Get your Vueling Airlines flight compensation for the route Barcelona - Lille

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

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 1 033 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Vueling Airlines to pay you financial compensation.

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: Lille-Lesquin Airport (LIL)
  • Flight distance: 1 033 km (~1h17)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

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 - Lille is eligible?

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

Keeping your travel documents for the Vueling Airlines BCN-LIL 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 Lille.
  • 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

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 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?

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Barcelona International Airport, Vueling Airlines must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Barcelona International Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Vueling Airlines.
