Contacting directly the airline can be challenging at times. The majority of the passengers that review and evaluate the airline customer service consider it to be slow and inefficient.

  • Location where the disruption occurred
  • Information about the length of delays
  • The names of any staff you spoke to

You should know it’s always best to keep all the documents that were used until the end of your travel, because in this kind of scenario you should be able to provide as much evidence you can and any supporting documents to sustain your claim:

  • allrelevant receipts from the airport, if you are claiming expenses
  • tickets, boarding cards and booking confirmation
  • emails from the airline and phone records

I was informed our flight was cancelled with no reason as to why and given the option to purchase a ticket for the next day and we didn't have a place to stay. So we had to buy a ticket from a different airline to get back to Valencia

We were bumped off our original flight, DESPITE HAVING BOOKED IT SIX MONTHS IN ADVANCE. We waited for the flight to board, as instructed. There were two other passengers who had the same thing happen. These passengers, it sounded like, were given 300 euros of compensation each. After waiting in line behind them at the gate, the gate agent rudely and abruptly told us she was shutting down and we had to go elsewhere to arrange our new flight. We then walked to the other side of the airport where we were put on a flight five hours after our original flight. We were not offered any compensation by that agent. After requesting, we were given a voucher for a meal, but it was only at one location which provided us with a mediocre sandwich, a bag of chips, and water. Anything else, including a soda, was an extra expense to us.   In addition to arriving at IBZ five hours late, the airline did not deliver our luggage until the evening after we arrived (24 hours later), which caused us to incur expenses to buy additional clothing to continue our trip and the excursions we had already purchased. At this point, I will never book a Vueling flight again unless they properly compensate us for the inconvenience and rudeness of their gate agent.

missing gate info on boarding pass and departure display

Documents
After checking in at 9:10 AM and passing through security at 9:20 AM, I immediately went to look for the departure gate. Unfortunately, I could not find the gate information on either my boarding pass or the airport displays. At 9:25 AM, I asked for help from a member of staff at the information desk in Terminal 1. The employee (blue uniform, blond hair) could not find my flight on the departure boards either and sent me in the direction of Gate B. Around 9:35 AM, I spoke to two other female employees on the upper floor in area B, who directed me to area D. There I asked for help again. Together with another employee in a high-visibility vest, we searched the departure boards for the gate – without success. Despite an intensive search for 30 minutes, from 9:20 AM until departure at 9:50 AM, I could not find the gate for Vueling VY1813 and missed my flight. In my opinion, this failure is due to the lack of and incorrect information provided by Munich Airport and Vueling Airlines. Had the gate information been correctly displayed on my boarding pass or the display boards, I would have been able to reach my flight without any problems. The misleading instructions from the airport staff further aggravated the situation. This is not an isolated case, as I met two other ladies who were also flying with Vueling and were also searching in vain for their departure gates.
