Legal right to compensation: Vueling Airlines flight between Bilbao and Malaga

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

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.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

Don't take Vueling Airlines's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.

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.
