Vueling customer service: UK phone number, chat, complaints and claims

Vueling runs almost all after-sales service through virtual assistants – chat-style forms for compensation, refunds, expenses, luggage and complaints – and keeps a phone line in each main market, including the UK. These are the routes listed in Vueling’s Help Centre, checked 10 November 2026.

Vueling phone numbers

Vueling’s Help Centre article Contact – All our phone numbers lists:

CountryNumberPersonal service
United Kingdom020 3514 3971Monday–Sunday, 7am–10pm Spanish time
Spain900 645 000 or 931 225 400Monday–Sunday, 7am–10pm Spanish time
Rest of the world+34 931 518 158Monday–Sunday, 7am–10pm Spanish time
  • Spanish time is one hour ahead of UK time, so the UK line is staffed from 6am to 9pm in Britain.
  • Vueling states charges only for some countries (for example Germany, Italy and Switzerland). It gives none for the UK; 020 is a London landline number, priced like any UK landline call.
  • Ireland is not listed separately; from Ireland, the “rest of the world” number applies.
  • Premium customers have a dedicated number shown on their virtual card in the app.

Virtual assistants: Vueling’s chat for everything after booking

Vueling says you can do these things “directly on our chats”: check the status of a claim, manage a damaged or lost luggage incident, request compensation for overbooking, delay or cancellation, request a refund for a justified reason, and file a complaint. Each has its own assistant, linked from the Help Centre:

RequestAssistant
Compensation (cancellation, delay, denied boarding, schedule change, missed connection)Request compensation
Meals, hotel, transport you paid forReimbursement of expenses
Refund for a justified reason; unused servicesRefund – justified reasons; refund for service not used
ComplaintFile a complaint

You need your booking code and the email used to book. Vueling publishes no complaints email address or reply time.

EU261/UK261 compensation from Vueling

Vueling is a Spanish airline, so EU261 covers all its flights to and from the EU: €250 / €400 / €600 depending on distance. On flights from the UK, UK261 applies (£220 / £350 / £520). Vueling’s 2026 passenger-rights notice says compensation is paid by bank transfer, or by voucher only with the passenger’s signed agreement – so you do not have to accept a voucher. Expenses are claimed on the separate assistant, with receipts. More on Vueling’s record and typical cases: Vueling delay compensation.

Lost luggage and refunds

  • Luggage: report the problem at the arrival airport and keep the reference, then use “Manage luggage incident” in the Help Centre. Legal deadlines are 7 days for damage and 21 days for delay – see delayed baggage and lost baggage.
  • Refunds: if Vueling cancels your flight you can choose a refund instead of a new flight; the law requires payment within 7 days. See flight refund rights.

Where to escalate

Vueling is not in a CAA-approved ADR scheme. If it rejects your claim or does not reply:

Vueling’s Help Centre gives no postal address for complaints. Keep the case number from each assistant as your evidence.
