Does Vueling pay EU261 claims?
Vueling is legally required to pay. As a Spanish low-cost carrier registered in Barcelona and part of the IAG group (alongside Iberia and British Airways), all Vueling flights are fully covered under EU261/2004. Vueling is known for high delay rates — especially at Barcelona El Prat — making it one of the most claimable airlines in Europe.
How long do I have to claim from Vueling?
You have up to 3 years from the date of your flight to submit a claim in most EU countries. Spain follows a general 5-year civil limitation period in some cases, but filing sooner is always better. Don't wait — the sooner you claim, the easier it is to document.
