Flight compensation Vueling Airlines:
Milano — Bilbao

How to be compensated by Vueling Airlines on the Milano (MXP) - Bilbao (BIO) line

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Vueling Airlines did not respect its scheduled times for your Milano - Bilbao flight, the law is on your side.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 958 km of flight, the company Vueling Airlines is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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 flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.
