Vueling Airlines flight Barcelona - Rennes: your rights to compensation

Did you experience a major disruption on your journey from Barcelona to Rennes with Vueling Airlines? A lengthy delay, a cancelled flight or denied boarding can throw your trip into chaos.

Your compensation amount doesn't depend on the ticket price. Only the distance of 811 km dictates the indemnity under EU law.

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.

This statutory compensation system was created to discourage airlines from cancelling flights without compelling reasons. Don't hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful legal tool.

The take-off schedule isn't the legal benchmark. Solely the {arrival time at Rennes|time the doors open at Rennes-Saint-Jacques Airport} determines your {eligibility|right to 250€}.
