Legal right: Vueling Airlines flight between Malaga and Amsterdam

If your journey from Malaga to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol operated by Vueling Airlines was disrupted, legal remedies exist when dealing with the carrier.

Given the route between Malaga and Amsterdam (1 884 km), the EU scale provides for automatic protection in case of a breach by Vueling Airlines. Medium-haul flights attract a substantial indemnity.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Malaga (AGP)
  • Arrival airport: Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS)
  • Flight distance: 1 884 km (~2h21)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

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.

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