Yes.
Thanks very much for that info Nicky. When I looked on easyjet's website it looked as if there was a flight each day next week except 12 april, which showed none. |
I had noticed similar for the Sat, as two weren't coming back on certain views But had found that view while clicking around
Glad I can reassure you, hope you are having a great holiday

Have they suggested any sensible alternatives? Maybe flight to Geneva and then train up to Lyon?

10 mins listening to some classical music which is not helping my anger with them!

Think you are entitled to £250 compensation as well the alternate route..
But not 100%. Nb see thread I linked to about getting a different route. If you persevere you can get different routes...

Cut me off after 14 mins. Grrrrrrrrr

@Alpinebear, Maybe easier to look out a route and present it as a fait accompli to them. Together with the €250 compensation you are due under EU rules.

The next person refused to talk to me about the booking as my wife booked it even though the first person did.
I can't understand how they can leave the cancellation so late in the day. My wife is now onto them. Thanks for the advice. So poor from Easyjet.

You know it makes sense.
|
@Alpinebear, she can give permission for you to talk to them. My parents did this so that my sister could take over

The information on their own flight tracker seems very scrambled:
https://www.easyjet.com/en/flight-tracker/EJU6971?fd=2022-04-09
Apparently the flight will take off late, land on time, but is also cancelled.

The outgoing flight from Lyon to Edinburgh, which is presumably the same plane, is showing as cancelled on Flightradar and both the Lyon and Edinburgh airport websites.

Another call and I can speak about the booking......According to our system the flight is definitely going ahead sir......I don't have time to look at departure and arrival boards at airports......If the flight is cancelled we will put her in a hotel for the night and put her on the next available flight......she can book an economy class fare and proceed with a reclaim from Easyjet......I don't know why you have been sent a cancellation text and email.......our system wouldn't let my colleague re-book your wife if the flight wasn't flying tonight......
Have a nice f***in day.
She will arrive at Edinburgh in the next twenty mins or so will see what they say there.

easyJet Edinburgh had to speak to easyJet customer service on phone(wife's phonecall) and explain the flight was cancelled.
EJCS refused to change flight as system was showing delayed. EJEDI demanded to speak to EJCS's manager. Flight eventually changed to Geneva tomorrow morning but EJCS refused to book a hotel for my wife and two kids because ......the flight according to them was still showing delayed.
Wife now had to pay £200 for a room for the night.
I really don't know how easyJet can treat people like this(except EDI staff who seemed to care).

@Alpinebear, I hope she took names of who she spoke to as you should be able to claim the cost of the accom etc plus €250 each in compensation under EU261, as I think the full callsign was EZU, so the EU arm of Easyjet. If not UK261 applies with similar effect.
It sounds like there has been an IT glitch and computer says no here.

Our flight home from Geneva was cancelled and we were offered one two days later. Not exactly ideal. So we ended up taking trains all the way from CH to the NW of England, a two-day odyssey.
There was no reason given for the cancellation. Just a blithe assumption that another two days without being at home/going to work is something you should just suck up.

Our flight home on Saturday from Basel to Gatwick had a large queue to drop off bags (we'd already checked in online and had boarding passes allocated). Our flight was due for departure at 12:30, we joined the end of the queue at 10:30 and it was at least an hour before we reached a desk and were able to check in our bags. Fortunately going through security afterwards was quite quick, but there was quite a walk from there to the gate, so that by the time we arrived there they had already started boarding. All a bit stressful.

I feel rather lucky to have returned from Zurich to Luton on Friday night without incident. yes we queued in passport control hall for 40 mins but that is not unusual at Luton if 2 planes land at similar times...
easyjet had advised me there would be no inflight service, although the trolley did go down with what appeared to be drinks only I think.
