Vueling Airlines passengers La Coruna-Bilbao: your guide to get compensated

You travelled with Vueling Airlines from La Coruna to Bilbao and the flight was disrupted? EU law mandates compensation when the airline is at fault.

Given the route between La Coruna and Bilbao (442 km), the EU scale provides for automatic protection in case of a breach by Vueling Airlines. Short-haul routes are covered from the first tier.

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.

This is by no means a commercial courtesy from Vueling Airlines, but a binding duty that applies to all flights subject to the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Vueling Airlines La Coruna - Bilbao is eligible?

Three criteria are required to establish your right to 250€: {delay exceeds 3h at Bilbao|flight cancelled less than 14 days before|boarding denied} — and {the cause is attributable to|Vueling Airlines is responsible for|the fault lies with} Vueling Airlines.

In the case of a flight suppression, if you were informed fewer than two weeks before your departure from La Coruna, the CE 261 applies equally.

What are the conditions for Vueling Airlines to compensate you?

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

The issue of strikes is a frequent sticking point in compensation cases. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by Vueling Airlines's own staff (pilots, cabin crew) and an third-party strike.

In every scenario, close examination of records will establish whether the conditions were genuinely exceptional. ATC strikes have a proportionally stronger impact on short routes.

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

During that interminable wait in the hall at La Coruna, remember Vueling Airlines has a duty to look after you. This includes food, but also the right to free communications at no cost.

In case of a overnight flight delay, the regulation requires that lodging and transport to and from La Coruna are entirely at the carrier's expense.
