Flight delay and cancellation compensation, Easyjet ONLY

Surely a case of involuntary denied boarding as they were not given valid boarding passes, regardless of what subsequently happened?

Vauban has his harsh hat on today
I think if the poster oresented themselves at the gate when the queue had gone, they had presented themselves.
It would appear poster has done everything possible to try to resolve EJs negligence including going to airport day before, ringing useless customer services etc.
Make a claim then possible go to court.

Got to agree JP, he can be a harsh task master:)

A bit more for consideration...

The op arrived early and presented themselves correctly for check in. The check in staff then added another layer of complexity by giving them a confusing and unnecessary run-around.

Were the PAX's informed of their rights in the prescribed way? It doesn't sound like it as they were wrongly told they would have to pay for the train to Stansted themselves. Were other passengers offered cash compensation to give up their seats and travel later, as is required by the regs? I doubt it.

These reasons alone would/could entitle the op to compensation.

The op was told that they were not given a valid boarding pass due to the flight being overbooked. Being offered a flight two days later is unrealistic and shows that the airline did not do everything it could to mitigate the delay. Another reason to win.

EJ selected the op for denied boarding even tho a child was also travelling, this could/should have been easily avoided. Not specifically against the regs but against the spirit I feel.

I believe that a well presented case put before a judge in England would win the day.
