Claim and compensation for flight Vueling Airlines Rome - Prague

If your trip departing from Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport and arriving at Ruzyn? International Airport operated by Vueling Airlines was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 936 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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

  • Arrival airport: Ruzyn? International Airport (PRG)
  • Flight distance: 936 km (~1h10)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

Did you know? Even if Vueling Airlines is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Vueling Airlines Rome - Prague is eligible?

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

Also note that the distance of 936 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. 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 Prague.
  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
  • Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Rome airport.
  • Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Vueling Airlines (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Rome, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your Vueling Airlines compensation

If your Vueling Airlines flight from Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport was cancelled due to an internal union strike, you are eligible for legal repair.

The nuance is subtle, but essential. By calling on specialized lawyers, they will check the actual flight causative factors in the aeronautical databases reported by the captain on the day of your Rome - Prague flight.

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

If Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Vueling Airlines, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.
