Claim and compensation for flight Vueling Airlines Brussels - Valencia

The BRU - VLC 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 Brussels Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 1 327 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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Brussels Airport (BRU)
  • Arrival airport: Valencia Airport (VLC)
  • Flight distance: 1 327 km (~1h40)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

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

How to know if the flight Vueling Airlines Brussels - Valencia is eligible?

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

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Brussels, 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 Valencia.
  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
  • Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Brussels airport.
  • Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Vueling Airlines (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Brussels, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your Vueling Airlines compensation

A work stoppage of Vueling Airlines crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 250 €.

A strike by weather services at Brussels Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Vueling Airlines has no control.

What are your rights at Brussels airport in case of prolonged wait?

During these long hours of waiting in the Brussels 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.

Your forced stay at Brussels shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your BRU-VLC trip.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Vueling Airlines?

Starting a procedure against Vueling Airlines for a flight from Brussels to Valencia can be complex if you decide to go it alone. Customer service often tends to invoke the weather to clear themselves.

If you don't have the time or the desire to engage in long email exchanges, delegating your claim to lawyers is the most effective solution to see your 250 € arrive in your bank account.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

Some passengers wait more than 6 months for a response from Vueling Airlines. An expert can reduce this time by half.

Technology today allows real-time tracking of the progress of your request against Vueling Airlines on your smartphone.

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

Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Brussels - Valencia line.

Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of Vueling Airlines convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
