Who operates easyJet flight U2 8439?

In our data, easyJet is the airline selling U28439. Who actually operates the flight is shown on your ticket or booking confirmation.

Was U2 8439 part of a connecting flight? How is compensation calculated?

Your booking shows this, not the flight number. If U28439 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 (£220 (UK261), or €250 if EU261 applies).
