Claim and compensation for flight Vueling Airlines Barcelona - Aviles
Your claim for compensation for the Vueling Airlines flight from Barcelona to Aviles deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.
European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 712 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.
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: Barcelona International Airport (BCN)
- Arrival airport: Asturias Airport (OVD)
- Flight distance: 712 km (~0h53)
- Applicable compensation: 250 €
This is not a commercial gesture from Vueling Airlines, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.
How to know if the flight Vueling Airlines Barcelona - Aviles is eligible?
Check your actual arrival time at Aviles. If Vueling Airlines made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Asturias Airport, your claim is legitimate.
Also note that the distance of 712 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.
What are the conditions for Vueling Airlines to compensate you?
-
Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Aviles.
-
Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
-
Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Barcelona airport.
-
Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Vueling Airlines (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Barcelona, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
The impact of a strike on your Vueling Airlines compensation
Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Barcelona - Aviles trip is due to an internal strike within Vueling Airlines, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.
A strike by weather services at Barcelona International Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Vueling Airlines has no control.
What are your rights at Barcelona airport in case of prolonged wait?
If Barcelona International Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Vueling Airlines, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.
Even in extraordinary circumstances, this right to assistance at Barcelona remains valid. The hotel is due if Vueling Airlines offsets your flight by one night.
