U2 8705 (U28705) is sold by easyJet. On a codeshare another airline may operate the flight, and the operating airline determines which rules apply.

U28705 leaves London in the UK, so the UK version of the regulation (UK261) may apply whichever airline you fly with, with amounts in pounds.

You may get flight delay compensation (3+ hours late) or cancelled flight compensation, unless the cause was extraordinary.

With about 2,266 km between LGW and RAK (medium-haul (1,500–3,500 km)), compensation may be £350 per passenger (UK261), if you are entitled to it. All amounts

Does EU261 apply to easyJet flight U2 8705?

Usually not, but UK261 may apply, as U28705 departs from the UK.

Who operates easyJet flight U2 8705?

In our data, easyJet is the airline selling U28705. Who actually operates the flight is shown on your ticket or booking confirmation.

Was U2 8705 part of a connecting flight? How is compensation calculated?

Your booking shows this, not the flight number. If U28705 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 (£350 per passenger (UK261)).
