Flight compensation Vueling Airlines:
Bilbao — Milano

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

Your claim for compensation for the Vueling Airlines flight from Bilbao to Milano 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 958 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.

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 Bilbao - Milano is eligible?

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Vueling Airlines offers you a voucher for your Bilbao - Milano flight, you can still claim the 250 euros cash provided by law.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 250 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

What are the conditions for Vueling Airlines to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Milano.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Bilbao airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Vueling Airlines (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Vueling Airlines compensation

If your Vueling Airlines flight from Bilbao Airport was cancelled due to an internal union strike, you are eligible for legal repair.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Bilbao 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 Bilbao airport in case of prolonged wait?

During these long hours of waiting in the Bilbao Airport terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.

Even in extraordinary circumstances, this right to assistance at Bilbao remains valid. The hotel is due if Vueling Airlines offsets your flight by one night.

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

The first refusal from Vueling Airlines should not discourage you. Very often, passenger services invoke 'weather' by default to test the traveler's determination.

A claim organization will know exactly how to counter the airline's arguments, having access to certified meteorological histories and traffic reports from Bilbao Airport airport to prove their faults.
