easyJet customers 'may be entitled' to £350 or more if they've flown recently
easyJet customers could be owed £350 or even more in some cases.
Anyone who has ever been told their flight is delayed will know all too well how frustrating it is.
But if you've experienced a flight delay in recent years, you could well be owed a cash sum.
On its website, easyJet explains that "you may be entitled" to compensation of up to £520 if your flight was so delayed that you arrived at least three hours later than the original scheduled arrival time.

The compensation you're entitled to is £220, or 250 euros, for flights of 1500 km or less; £350, or 400 euros, for flights within Europe of more than 1500 km, and all other flights between 1500 and 3500 km, and £520, or 600 euros, for "all other flights of 3500km or more".

easyJet says the compensation amount will be halved if the airline: "Is able to offer you re-routing on an alternative flight to your final destination that was scheduled to arrive no more than two hours after your original flight arrival time, in respect of flights of 1500 km or less; no more than three hours after your original flight arrival time for all flights between 1500 and 3500km provided you are flying in Europe; or no more than four hours after your original flight arrival time for any other flights."
The most popular routes on easyJet typically fall within the 1,500-3,500km range, so compensation would most likely be at the £350 per person mark.
You can claim compensation for delayed flights within the past six years, or within five years in Scotland.

TUI and Jet2 passengers told to do one thing 'six hours before flight'
Millions of Brits are gearing up to fly away on holiday in the coming weeks, with people advised to read up on the travel rules ahead of their trips. This includes when check-in for a flight opens and closes. Different airlines have different rules regarding this, so those with flights booked have been advised to familiarise themselves with what they should do before arriving at the airport.

According to the airlines' websites, online check-in with both closes six hours before the flight is due to depart. Online check-in closes two hours before departure with easyJet and Ryanair, three hours prior with Wizz Air, and one hour before take-off with British Airways. TUI passengers are usually able to check in online from either 14 days or 48 hours before your flight, depending on whether you've pre-booked seats or not. There are exceptions, such as for flights to Mexico, Jamaica, and Costa Rica, where online check-in doesn't open until 24 hours before departure. And with Jet2, online check-in opens 28 days before the flight, and with easyJet this is 30 days in advance. Ryanair online check-in opens either 60 days or 24 hours before the scheduled flight departure, depending on whether or not you've paid for an assigned seat. If you miss the online check-in window, you may still be able to check in at the airport. Check-in desks for TUI generally close 45 minutes before take-off, while those for Jet2, Ryanair, easyJet and Wizz Air close 40 minutes before the flight. If you're flying long-haul with British Airways, desks will close "at least 60 minutes" before departure, or 45 minutes prior if you're flying short-haul.

Couple's five-star easyJet honeymoon 'ruined' after turning up to 'total shambles'
A couple who booked a luxury honeymoon complete with a luxury "swim up" room allowing direct access to the hotel's swimming pool were bitterly disappointed to find mysterious brown stains on the patio's sun-beds when they arrived. Honeymooners Phil and Hannah Perkins, from Newport, South Wales booked a £1,080 easyJet package to historic Rhodes, Greece, in May. They had been hoping for a quiet romantic break, but were greeted on arrival by the sound of building work. Phil, 57, said: "We didn't really expect any problems, with it being a five-star resort," but it soon became clear that the hotel was undergoing extensive remodelling. He continued: "You had trucks coming through with cement and you had to move your beds to make way."

He said the noise and disruption completely wrecked their honeymoon. "It was constant," he said. "I watched them put some glass railings above the relax pool and there were people in the pool while they were putting the glass panels in. Phil added: "I thought 'This is not right.' There was concrete everywhere. It was just in shambles. It was constant drilling, banging. I told my wife, 'let's go to the bar and leave this relaxed nonsense', there was a bit of music and we wanted to chill, we thought the music would drown that out, but we could hear no music. "It was all day every day, it was unbelievable, I've never experienced anything like that. It was a proper building site." But the first, and perhaps most unpleasant sign of trouble was when the couple first entered their luxury swim-out room and saw brown stains on the sun-beds. "We booked a swim-out room, for a little bit of extra," Phil said. "When we got to the room, I opened the curtain to see the swim-out area, and the beds were really grimy and dirty. "I understand people use tan lotions but it was just brown, they were full of marks we didn't really want to see. It needed a good clean up, hence why we didn't go in there." He said that he had tried to take a philosophical approach, but the resort staff were no help at all. "I get things can go wrong and you can't please everybody but I'm easily pleased," he said. After the disappointed newlyweds arrived back home, they complained to easyJet who offered them a £281 refund, which the couple initially refused, until it was increased to £381. An easyJet holidays spokesperson told the MEN: "We're really sorry to hear that Mr Perkins was unhappy with his experience, especially on such a special holiday. "Once Mr Perkins returned home and got in touch with us, we immediately offered a partial refund. Our team has since been back in touch with Mr Perkins to apologise for his experience and offer a further refund, which was accepted "
