.com flies, when the cause was within the airline's control, which covers technical faults, crew shortages and the knock-on from a late inbound aircraft. It pays nothing when the cause was genuinely extraordinary, though airlines stretch that word further than the case law supports, so a refusal on those grounds is worth testing rather than accepting.
