Flight compensation Vueling Airlines:
Oslo — Barcelona

Refund and compensation Vueling Airlines: route Oslo to Barcelona

If your trip departing from Oslo Gardermoen Airport and arriving at Barcelona International Airport operated by Vueling Airlines was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

Given the route between Oslo and Barcelona (2 182 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Vueling Airlines.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

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 not a commercial gesture from Vueling Airlines, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Vueling Airlines Oslo - Barcelona is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Barcelona. If Vueling Airlines made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Barcelona International Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Also note that the distance of 2 182 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 400 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Vueling Airlines to compensate you?

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

Don't be fooled by Vueling Airlines's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

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 400 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

If Oslo Gardermoen Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Vueling Airlines, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Oslo Gardermoen Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Vueling Airlines?

For your Oslo - Barcelona trip, every minute counts. Note the reasons given by Vueling Airlines staff at the Oslo Gardermoen Airport counter during the incident.

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

Patience is often the watchword. Airlines receive thousands of requests weekly and processing your file for the flight from Oslo to Barcelona International Airport can drag on if you don't follow up.

A collective action on the Vueling Airlines flight from Oslo can also be a way to get your funds faster.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

Don't take Vueling Airlines's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.

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 400 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
