Flight compensation Vueling Airlines:
Bilbao — Sevilla

Refund and compensation Vueling Airlines: route Bilbao to Sevilla

The BIO - SVQ route operated by Vueling Airlines experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

By taking off from Bilbao Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 701 km determines your legal compensation level.

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.

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like Vueling Airlines.

How to know if the flight Vueling Airlines Bilbao - Sevilla is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Bilbao and Sevilla entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Bilbao, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for Vueling Airlines to compensate you?

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

Don't be fooled by Vueling Airlines's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

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 Bilbao airport in case of prolonged wait?

If Bilbao Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Vueling Airlines, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.
