Get your Vueling Airlines flight compensation for the route Oran - Alicante
No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Vueling Airlines did not respect its scheduled times for your Oran - Alicante flight, the law is on your side.
Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 296 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Vueling Airlines to pay you financial compensation.
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.
Details of your right to compensation
- Departure airport: Es Senia Airport (ORN)
- Arrival airport: Alicante International Airport (ALC)
- Flight distance: 296 km (~0h22)
- Applicable compensation: 250 €
Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.
How to know if the flight Vueling Airlines Oran - Alicante is eligible?
For an Vueling Airlines flight from Oran to Alicante, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 250 €.
Keeping your travel documents for the Vueling Airlines ORN-ALC flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Oran.
What are the conditions for Vueling Airlines to compensate you?
-
Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Alicante.
-
Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
-
Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Oran airport.
-
Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Vueling Airlines (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Oran, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
The impact of a strike on your Vueling Airlines compensation
Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Oran - Alicante trip is due to an internal strike within Vueling Airlines, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.
Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Vueling Airlines is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 250 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.
What are your rights at Oran airport in case of prolonged wait?
Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Vueling Airlines must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Oran.
Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Es Senia Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Vueling Airlines.
Steps: how to get your 250 € from Vueling Airlines?
The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at Alicante International Airport airport (boarding pass, certificate) are mandatory steps to face the airline.
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?
Patience is often the watchword. Airlines receive thousands of requests weekly and processing your file for the flight from Oran to Alicante International Airport can drag on if you don't follow up.
A collective action on the Vueling Airlines flight from Oran can also be a way to get your funds faster.
What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?
It is not uncommon for a claim for 250 € to be automatically rejected by the company's algorithms under a fallacious generic pretext.
In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company Vueling Airlines will always prefer to compromise and pay the 250 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
