Fares are among the lowest in Europe, but everything beyond a seat and small cabin bag costs extra — hold luggage, seat selection, and airport check-in all carry fees. Under UK261, easyJet delays of 3+ hours on UK-departing flights trigger fixed cash compensation of £220–£520 regardless of ticket price.
