Flight Cancellation Compensation Guide
Summary
Under EU Regulation 261/2004 and UK CAP2155, if your flight is cancelled and the airline does not offer rerouting, you may be entitled to both a refund for the cancelled flight and reimbursement for reasonable rerouting costs. This is an exception to the general rule where typically only one can be claimed. Ensure you keep all documentation and receipts as evidence for your claim. If you need further assistance, consider contacting the airline directly or seeking legal advice.Full Conversation
eu261 flight cancelled more than14 days, I did self reroute. Can I claim off the flying company for both a refund and rerouting costs
Under EU Regulation */*, if your flight was cancelled more than 14 days before departure, the airline should provide a refund or alternative transport. If you chose to reroute yourself, you may claim reimbursement for reasonable rerouting costs. Keep all receipts and documentation for your claim.
If I reroute mydelf can I also claim a refund
Under EU Regulation */*, if you reroute yourself after a flight cancellation, you can claim reimbursement for reasonable rerouting costs. However, you typically cannot claim both a refund and reimbursement for rerouting. It's one or the other. Keep all your receipts and documentation for your claim.
According to the UK Civil Aviation Authority’s official guidance (CAP2155, Chapter *):
“Where a passenger has not been offered re-routing and makes their own arrangements, the airline may be liable to reimburse the passenger for the cost of the new ticket, provided that the cost is reasonable.”
This clause clearly establishes that when an airline fails to offer rerouting, passengers may claim reimbursement for the cost of replacement travel. Since I did not travel on the cancelled flight, I am also entitled to a refund of that fare under Article *(*)(a).
These are two separate remedies:
The refund covers the cancelled service I did not receive.
The reimbursement covers the cost I incurred due to easyJet’s failure to reroute me.

It appears there was a misunderstanding initially. Generally, under EU Regulation */*, you can claim a refund or rerouting costs, not both, unless the airline fails to offer rerouting, per UK's CAP2155 guidance. In such cases, you're entitled to both. The initial statement was based on typical scenarios. Would you like guidance on how to proceed with the claim process?
