Procedure: Vueling Airlines flight compensation from Barcelona to Hannover
From Barcelona International Airport airport, your departure with Vueling Airlines to Hannover didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.
Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 1 368 km of flight, the company Vueling Airlines is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.
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.

- Arrival airport: Hannover Airport (HAJ)
- Flight distance: 1 368 km (~1h43)
- 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.
