What you can claim
On flights from Isle Of Man to the UK, it matters who operated the flight:
- Loganair: UK261 – UK or EU airline flying into the UK
- easyJet: UK261 – UK or EU airline flying into the UK
Compensation is fixed by distance, not by the ticket price, and is paid per passenger, children included. It is not due if the airline proves extraordinary circumstances. Whatever the cause, from 2 hours’ delay you are entitled to care (meals, drinks, a hotel if needed) and, after a cancellation, to a refund or re-routing.

Does the airline have to pay if the delay was caused by weather or a strike?
