Flight compensation Vueling Airlines:
Barcelona — Madrid

Legal right to compensation: Vueling Airlines flight between Barcelona and Madrid

Your claim for compensation for the Vueling Airlines flight from Barcelona to Madrid deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

By taking off from Barcelona International Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 483 km determines your legal compensation level.

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.

Did you know? Even if Vueling Airlines is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Barcelona International Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

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

Check your actual arrival time at Madrid. If Vueling Airlines made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Madrid Barajas International Airport, your claim is legitimate.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Barcelona, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for Vueling Airlines to compensate you?

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

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Barcelona - Madrid 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?

Don't buy your food without first asking Vueling Airlines for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

Your forced stay at Barcelona shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your BCN-MAD trip.
