Flight compensation Vueling Airlines:
Torino — Barcelona

How to be compensated by Vueling Airlines on the Torino (TRN) - Barcelona (BCN) line

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.

The impact of a strike on your Vueling Airlines compensation

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Torino / Caselle International 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.
