Flight compensation Vueling Airlines:
Barcelona — Kiev

How to be compensated by Vueling Airlines on the Barcelona (BCN) - Kiev (IEV) line

From Barcelona International Airport airport, your departure with Vueling Airlines to Kiev didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 2 400 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 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.

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

How to know if the flight Vueling Airlines Barcelona - Kiev is eligible?

The compensation for flight BCN-IEV is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

Keeping your travel documents for the Vueling Airlines BCN-IEV flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Barcelona.

What are the conditions for Vueling Airlines to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Kiev.
• 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...).

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 Barcelona, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Vueling Airlines.

What are your rights at Barcelona airport in case of prolonged wait?

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Vueling Airlines must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Barcelona.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Barcelona International Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Vueling Airlines?

The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at Kiev Zhuliany International Airport airport (boarding pass, certificate) are mandatory steps to face the airline.

Don't fill out complex forms on the Vueling Airlines website. Go through a passenger defense portal to secure your 400 € indemnity.

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

Patience is often the watchword. Airlines receive thousands of requests weekly and processing your file for the flight from Barcelona to Kiev Zhuliany International Airport can drag on if you don't follow up.

A collective action on the Vueling Airlines flight from Barcelona can also be a way to get your funds faster.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

It is not uncommon for a claim for 400 € to be automatically rejected by the company's algorithms under a fallacious generic pretext.

Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of Vueling Airlines convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
