Flight compensation Vueling Airlines:
Paris — Bologna

Refund and compensation Vueling Airlines: route Paris to Bologna

The ORY - BLQ route operated by Vueling Airlines experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

Given the route between Paris and Bologna (824 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Vueling Airlines.

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 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 Paris - Bologna is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Paris and Bologna entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Paris, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for Vueling Airlines to compensate you?

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

If your Vueling Airlines flight from Paris-Orly Airport was cancelled due to an internal union strike, you are eligible for legal repair.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Paris-Orly Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 250 € will not be due.

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

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

Your forced stay at Paris shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your ORY-BLQ trip.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Vueling Airlines?

For your Paris - Bologna trip, every minute counts. Note the reasons given by Vueling Airlines staff at the Paris-Orly Airport counter during the incident.

If you don't have the time or the desire to engage in long email exchanges, delegating your claim to lawyers is the most effective solution to see your 250 € arrive in your bank account.

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

A frequent question concerns processing times. A claim filed directly with Vueling Airlines customer service can take several weeks or even months before getting a response.

If your file is particularly solid regarding the incident occurred on the Paris - Bologna section, some refund organizations even buy your debt. You then receive your compensation in less than 48 hours!

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

An unfounded refusal from Vueling Airlines is a practice that experts know perfectly how to bypass by citing the right articles of Regulation 261.

DGAC or its European equivalents can be slow. A private court proceeding against Vueling Airlines is often more striking.
