easyJet cancelled flight compensation
You may be owed compensation if the flight was cancelled and you were told less than 14 days before departure. Told 14 days or more before departure usually means no fixed compensation. easyJet's notice says there is no compensation if you were told at least two weeks before departure.
easyJet compensation for cancelled flight
The sum depends on how much notice easyJet gave and on when the replacement flight arrives.
With less than 7 days' notice, the CAA uses the sums below when the replacement flight arrives late by the times shown. There is no compensation if the new flight departs no more than 1 hour before the original and arrives less than 2 hours after the original arrival time.

The CAA says this table does not apply when the replacement flight departs up to two hours before the original departure, or at any time after it, and arrives less than four hours late: no fixed compensation is due in that case. If the replacement flight arrives more than four hours late, £220, £350 or £520 applies by distance. Source: CAA Cancellations. GOV.UK Table 3 shows the same sums but words the conditions for some rows differently, so check both pages if your replacement flight left earlier than planned.
easyJet compensation denied boarding
Involuntary denied boarding, when you were presented on time for check-in, is a compensation case under easyJet's notice of rights. The sum depends on the flight distance and on how late the alternative flight arrives (GOV.UK, Table 5).
easyJet flight delay refund
If you are delayed at least 5 hours, you can choose not to travel and get a refund for the unused flights. On a cancellation, easyJet offers a free switch, a voucher valid for 12 months, or a refund. easyJet says refund requests for cancelled flights are processed within 7 days. That timing is the refund, not compensation. Sources: easyJet delays and cancellations and CAA Delays.
