Flight delays have become a regular feature of travel, and you’re bound to experience one sooner or later. But hopefully you won’t have to deal with long delays or cancellations that stand to sabotage your journey. 

Because you’re flying with Vueling, you have a pretty good chance of being minimally affected by any flight disruption. The carrier’s estimated punctuality score for 2024 is an impressive 87.3% - meaning that 87.3% of flights have arrived on time.

In previous years, Vueling also performed well. In 2023, OAG ranked the carrier high among other low cost airlines with an on-time performance score of 92%!  

Why Your Vueling Flight is Delayed or Cancelled

• Airline strikes and other staffing concerns like the recent shortages we’ve seen over the past few years.
• Safety and maintenance issues with the aircraft
• Air traffic control restrictions
• Not having enough passengers for a flight can result in cancellations
• Hurricanes and other severe storms, floods, snowstorms, and high winds
• Technological problems affecting either the airline or entire regions like the Crowdstrike outage
• Airport-related problems or strikes

What To Do if Your Flight is Disrupted

Above all, stay calm. If your flight is delayed by 2 or more hours, ask for meal and refreshment vouchers. If your delay is extensive and you have to wait overnight, you can also get hotel accommodation and transport to and from the hotel. 

For cancelled flights, you can ask for a refund or a rebooking. Vueling has a responsibility to get all passengers to the final destination as quickly as possible. And remember that if you have to wait in the airport for your new flight departure, you’re entitled to care and assistance from the carriers, so don’t hesitate to ask for meal vouchers and the like.

If your Vueling flight was delayed, canceled or overbooked within the last 3 years, you could be eligible for up to €600 in compensation.Check Your Flight

Ways to Avoid Vueling Delays and Cancellations

To avoid having flight delays and cancellations, you should try to book direct flights early in the morning, as these are less likely to be delayed. Also, pick Vueling direct flights over those with connections, if possible, and steer clear of busier travel times like summer and winter holiday seasons. Finally, stay informed! You can do this via the Vueling app and also by checking the departures and arrivals board in the airport. Both will alert you to any disruptions or gate changes.
