EasyJet flight cancellation - partner & 2 young children

46 Posts

Hi,
Not sure if anyone can advise.
Just spoke to my partner who just walked into Gatwick and was told her easyjet flight to Berlin is cancelled due to bad weather. They have rebooked her for this Saturday.
She is there with her young children. Does anyone know if they have to provide hotel accommodation or anything else? Also would it be usually to get compensation also?
I realise the weather is not easyJet’s fault.
Many thanks,
Richard

The alleged Ringleader.........
If you can find an alternative flight that leaves sooner - even with another airline you can request that Easyjet book you on to this - however as your partner has already accepted an alternative Easyjet flight - (booked for Saturday )- she may struggle to get Easyjet to change this now.
If because of the cancelled flight your partner and kids need a hotel at Gatwick between now and Saturday- they should be asking Easyjet to book this for them . They should also keep receipts for “reasonable” meals to claim for re-inbursement.
Bad weather is usually seen as outside of the airlines control and therefore unless there is any other factor that caused the flight to be cancelled they would not be entitled to claim additional compensation .
Today’s 19:50 cancelled. Inbound a/c from BER not operating due to poor weather (thunderstorms) in parts of Europe and southern England.
