    Vueling is a low-cost Spanish airline based in Barcelona; I flew with Vueling for the first time from Manchester in August 2024. Vueling's main base is at Barcelona-El Prat, which is the Airport that I flew to on my recent trip although they serve many cities and countries around Europe, even reaching into Africa. My experience with Vueling wasn't too great - I found the booking process to be overly complicated via both their app and website - just because they're a low-cost airline doesn't mean they have to make cutbacks to the website too. My seat reservations were changed multiple times from the point of booking to actually arriving and checking in at the Airport - I was also denied the chance to change my seat reservations, even at an extra fee. We travelled as a group of three, and as the seats are in rows of three, it would have been perfectly straightforward to put us all together but it didn't work out that way. To make matters even worse - the group next to me was a family of three, and was in the same situation where the father was separate from his partner and child, with seat switching not possible, I had to put up with a misbehaving child next to me for the entire flight who kept going into my space and even head-butted me. I understand the Airline can't be responsible for other passengers' behaviours but surely to split up a group for no reason makes no sense. I had to request special assistance for a member of my travelling party - it was possible to add this during the booking process but again there was no confirmation of this - a few days after booking I attempted to use their chatbot to get a confirmation of this and I found it next to impossible to speak to a human, I later did receive an email in Spanish which related to the assistance, but this appeared to be impersonal and an automated reply. I did have a small delay waiting to board the flight and I was unhappy with the level of information provided by the Airline regarding why this delay was taking place and how long I'd expect to wait, so the boarding gates were uncomfortable and crowded. The Airport facilities at Manchester were very poor as they used Terminal 3 at the time of my flight. However, it is positive to hear that they are relocating to the newly renovated Terminal 2 in November. WiFi is available in-flight as well as a basic selection of food and drink, not really much for gluten-free, but that's fine for a short flight. I wouldn't use Vueling again if I had an alternative, mainly due to the poor customer service, difficulty making the flight reservations via both the website and app and lack of information provided to passengers. 2*

    I flew Iberian airlines 10 years ago and remembered not have a good experience. I must have had severe amnesia because I foolishly booked a flight with Iberian Airlines. Thinking that after 10 years that the service would have improved. I was sorely mistaken. There was absolutely no human to speak with and calling the help desk was useless. The delay was over 12 hours and counting. I'm writing this review as I am waiting. I took a flight from Naples with a 2 hour layover in Barcelona. As soon as I left the airport, the airport screen stated at 12 noon that the flight was delayed until 22:20 pm. I was given no voucher or accommodation. I am writing this review at 1 am. Over 12 hours after the flight was suppose to leave. There was no representative from Iberian airlines. It is nearly impossible to speak to a customer representative. Many of the passengers attempted to contact Iberian Airlines with no success. I have been there for over 13 hours and all during this time, I have had zero updates about the status of the flight. No text messages, no emails, no calls, no customer relations person giving updates Nothing My suggestion to future customers DO NOT FLY WITY IBERIAN AIRLINES I have flown twice with them and have regretted it. Save yourself the frustrating and unnecessary stress of looking at a monitor that changes every hour stating the new time for departure is 90-120 minutes away, only to have this updated with a new time 1-2 hours latter If I could give a negative number, this airline would definitely deserve it I can not emphasize Please DO NOT FLY WITH IBERIAN AIRLINES You will thank yourself

    Old, dirty plane. Delayed. Surly, rude stews, one of which accused me of accosting her when she backed into my arm with her food cart. The fully booked A-320 was old and dirty. Beverage service is a joke on a 2 hour flight. Bus from the plane to the terminal in Barcelona, no boarding ramp. They did, however, allow several pounds of overweight luggage.

    Barcelona, Spain is what's up! Feelin' like "Mr. Big" again ;D

    "Expectation is the mother of all frustration." - Antonio Banderas In between my British Airways flights, I caught Vueling, an economy airlines based in Spain. I ignored the overall bad reviews and took a chance with the low fare and ¡Hoy! Spanish Movie Star flight schedule;) Like Antonio said I had little expectations boarding my flight. Yet, I found Vueling exceeding what the reviews said. My flight from Paris (CDG) to Barcelona (BCN) via Airbus. Flight crew was friendly and professional. And the flight itself was smooth with no delays. Solid 4-Stars! In the end, I'd fly Vueling again with no hesitation. Just don't expect Boujee as it's simply a "puddle jumper" to get from one European country to the next. To me, it was a perfect choice for short travel in between my long British Airways intercontinental flights. Te Amo;)

    Our return flight path after Vueling's incompetent pilot twice botched the landing and had to do TWO emergency pullups at the last second.

    Booked a short one-way flight from Barcelona to Bilbao. Our incompetent pilot made TWO botched attempts at landing and was unable to do, blaming the weather. However, according to arrivals data from the Bilbao airport, several other flights landed just fine within a few minutes of when our flight's incompetent or impaired pilot could not do so. I think the BIO Tower wisely refused to give him a THIRD try at endangering the lives of passengers and he had to turn the plane around and return back to BCN. I then had to take a grueling 7 hr bus ride to get to Bilbao 9.5 hrs later than scheduled. I emailed Vueling demanding a refund, and got an automated reply stating, "We confirm that we have received your message. We have taken note of your comments and we have forwarded them to the relevant department to take the appropriate measures." It's been a MONTH since then and no other response. I tried calling their "Customer Service" line in Spain -- they have NO toll-free or USA phone number, so it will cost you -- only to get endlessly looped in their automated phone system multiple times, or told "Please hold for an agent." and then their system would immediately drop the call. Reading other reviews here and elsewhere, it is apparently Vueling's policy to simply play dead and keep your money.

    Read my review!

    Well, during this difficult time globally, it's hard to write a negative review for a company. But Vueling has made it easier for me. We booked a short flight from Venice to Barcelona a while ago, way before the Coronavirus was a threat to anyone. So when this virus spread across the world rapidly, out first thought is perhaps we need to cancel. But as weeks passed, the situation in Europe have gotten worse. Both countries: Italy and Spain are on lockdown. Plus, our flight from Los Angeles to Europe was cancelled by the airline, and the government of Spain has aggressively advise against flying unless it's absolutely necessary. With all these factors in place, Vueling Airlines still claims our booked flight is on schedule. On top of that, their website is confusing. It does not allow ticketholders to change a booking, nor allow us to request a refund to original form of payment. I took it to their Facebook page and learned there are A LOT of very upset customers in the same boat. Some who said even 2 days before the scheduled flight into Italy, their webpage still says it's on time, even though the entire country is on lockdown. The consensus is Vueling is playing tricks, purposely not canceling any flights so they would not have to refund any money, hoping the customer will cancel and lose out. Also, they only offer vouchers that needs to be used by the end of 2020, which apparently is not allowed accordng to Spain's Aviation Agency (see photo) Needless to say, no one that's been given the runaround by this airline holding the funds will be flying with them, ever. Note: This review is dated March 24, 2020. For people reading this far into the future, we're going through the Coronavirus that's affecting the entire globe.

    Hundreds stranded by Vueling...

    Vueling = Crap There are things we expect from a low-cost airline... small seats, added costs for luggage, added costs for carry-ons, added costs to reserve a seat, added costs for food and drinks on-board, etc. These are things we expect in exchange for low airfares and good routes. What we DON'T expect are spectacularly rude staff, and malfunctioning check-in equipment that leads to Vueling-caused colossally long lines served by one single arrendant. I don't know what events in life lead a person down the path to working for Vueling Airlines -- but it must some kind of horrific descent into hell. Needless to say, the journey ends in the desparate sadness of being the singe attendant to a line of more than 200 unhappy people.

Once I found my bag wouldn't fit as a carry-on, I was told I will need to check it, which is fine. I was already checked in, but the rep at the front told me I had to wait through the entire check in line to get my bag checked. When all I needed to do was go to the bag drop. Why didn't the rep simply explain that? I wait for 40 minutes and get to the check in rep who tells me I need to go to the next line over to pay for it. What? Why can't I just pay at the location I dropped my bag off. Turns out I can, but the rep never told me I could. It gets better. So I go to the next line over to the bag drop and wait 15 minutes at which point the rep tells me in need to go to THE OTHER LINE at the service window to pay. I then wait another 15 minutes at the service window to pay and then I had to go back to the original check in rep (and wait a couple more minutes) to get the receipt for my luggage. Please total that up. Yes, I had to wait in 3 lines (almost 4) and well over an hour just to check my bag. That is the absolute antithesis of anything I would consider "Easy". EasyJet, please review your processes and staff training to be more informative and accommodating.

Manager tried to get physically aggressive with my husband as we expressed our concerns of how many people will miss their flights based on their 1 line for international and 8 OPEN lines for domestic with no signs indicating this. (they even admitted they don't have signs for this!) Lucky we came to the airport 6 hours in advance today, because this company isn't getting another penny from me trying to give international patrons a runaround like this 100% on purpose. Rude.
