Flight compensation Vueling Airlines:
Gran Canaria — Sevilla

Claim and compensation for flight Vueling Airlines Gran Canaria - Sevilla

If your trip departing from Gran Canaria Airport and arriving at Sevilla Airport operated by Vueling Airlines was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

Given the route between Gran Canaria and Sevilla (1 378 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Vueling Airlines.

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 Gran Canaria - Sevilla is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Sevilla. If Vueling Airlines made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Sevilla Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Also note that the distance of 1 378 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

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 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

If your Vueling Airlines flight from Gran Canaria Airport was cancelled due to an internal union strike, you are eligible for legal repair.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Gran Canaria Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 250 € will not be due.

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

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

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Gran Canaria Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.

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

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

Don't be surprised if you don't hear back within fifteen days of your request. The average time observed for a company like Vueling Airlines to validate a complex file often varies between four and twelve weeks.

Recovering 250 € has never been faster thanks to the interconnection between defense platforms and Vueling Airlines systems.

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

The first refusal from Vueling Airlines should not discourage you. Very often, passenger services invoke 'weather' by default to test the traveler's determination.

For your 250 €, don't compromise with Vueling Airlines without the opinion of a professional who knows the real value of your prejudice at Gran Canaria.
