Flight compensation Vueling Airlines:
Gran Canaria — Paris

How to be compensated by Vueling Airlines on the Gran Canaria (LPA) - Paris (ORY) line

From Gran Canaria Airport airport, your departure with Vueling Airlines to Paris didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 2 768 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Vueling Airlines to pay you financial compensation.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

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.

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.

How to know if the flight Vueling Airlines Gran Canaria - Paris is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Paris-Orly Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Vueling Airlines owes you 400 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Vueling Airlines sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Gran Canaria Airport, the 400 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for Vueling Airlines to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Paris.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Gran Canaria 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

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Gran Canaria - Paris trip is due to an internal strike within Vueling Airlines, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

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

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

The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 400 €, if the delay stretches at Gran Canaria Airport airport, Vueling Airlines is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Gran Canaria Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Vueling Airlines.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Vueling Airlines?

Getting justice against carrier Vueling Airlines requires perseverance. No response or standardized refusals are common tactics.

Don't fill out complex forms on the Vueling Airlines website. Go through a passenger defense portal to secure your 400 € indemnity.

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

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?

It is not uncommon for a claim for 400 € to be automatically rejected by the company's algorithms under a fallacious generic pretext.

If you are certain of your right, you can refer to the Civil Aviation of the country of departure, or better yet, escalate the matter to the lower courts with the help of a specialized partner lawyer.
