Easyjet cancellation due to 'weather'

[EnamelSign]

My flight to Alicante was cancelled at the last minute while we were waiting to board at Gatwick on Boxing day. Easyjet offered a full refund saying that it was due to the 'extreme weather conditions'. However Gatwick was running normally (I have a printout of the departure board) with their flights leaving Gatwick for other parts of Spain.

My suspicion is that it was not a weather related cancellation but by using that excuse they get out of paying compensation. But what can I do to prove it? I would appreciate your comments - do you think that this is a fight worth fighting?

Thanks

this is probably what they were trying to say.

as to do you have any grounds to claim, just see what is happening stateside this week with their snow.... refusal to accept the pax protection laws, as the snow is an act of god....
