Get your Vueling Airlines flight compensation for the route Arrecife - Barcelona
Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Arrecife and Barcelona with Vueling Airlines? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.
Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 1 974 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Vueling Airlines to pay you financial compensation.
Why are you entitled to 400 €?
The European Regulation EC 261/2004 is very strict regarding air passenger rights. The amount of fixed compensation does not depend on the price of your ticket, but only on the flight distance.
Details of your right to compensation
- Departure airport: Lanzarote Airport (ACE)
- Arrival airport: Barcelona International Airport (BCN)
- Flight distance: 1 974 km (~2h28)
- Applicable compensation: 400 €
Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.
How to know if the flight Vueling Airlines Arrecife - Barcelona is eligible?
The compensation for flight ACE-BCN is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.
Keeping your travel documents for the Vueling Airlines ACE-BCN flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Arrecife.
What are the conditions for Vueling Airlines to compensate you?
-
Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Barcelona.
-
Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
-
Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Arrecife airport.
-
Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Vueling Airlines (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Arrecife, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
The impact of a strike on your Vueling Airlines compensation
A work stoppage of Vueling Airlines crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 400 €.
Even if 400 € is not payable due to an external strike at Arrecife, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Vueling Airlines.
What are your rights at Arrecife airport in case of prolonged wait?
The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 400 €, if the delay stretches at Lanzarote Airport airport, Vueling Airlines is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.
Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Lanzarote Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.
Steps: how to get your 400 € from Vueling Airlines?
Getting justice against carrier Vueling Airlines requires perseverance. No response or standardized refusals are common tactics.
To maximize your chances of success, use a collection service. These experts know the case law perfectly and will not be intimidated by the legal department of Vueling Airlines.
How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

Technology today allows real-time tracking of the progress of your request against Vueling Airlines on your smartphone.
What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?
Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Arrecife - Barcelona line.
In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company Vueling Airlines will always prefer to compromise and pay the 400 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
