PΓ©ssimo atendimento ao cliente

Dear Vueling Customer Service Team, I am writing to submit a formal complaint regarding the complete lack of response and follow-up concerning my booking QQ6IXH. This situation is unacceptable. Following the cancellation of my flight on 9 September, I requested reimbursement for the expenses incurred as a result of the cancellation. My claim was registered under case number 13444715. Since then, I have sent several emails and provided all the requested documentation, including the expense receipts, and I have received no response. Due to this continued lack of communication, I was forced to submit a complaint, specifically regarding the absence of any response. This complaint was registered under case number 13634135. I was asked to provide the expense receipts, which I duly submitted. However, I was subsequently informed that the matter could not be handled through that channel and was told to disregard the previous email. I replied to clarify that the entire purpose of my complaint was precisely the lack of response to my original reimbursement claim. Despite this clarification, I have once again been left without any response or resolution in either case. It is absolutely unacceptable that, after following all the required procedures, submitting the requested documentation, and contacting your customer service team repeatedly, I am still unable to obtain a straightforward answer. Customers should not have to chase a company repeatedly just to receive an update on a pending reimbursement claim. I therefore demand a formal and clear response regarding the status of my reimbursement claim, along with a prompt resolution of this matter. I will not accept further generic replies or being redirected between departments without any concrete action being taken. Please review the full history of my correspondence and the documentation already provided, and ensure that this complaint is handled appropriately and without further delay. Should I continue to receive no response, I reserve the right to escalate this matter to the relevant consumer protection and aviation authorities. I expect your prompt response and a concrete solution. Kind regards, Ricardo Henriques

On 23 October 2026, at Santiago de Compostela Airport, I was charged €120 because my cabin bag exceeded the permitted size. I paid the fee and handed my bag over to Vueling staff for transportation to my final destination, Split, via Barcelona. Unfortunately, my bag never arrived in Split. I reported it immediately at the airport. To make matters worse, Vueling staff did not provide me with a baggage tag or tracking reference when I handed over my bag, meaning I had no way to independently track it. Vueling has refused to refund the €120 baggage fee, despite the fact that I paid for the transportation service and my bag was not delivered as agreed. It has now been 11 days, and I am still without my baggage. Although Vueling has located it in London, it has still not been returned to me. This situation has caused significant inconvenience, stress and uncertainty. I paid €120 for a service that was not properly provided, was not given the basic documentation needed to track my baggage, and have been left waiting for almost two weeks with no resolution.

1. On check in, we were not allocated a seat and told to proceed to boarding gate to see what measures Vueling can offer. Raj at check in told us the flight is overbooked and all passengers who did not prebook and paid extra for their seats are not allocated a seat on the flight. 2. After a long wait, the boarding gate was announced. 3. At boarding gate, there were about 40 passengers without seats allocated. About half were eventually boarded, with the remaining 21 of us denied boarding. 4. We were accompanied to collect our check in luggage anx went back to check in counter. 5. We were rebooked for a Vueling flight scheduled to depart at 20:25 hours from London Gatwick to Barcelona, which is more than 7 hours from our original flight at 13:00 hours. 6. Vueling indicated that we will be given snack and food voucher. 7. After clearing immigration and customs, no one from Vueling was around to give us the snack and food voucher. We ended up paying in cash for our food given that I am diabetic and needs regular food intake. I did not keep the receipts but spent GBP22.

Terrible customer service and failure to be compliant with EU Regulations

I am writing to formally reject their decision regarding my claim for flight VY8754 from Barcelona (BCN) to Birmingham (BHX) on 04-10-2026 that I had knowledge of the cancellation by accessing the app as I got no email informing it less than 7 hours before departure keeping my partner and I stranded. Their correspondence states that the cancellation was due to severe weather and low visibility. And they gave me no other option but to fly with them 4 days later causing a lot of inconvenience and unexpected out of pocket expenses. However, air traffic data demonstrates that other airlines successfully operated flights on this exact route on the same day. Specifically: Jet2 flight LS1338 (Departed BCN at 11:20) Ryanair flight FR6822 (Departed BCN at 19:30) If the weather permitted other carriers to operate safely from the same airport to the same destination, it does not constitute an "extraordinary circumstance" that exempts Vueling from liability. It is clear that you failed to take all reasonable measures to operate the flight. Furthermore, you failed in your Duty of Care obligations under Article 8 of Regulation (EC) 261/2004. You are legally required to offer rerouting "at the earliest opportunity." Rescheduling my flight for 4 days later is a clear breach of this regulation, especially when multiple alternative flights were available the very next day, October 5th, including: easyJet flight U26620 (10:50) Jet2 flight LS1338 (11:45) Ryanair flight FR3800 (14:35) EU and UK guidelines dictate that if they cannot rebook me on their own services promptly, they must rebook me on a rival carrier. They failed to do so. I expect full payment of my statutory compensation of aβ€šβ‚¬400, plus the reimbursement of all out-of-pocket expenses I incurred due to your failure to reroute me at the earliest opportunity. I have attached the receipts for these expenses, alongside the flight records proving alternative flights operated. If this claim is not settled within 14 days, I will escalate the matter to AESA (Agencia Estatal de Seguridad Aérea) for binding resolution. I also have a recording of a phone call where I have been mistreated by the airline agent who refused to provide his name or any timeframe for resolution.

Overall

  • close Poor servive at the airport and lack of clarity, they claimed to cancel our flight when on the same date 04/10/2026 2 flights departed with the same destination to Birmingham from that airport and and day after 3, they refused to put us in another airline

We tried to make a claim online through the Vueling website. First, their system could not recognise their own booking code. After many attempts, their system finally recognise the bookings. What followed was a contniual request for names of claimants. This is the point where the Vueling system went into a circular loop asking for claimants' names repeatedly without being able to get out of the loop. At this point, we had no other alternative but to get out of the Vueling system as it was pointless "talking" to a bot.

Bilbao-Barcelona

No reason given

Our flight was cancelled without any explanation and the only options offered were either a full refund or a bus ride to the Barcelona airport. The person giving that information told us that she was not working for Vueling but for a handling company and she didn't know why the flight was cancelled. We took the bus and arrived ~6h later (~14:30 instead of 08:20) than our scheduled arrival time. I requested compensation from Vueling but it was rejected because of "extraordinary circumstance". Apparently, the reason for the cancellation was air traffic congestion and they "had to take additional safety measures that limited the number of flights operating from the airport". We had to take extra leave from work because we were supposed to work that day but of course we were not able to (our working schedule being 09:00 - 18:00). It didn't cost us money directly, but indirectly that day off would mean ~150€ each (not something we can claim I assume though).

No reason given

We arrived at Tenerife airport and did not hear anything from Vueling at all, until the flight was the abruptly cancelled. We were made to wait for 2hours before we got a Bus to a Hotel, as the alternative flight offered was the next day. We did not receive any meal tickets or any communication on how we should get to the airport. We were forced to take a Taxi, using our own money to make it to the airport the following day. As a result of the cancellation, we missed our connection in Barcelona. We missed our arranged transfer in Mykonos And we lost 12 hours of our trip! We arrived in Mykonos at 0:30am on the 14th, when our original schedule arrival was meant to be 9:30am on the 13th. It ruined our Mykonos leg and massively impacted our holiday. The worst part? We were completely in the dark. Vueling didn’t tell us anything! Even in Barcelona there was no advice expect to claim compensation (which they refuse). We’re shocked and never traveling in Vueling or Iberia again if this can’t be resolved.

No reason given

We booked round-trip tickets from Hamburg to Barcelona and back. As the flight from Hamburg to Barcelona did not operate, we were offered an alternative flight departing on 5 October. However, since our return flight was booked for 6 October, the alternative option was not suitable, as we would have spent only 4–5 hours in Barcelona. This made the trip pointless, so we declined the alternative flight. Eurowings partially refunded us €105 for the Hamburg–Barcelona flight. Since then, communication with the company has stalled. In their correspondence, they keep stating that they will contact us, but nobody has followed up. We also paid €170 for hostel accommodation for the entire planned stay, which must also be included in our total expenses. As a result, our outstanding losses currently amount to €145 for the return ticket from Barcelona to Hamburg, plus €170 for the hostel accommodation. These expenses have not been reimbursed.

Claim escalated to airline

My flight VY6405 from Venice to Barcelona on 3 October 2026 was cancelled less than 1.5 hours before departure due to alleged adverse weather conditions. Following the cancellation, Vueling provided me with no hotel accommodation or meals, despite the disruption and the need to wait until the following day. I was rebooked on flight VY6407 for 4 October at 17:30. When I arrived at the airport and was already standing at the check-in counter, I was informed that I could not be allocated a seat and would not be allowed to board. This was not communicated to me in advance. Vueling had also emailed me stating that they had been unable to allocate a seat to me. As a result, I had to arrange alternative transport from Venice to Madrid and then travel by train to Barcelona, paying for flights, hotels, taxis, baggage and meals myself. My total expenses amount to EUR 2,066.01, including additional baggage fees of EUR 60 for the alternative flight and EUR 40 for the train. I would like AirAdvisor to assess my entitlement to compensation for denied boarding, reimbursement of eligible expenses, and compensation or reimbursement for Vueling’s failure to provide care and assistance following the cancellation, under Regulation (EC) No 261/2004. I can provide my booking confirmation, cancellation notice, Vueling’s email regarding the unallocated seat, and available receipts and invoices.

My flight was VY8485 from Faro to Barcelona on 29 September 2026. The flight arrived more than three hours late, causing me to miss my scheduled cruise departure from Barcelona. As a result, I was unable to board the cruise and lost the entire cruise itinerary. I submitted a compensation claim directly to Vueling under Regulation (EC) No 261/2004. However, Vueling rejected my claim, stating that the delay was caused by adverse weather conditions, specifically a storm that resulted in low visibility and restrictions on the number of flights operating from the airport. I would like to know whether you would be willing to assess and pursue this case, including challenging Vueling’s reliance on extraordinary circumstances if appropriate. Could you please confirm the following: - Whether you would accept a case that has already been rejected by the airline on weather-related grounds. - Your total fees, including any additional charges if legal action becomes necessary. - Whether I would incur any costs if the claim were unsuccessful.

No compensation, no reimbursement, no support from vueling

15 minutes before our flight was supposed to take off (People were in line to board), we got a notification that our flight was cancelled. While standing in line to figure out the next steps, the Vueling agent told us: the flight was cancelled for technical issues, we would receive an email about when the next flight we would be put on is, and we would be compensated for meals and stay for all of the in-between time. Since then, we never received an email telling us about other flight options; we had to book expensive last-minute accommodations as well as other forms of transport. When submitting a claim to get reimbursed, we were then told the flight was cancelled due to weather issues, which is hard to believe if our flight actively had a gate and time for takeoff which was within the hour. We have been trying to contact Vueling to get any of this money we have spent compensated; we have not even been successful in being reimbursed for the cost of our original ticket.

Gran Canaria-Rome

Economy

No reason given

On 5 October 2026, I was travelling from Gran Canaria (LPA) to Rome Fiumicino (FCO) via Barcelona (BCN), under the same Vueling booking/PNR LNP3JA. My first flight, VY3003 from Gran Canaria to Barcelona, was heavily delayed and arrived in Barcelona more than 3 hours late. Because of this delay, I missed my connecting flight VY6102 from Barcelona to Rome, which was part of the same booking. Vueling rebooked me on flight VY6104 from Barcelona to Rome on 6 October 2026, departing at 15:20. I therefore reached my final destination approximately 18 hours later than originally scheduled. At the Vueling assistance desk in Barcelona, I was told that I was entitled to accommodation and transport because I had to stay overnight. Vueling arranged a taxi to an hotel and told me that the hotel stay would be covered by the airline. However, when I arrived at the hotel, the hotel staff told me that there was no reservation under my name from Vueling and that they had no available rooms for me. As a result, I had to leave the hotel and take another taxi back to Barcelona Airport in order to ask Vueling for further assistance. I had to pay EUR 29.50 for this taxi myself, and I have proof of payment. At the Vueling desk, I was also told that I could potentially be entitled to monetary compensation, even though weather conditions had been mentioned as a possible cause of disruption. I subsequently submitted a compensation claim directly to Vueling (case number 13580154). Vueling rejected the claim stating that my case could not be considered a missed connection. However, both VY3003 and VY6102 were included in the same booking/PNR, and Vueling itself rebooked me onto VY6104 for the following day because I had missed the original connection. Vueling did not provide a detailed explanation as to why this should not be considered a missed connection. I would therefore like AirAdvisor to assess my entitlement to compensation under EU Regulation 261/2004, as well as the reimbursement of the EUR 29.50 taxi expense that I incurred because the hotel accommodation arranged by Vueling was not actually available.

Things went sideways right from the start when our first flight from Santiago got delayed around 09:40. When I asked a flight attendant what was going on, they brushed me off, saying nothing was wrong with the plane and that the captain would come out in 30 minutes to explain. But when the captain finally did come out, there was no loudspeaker announcement at all. Passengers just had to crowd around the flight deck to find out what was happening. Because of that delay, we landed in Barcelona at 12:30 PM and totally missed our connecting flight. That meant we were stuck spending the entire day waiting around at the airportβ€”all the way from morning until our new flight at 19:00 (VY7828, boarding at gate D15). To make things even more frustrating, the update email you sent about the missed connection came way too late and was written entirely in Spanish. Since we were stuck in a foreign airport trying to figure things out, that didn't help us at all. When we finally checked in for our new flight, we were treated like "chance passengers" (standby) and had to wait to see if any seats were actually open, all because you guys changed the aircraft. There was zero priority given to us as morning passengers who missed our connection through no fault of our own. You gave us a single Β£12 meal voucher, but that barely covered anything for a massive all-day wait. By the end of it, we were totally exhausted and stressed out.

Exorbitant expenses for flight cancellation.

I was delayed 10+ hours after my flight was cancelled. Within minutes after arriving at the airport the cancellation was immediately posted. Vueling rebooked me on the evening flight, #VY 6404, 7:55PM. The flight was significantly delayed and we didn't take off until after 10:00PM. That evening, 29 Sept, I had a reservation at a B&B in Padova for one night. The B&B (receipt attached), does not allow check-in's beyond 7:30PM. Of course I could not have anticipated this delay and I was charged regardless of the circumstances because they said they could not resell the room even though I contacted them right after the VY cancellation was posted. I began to call hotels near the Venice Airport and most were booked, I finally found something at the Garden Hilton Inn. It was way beyond my budget but I had no choice, I needed a place to stay. I took a taxi to the hotel and checked-in close to 1:00AM. I am not submitting my taxi and train receipts because I would have been paying similar prices to travel that day had my afternoon flight left on time. Thank you for your consideration, Ms. Janet MacDonald

I arrived at approximately 9:30am, and my luggage did not arrive until after 3pm. I was under the impression and told by staff that there was a chance I would have no clothes for the day, so I only bought the essentials, that is a shirt, pants, shoes, socks, underwear and a charger to keep my phone alive. These were purely essentials. Additionally, I received my luggage soaking wet for a completely unexplained reason, but I will be submitting a damaged luggage claim as well.

It started in Santiago we should have fly out to Barcelona at 0930 and catch our connecting flight by 1225 instead we were told that the plane cannon go because of some documentation problems. We were eventually able to to fly to Barcelona by 1130 or something in the morning and domino effect rolls on when we came to Barcelona because the flight that were supposed to board towards Gatwick already flew instead we were told that we would wait until 1830pm for the next flight, to top it all when we were boarding at the time of 1830pm we were told that we were put on a chance passenger list and that there’s a possibility of not flying back if they overbooked. The stress it cost me is beyond sky high.

Vueling flight credit not provided

Had a Vueling flight booking #BG2LYF from San Sebastian to Barcelona departing Tuesday 24 November 2026. Booking made through Gotogate #1119-956-924. On 21 August Gotogate confirmed that this flight had been cancelled. From options available I selected a flight credit as a refund was not offered. In the specified steps to claim the credit Vueling indicated that the original flight booking number should be entered. However when I did this Vueling has continually indicated that this is an incorrect code. When I pursued the matter with Vueling they confirmed that it should be dealt with by Gotogate. When I pursued the matter with Gotogate they confirmed that I should deal with Vueling.

Barcelona-Palma de Mallorca

Economy

Claim escalated to airline

Unknown

On 2 August 2026, my wife and I were involuntarily denied boarding by Vueling Airlines on our confirmed booking for Flight VY3902, scheduled to depart from Barcelona to Palma de Mallorca at 09:45 AM. We had valid tickets, arrived on time, and met all check-in and boarding requirements. However, we were informed that we could not board because the flight had been overbooked, which was entirely beyond our control. Vueling subsequently rebooked us onto Flight VY3926, which departed at 1:05 PM, resulting in a delay of more than three hours. This significantly disrupted our travel plans and caused us to lose a substantial part of our only day in Mallorca, including pre-planned activities and reservations. I submitted a compensation claim to Vueling under Case Number: 13178750. However, despite the clear circumstances of involuntary denied boarding due to overbooking, I have still not received the compensation to which we are entitled. We were travelling on a vacation and had arrived without our luggage due entirely to Vueling’s baggage handling failure. It is unreasonable to expect passengers to remain without basic toiletries, skincare and personal-care products while waiting indefinitely for their baggage. More importantly, while reimbursing the expenses they have completely ignored the taxi expenses we submitted. One of our two missing bags arrived at Palma Airport after approximately 11:30 PM, and we received communication regarding it at approximately 12:44 AM. Despite the extremely late hour, we arranged a taxi from our hotel to Palma Airport and then back to our hotel solely for the purpose of collecting the delayed bag. This journey would never have taken place had Vueling delivered our baggage correctly. These were not sightseeing, leisure or discretionary transportation expenses. They were a direct consequence of Vueling’s delayed baggage, undertaken specifically to recover our property from the airport. Furthermore, even after making this late-night journey, we were only able to recover one of the two delayed bags.

Lisbon-Palma de Mallorca

Economy

No reason given

I am requesting AirAdvisor’s assistance with a compensation claim concerning Vueling flight VY3437, Lisbon (LIS) – Palma de Mallorca (PMI), operated on 7 August 2026. The flight was significantly delayed. The scheduled arrival time was 11:45, but we arrived at Palma de Mallorca after 14:45, resulting in a delay of more than three hours. The booking reference is EF4FJV and the booking includes 8 passengers. We are therefore claiming €250 per passenger, for a total potential compensation of €2,000 under Regulation (EC) No 261/2004. I initially submitted a compensation claim directly to Vueling. Vueling rejected the claim under reference number 13232980, stating only that there may have been factors beyond its control, such as adverse weather, strikes, diversions, bird strikes or runway closures. However, Vueling did not identify which specific extraordinary circumstance allegedly affected flight VY3437, nor did it provide any evidence demonstrating that such circumstance actually caused the delay. During the delay, passengers were not informed that the disruption had been caused by adverse weather, a strike, a diversion, a bird strike, a runway closure or any other specific extraordinary circumstance. I subsequently formally contested Vueling’s decision and requested details and evidence concerning the alleged extraordinary circumstance, including its nature, timing, duration, causal link to the delay and the reasonable measures taken by Vueling to avoid or minimise the delay. I sent this request twice, but Vueling has not provided any further response. I would therefore like AirAdvisor to take over the claim and pursue the compensation due to the 8 passengers, including any necessary further action against Vueling. I can provide the booking confirmation, correspondence with Vueling, Vueling’s refusal, my subsequent challenges and any other relevant documentation. Booking reference: EF4FJV Flight: VY3437 Date: 7 August 2026 Route: Lisbon (LIS) – Palma de Mallorca (PMI) Scheduled arrival: 11:45 Actual arrival: after 14:45 Number of passengers: 8 Potential compensation: €2,000 Vueling claim reference: 13232980

What to Do Before Contacting Vueling

If you’re thinking of submitting a complaint or claim to Vueling, it’s best to get all your relevant information in order before you begin. Here are a few tips to help you lodge a complaint that will get results.

First, if you’re writing to complain about the service you received (or didn’t), remember that choosing the File a Complaint option will only enable you to explain what happened, but Vueling will not respond. They will just take your complaint and use it internally. If you need the airline to get back to you about something, then choose one of the other options on the page.

Before you call or write:

  • Collect your flight information: Get all your booking details ready—flight number, ticket information, and any other relevant documents that you might find useful during the call or correspondence.
  • Be Clear and To the Point: Explain your issue clearly and use as many details as possible. Customer service representatives need to understand what has happened in order to provide the right assistance.
  • Document Everything: Make notes on your interactions with Vueling customer service. Write down or take screenshots of dates when you spoke with someone, their name, and the details of the conversation. This kind of documentation will be helpful if you need to escalate your issue or refer to previous discussions.

What Can You File a Complaint About?

If you’ve experienced any kind of unpleasant experience during your Vueling flight, then it’s worthy of a complaint. As we mentioned earlier though, Vueling won’t usually respond to general complaints. 

On the other hand, anything having to do with Vueling delays and cancellations, baggage mishandling, or refunds will get a response from the airline. In fact, most passengers who choose to contact Vueling after a flight, do so to submit a claim because of a disruption. You can also complain about denied boarding as well as downgrades in service or seating class.

tip

Good to know: Interestingly, Vueling has been one of the most punctual airlines in Europe. In fact, for 2023, Vueling had a very impressive performance score of 80.85% according to Simple Flying.

Vueling Virtual Assistant Options

Remember Your Passenger Rights

It’s helpful to remember that as a Vueling passenger, you have certain rights that protect you when things go wrong with your trip. So, it’s always a good idea to review these rights to have a better understanding of what you are and aren’t entitled to.

When Vueling Customer Service Doesn’t Respond

If Vueling doesn’t respond to your complaint within 4 weeks or so, or if their response is not unsatisfactory, there are a few steps you can take:

Write a review on TripAdvisor: Many passengers have written reviews about not getting help from customer service, but the airline has written answers to many of these negative reviews.

Vueling Response Tripadvisor

Contact them again: Send a follow-up email or make another phone call. Sometimes, additional reminders prompt a quicker response.

Contact Vueling on Social Media: Write about your concerns on social media platforms because this can sometimes get a customer service representative to respond. Just do not share any vital information publicly and be careful about responding to anyone sending an unsolicited direct message to you. Scams are everywhere, so be sure you know you’re talking to someone from Vueling.

Try contacting National Enforcement Bodies: Each EU country has a National Enforcement Body that oversees airline compliance with passenger rights regulations. 

Let AirAdvisor Handle Your Claim 

You can always let our legal team sort out your claim to get a more favourable response. Since 2017, we’ve been helping passengers around the globe get the compensation they deserve.
