Flight compensation Vueling Airlines:
Sevilla — Lyon

Procedure: Vueling Airlines flight compensation from Sevilla to Lyon

From Sevilla Airport airport, your departure with Vueling Airlines to Lyon didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 1 296 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.

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 Sevilla - Lyon is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Lyon airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Vueling Airlines owes you 250 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Vueling Airlines sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Sevilla Airport, the 250 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for Vueling Airlines to compensate you?

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

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Lyon, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.

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 Sevilla - Lyon flight.

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

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Sevilla Airport, Vueling Airlines must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Sevilla Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.
