What you're owed

Leaving Gatwick

£220each under UK law

Leaving Geneva

£220each under UK law

Geneva is outside the UK and EU, so coming back this only applies if a UK or EU airline operated the flight.

Gatwick to Geneva is 715 km, which fixes the figure: £220 each leaving Gatwick, and the same £220 each coming back if a UK or EU airline operated the flight. It is per person, so four of you is £880.
