EasyJet: Cancel flight online - what you need to know

If you have booked a flight with EasyJet, but for various reasons you cannot take it, you would of course like to cancel the flight. But it is not always possible to get a full refund by cancelling. Be sure to follow some tips and tricks.

How to cancel an EasyJet flight online?

It is not possible to cancel a flight online, as low-cost airlines do not have to refund the cost of a cancellation. However, this still does not mean that you will not receive any money at all. All airlines are obliged to pay you back all costs that do not concern the ticket, i.e. airport fees, taxes and baggage surcharges. However, you must claim these in writing, which often degenerates into a lengthy process, as the airlines do not want to make the refund.

1. For all flights of the last three calendar years, you can claim a refund.
2. Most of the time, you will get the largest share back for cheap tickets, as the ticket price is almost only composed of additional costs.
3. If you rebook, you can not claim a refund, but must pay a rebooking fee. Meist lohnt es sich zu stornieren und dann neu zu buchen.
4. Wenn eine Fluggesellschaft den Flug nicht durchführt, können Sie zusätzlich zur Erstattung eine Entschädigung einfordern.
5. Die AGBs der meisten Fluggesellschaften sind nicht ganz konform mit der aktuellen Gesetzeslage. Auf Geld für Flug können Sie Ihren Flug stornieren und die Webseite kümmert sich darum, die Rückerstattung einzufordern.
