Flight compensation Vueling Airlines:
Tenerife — Barcelona

Get your Vueling Airlines flight compensation for the route Tenerife - Barcelona

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Vueling Airlines did not respect its scheduled times for your Tenerife - Barcelona flight, the law is on your side.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 2 245 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Vueling Airlines to pay you financial compensation.

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.

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

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

The compensation for flight TFS-BCN is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Tenerife South Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 400 €.

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 Tenerife 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

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Tenerife - Barcelona 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 400 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

What are your rights at Tenerife 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 Tenerife South 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 Tenerife South Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.

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

Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Tenerife - Barcelona line.

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.
