💰 Can I Get Compensation for a Delayed Jet2 Flight?

Yes — if delayed 3+ hours and not due to “extraordinary circumstances,” you may claim up to £520 under EU261/UK261. Jet2 may argue power outage is “extraordinary,” but if they lacked backup systems, you still qualify.

1. Keep boarding passes and delay notices
2. Submit claim via Jet2 Claims Portal
3. If denied, use Refund.me or Bott & Co
