Flight compensation Vueling Airlines:
Bologna — Barcelona

Legal right to compensation: Vueling Airlines flight between Bologna and Barcelona

If your trip departing from Bologna / Borgo Panigale Airport and arriving at Barcelona International Airport operated by Vueling Airlines was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

By taking off from Bologna / Borgo Panigale Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 831 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.

Did you know? Even if Vueling Airlines is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Bologna / Borgo Panigale Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

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

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Vueling Airlines offers you a voucher for your Bologna - Barcelona 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 Barcelona.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Bologna airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Vueling Airlines (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
