With about 1,645 km between AGP and LGW (medium-haul (1,500–3,500 km)), compensation may be €400 (EU261), or £350 if UK261 applies, if you are entitled to it. All amounts

Who operates easyJet flight U2 8078?
In our data, easyJet is the airline selling U28078. Who actually operates the flight is shown on your ticket or booking confirmation.
Was U2 8078 part of a connecting flight? How is compensation calculated?
Your booking shows this, not the flight number. If U28078 was part of a connecting journey on one booking, distance is counted from the first departure airport to the final destination, and the delay is counted on arrival at the final destination. The distance band (short-, medium- or long-haul) follows that distance and may then differ from this leg (€400 (EU261), or £350 if UK261 applies).
