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: Dubrovnik Airport (DBV)
  • Arrival airport: Barcelona International Airport (BCN)
  • Flight distance: 1 345 km (~1h41)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

Contrary to what {many think|Vueling Airlines might suggest}, this indemnity is not linked to the ticket price. A budget fare offers identical protection as a full-fare purchase.

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

The indemnity for DBV-BCN is a payout for time lost, not merely a commercial gesture. For this short-haul flight, the 3-hour threshold remains the key criterion.

Connecting passengers are also protected. If your first Vueling Airlines segment Dubrovnik-Barcelona causes a knock-on delay, the indemnity is calculated on the overall arrival delay.

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 Dubrovnik airport.
  • Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Vueling Airlines (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

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

Many passengers don't know that transport between the hotel and the airport of Dubrovnik Airport is also covered in the mandatory care required of Vueling Airlines.

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