Refund from Easyjet

[smurfchops]

I am meant to be flying with Easyjet tomorrow. The flight has been cancelled because of snow at Gatwick, so I have requested (and received) a free transfer to a flight tomorrow afternoon.. If the flight is eventually cancelled due to the weather, will I be entitled to a refund from Easyjet ?

lol I just asked the right question on Google

I had a flight from Berlin to Liverpool cancelled once because of snow in Liverpool. Since I had to be back in England for an urgent appointment two days later, I had to accept a flight to Luton the following day as there was no seat to Liverpool available within my time limit. I did manage to claim expenses from Easyjet for travelling back to Liverpool from Luton - they paid up without fuss, surprisingly.

[ConsumerActivist]

easyJet is relying on swatshops in India through Serco for back office processing and customer service jockeying. The reputation of Serco is already at rock bottom in our market. Serco acquired Intellinet in Bombay(India), a pure service play company with abysmal Corporate Governance standard. The motivation of easyJet behind this tie-up is suspect as it had considerably higher standards of Corporate Governance. Both easyJet and Ryan Air are credited with coping SouthWest airlines business model without compromising on quality and actually enhancing it considerably.
