More in-depth information regarding the EU-regulation and your passenger rights.
Under what conditions is your flight delay with Vueling eligible for compensation?
The 2004 EU261 regulation clearly defines a flight delay as when an airline or its replacement arrives at your destination more than 3 hours later than expected. In this circumstance, you need to check to know if you might be entitled to compensation.
Note: the amount of compensation is dependent on the distance of the flight – not on the amount you paid for your ticket. Additionally, the flight must either take off or land in the European Union. In the case where it is landing in the European Union, the airline must also have its headquarters in the EU.
A Vueling passenger is entitled to compensation in the event of the following:
Flight delay: If your Vueling flight arrives at your destination more than 3 hours later than expected.
Flight Cancellation: if you were not informed of the cancellation or informed less than 14 days before departure.
Overbooking: If you had suffered a denied boarding due to overbooking of your flight.
Missed connecting flight: If you missed a connecting flight due to a delay in one of the legs, and you arrived at your destination more than 3 hours later than expected.
Don’t take any excuses!
Meal vouchers or accommodation (in the case of an overnight delay) do not suffice for compensation.
All flight packages are covered by this regulation, and only the person on the passenger register who has suffered the delay, irrespective of who paid the ticket, will receive compensation for the inconvenience suffered.
Your claims are valid up to 6 years in the past.
Only extraordinary circumstances such as union strikes or bad weather relieve the airline of this responsibility.
Here is an overview of which compensation you’ll be entitled to, based on the circumstances of your delay:
Short distance flight delays – Below 1500km – Passengers are due €250 compensation from Vueling.
Medium distance flight delays – Between 1500km and 3500km – Passengers are due €400 compensation from Vueling.
Long distance flight delays – Over 3500km – Passengers are due €600 compensation from Vueling.
Delay, cancellation, overbooking or missed connection flight? You are entitled to:
Short distance up to 1500 km | Medium distance up to 3500 km | Long distance from 3500 km |
|---|---|---|
e.g. London – Edinburgh | e.g. London – Athens | e.g. London – Tokyo |
250€ | 400€ | 600€ |
How to claim compensation from Vueling
The first thing to do is confirm that you are eligible for Vueling flight delay compensation. This is often not a simple process when done on your own: getting access to flight databases, comparing your situation with other similar cases, checking whether your case applies under European Regulation No. 261/2004, etc. are some of the tasks that need to be done carefully to determine if you are eligible for a Vueling compensation. In fact, for an individual without the legal expertise or the required technology, this can prove quite complicated.
