Partner LegalTech services have tools to check actual Vueling Airlines flight logs and contradict false weather excuses.

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

On the AGP-SCQ line, delays can vary according to the reactivity of Vueling Airlines's legal department.

The advantage of delegating your claim to a major LegalTech player is that they can speed up this process thanks to automated formal notice systems and the constant threat of legal proceedings.

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 Malaga.
