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

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

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 952 km of flight, the company Vueling Airlines is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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: Venezia / Tessera - Marco Polo Airport (VCE)
  • Flight distance: 952 km (~1h11)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

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

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Venezia / Tessera - Marco Polo Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Vueling Airlines owes you 250 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Vueling Airlines sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Barcelona International Airport, the 250 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for Vueling Airlines to compensate you?

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

Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Barcelona, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Vueling Airlines.

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.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Barcelona International Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.
