Procedure: Vueling Airlines flight compensation from Barcelona to Rome
Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Barcelona and Rome with Vueling Airlines? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.
Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 847 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.
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: Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport (FCO)
- Flight distance: 847 km (~1h04)
- Applicable compensation: 250 €
Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.
How to know if the flight Vueling Airlines Barcelona - Rome is eligible?
The compensation for flight BCN-FCO is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.
Keeping your travel documents for the Vueling Airlines BCN-FCO 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 Rome.
-
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
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 250 €.
Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Vueling Airlines is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 250 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.
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.
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.
Steps: how to get your 250 € from Vueling Airlines?

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

Technology today allows real-time tracking of the progress of your request against Vueling Airlines on your smartphone.
What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?
Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Barcelona - Rome line.
In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company Vueling Airlines will always prefer to compromise and pay the 250 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
