Claim and compensation for flight Vueling Airlines Barcelona - Palma de Mallorca
Your claim for compensation for the Vueling Airlines flight from Barcelona to Palma de Mallorca 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 202 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.

- Departure airport: Barcelona International Airport (BCN)
- Arrival airport: Palma De Mallorca Airport (PMI)
- Flight distance: 202 km (~0h15)
- 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 - Palma de Mallorca is eligible?
Check your actual arrival time at Palma de Mallorca. If Vueling Airlines made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Palma De Mallorca 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 Palma de Mallorca.
-
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
When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Palma De Mallorca Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.
On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Barcelona International Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 250 € will not be due.
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.
Your forced stay at Barcelona shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your BCN-PMI trip.
