Get your Vueling Airlines flight compensation for the route Aviles - Barcelona
No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Vueling Airlines did not respect its scheduled times for your Aviles - Barcelona flight, the law is on your side.
Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 712 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.
Why are you entitled to 250 €?
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: Asturias Airport (OVD)
- Arrival airport: Barcelona International Airport (BCN)
- Flight distance: 712 km (~0h53)
- Applicable compensation: 250 €
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 Aviles - Barcelona is eligible?
The compensation for flight OVD-BCN is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.
An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Asturias Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 250 €.
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 Aviles airport.
-
Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Vueling Airlines (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Aviles, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
The impact of a strike on your Vueling Airlines compensation
Don't be fooled by Vueling Airlines's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.
A strike by weather services at Asturias Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Vueling Airlines has no control.
What are your rights at Aviles airport in case of prolonged wait?
In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Asturias Airport, Vueling Airlines must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.
If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Asturias Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.
