Fixed compensation
Do not assume it is automatically due. The cause, applicable passenger-rights regime and the airline's response all matter.

Porto easyJet passengers face disruption risk during cabin crew strike
Porto is explicitly included in the planned easyJet Portugal cabin crew strike period from 2 to 6 October. Actual cancellations will depend on the operating programme and any minimum services or settlement reached before the action.

Check my affected flight →What happened
Reuters reported the union estimate of around 500 scheduled easyJet flights at risk across Lisbon, Porto and Faro during the first stoppage, excluding minimum-service flights still to be determined.
Operational conditions can change quickly. Check the airline and airport for live status before travelling.
Compensation is only one part of your rights
EU261 care and cancellation remedies can apply separately from fixed compensation. The airline's exact reason and the final outcome of the passenger's flight remain important.
Refund or rerouting
A cancellation can create travel-remedy rights even where an extraordinary circumstance prevents fixed compensation.
Care and expenses
Where the applicable rules provide a duty of care, reasonable meals, accommodation or transport can remain separate from compensation.
What to do now
Monitor the Porto booking directly with easyJet and preserve the original itinerary, airline messages, rebooking and reasonable-expense receipts.
