Which arbitration body is responsible for Vueling?

Vueling does not take part in the Schlichtungsstelle Reise & Verkehr scheme. The government-run Schlichtungsstelle Luftverkehr at the German Federal Office of Justice is responsible instead.

It accepts claims from 10.01 to 5,000 euros and covers privately booked flights only — business trips are excluded.

Before that you must raise the claim directly with the airline and allow it two months to respond — unless it has already rejected the claim.

Frequently Asked Questions about Vueling

May I be entitled to compensation from Vueling?
If your Vueling flight was delayed by at least 3 hours, cancelled, or you were denied boarding, you may be entitled to up to 600 EUR compensation under EU Regulation 261/2004.
How do I file a complaint with Vueling?
You can contact Vueling directly or through their contact page. Alternatively, we generate a legally sound complaint letter from just EUR 10.
How long does Vueling take to respond?
There is no single EU-wide response deadline — in practice most airlines reply within a few weeks. If Vueling does not respond or rejects your claim, you can escalate to the relevant national enforcement body or an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) entity. How long you have to wait first depends on the country: eight weeks in the UK, two months in Germany, 30 days in Poland.
Does EU261 apply to Vueling flights outside the EU?
EU261 applies to all flights departing from the EU, Iceland, Norway, Liechtenstein or Switzerland — regardless of which airline operates them. For flights from a third country into the EU, it applies only if the operating airline holds an operating licence from one of those states. What counts is that licence, not the company's headquarters — for groups with several airlines the two can differ. Vueling holds such a licence, so flights into the EU are covered as well.
What does the complaint letter service cost?
Our service costs a flat fee from EUR 10 per letter — no success fee, no hidden costs. For comparison: AirHelp charges 35% + 15% and Flightright up to 52% of your compensation.
Which arbitration body is responsible for Vueling?
Vueling does not take part in the Schlichtungsstelle Reise & Verkehr scheme. The government-run Schlichtungsstelle Luftverkehr at the German Federal Office of Justice is responsible instead.
