What you're owed

£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.

Better or worse than the route itself?

Everyone flying Gatwick to Geneva hits the same airspace and the same two airports, so the honest question is not whether the route is busy, it is whether this airline handles it better or worse than the others on it.

Against its own network it is 4.4 points worse than usual: easyJet lands on time 71.9% of the time across all 398,684 of its UK flights a year, against 67.5% here.

In money terms: about 2 flights a month on this route land 3 hours or more late, which is about 1 flight in 170. Everyone on board one of those is owed £220 each, so a full aircraft is a five-figure bill for easyJet.
