    Definitely a budget airline! Took a flight from Basel to Barcelona and service in Basel excellent, including their wheelchair assistance. The flight was only slightly delayed but totally packed flight! There was a limit on carry on of 10 kg and they were very strict with this. Also strict liquid limits, my 3.8 oz lotion was confiscated. There were no free drink or food options...only pay ones. But on their last flight of the day, you can get 50% discount. Seats are all small and do not recline and there is no entertainment. Luckily we only needed to fly this airline once on this trip!

    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.

    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.

    You get what you pay for. Level is a budget airline from Iberia. I booked my SFO-BCN flight…read more(early-Feb) about 60 days from my travel date (mid-Apr) on Level's website. The flight to BCN had a 3-hour layover in Madrid, enough time to go through immigration and security checks, restrooms breaks, and a stroll through DFS. This flight was serviced by Iberia, 12 hours from SFO to Madrid. This leg included food and beverage service much to my surprise as I had previously read these "amenities" were extra. In preparation for the worse I even packed a 3L camelbak bladder which I didn't take one sip till I was as Madrid. The plane was an Airbus and seat arrangement was 2-4-2. The flight from Madrid to BNC was a quickie (1 hour) and on a smaller airplane, 3-3 seating. No complaints really going to BCN. However, coming back was a completely different story. I had let my guard down. We were running a little late due to traffic and luggage check. So when I got to the gate I wasn't thinking about anything. My 3L bladder was empty. Luckily I had time to buy a sandwich and grabbed two regular bottles of water. I say luckily because this flight was non-stop and operated by Level. 12.5 hours no beverage or food service what-so-ever! You may ask for a cup of water which comes with a judgemental glares and sip it guilt-fully. I had to ration my 2 bottles of water, taking small sips just to clear my throat. And don't get me started on airplane seat etiquette. The jerk in front of me just laid his seatback down as soon as it was allowed and kept it there all 12 hours! Anyways.... be warned, if your flight is on a Level plane and you got a "deal" BYOB (and water)!!! At least there was a screen for in-flight entertainment.

The flight attendants were rude and spoke Spanish or another foreign language the whole time so you couldn't understand them. I really felt scared that the plane might not even make it over the ocean truthfully. Very creepy behaviors and they treated all of the passengers like we were inconveniencing them. On American long flights include a pillow, a blanket, dinner, drinks, snacks, and earbuds. Other than a small cup of water WE HAD TO PAY FOR EVERYTHING ELSE OUT OF OUR POCKET! I contacted Level and they did not really care and wouldn't be refunding the company that paid for our flights or us personally for what we had to purchase to survive the 9 1/2 hour flight. NEVER TRAVEL WITH LEVEL!!

    We made the grievous error of booking a business class flight from Lisbon to Barcelona through…read moreMadrid. From the first second we arrived at the airport, Iberia continually reached new lows. They did not post a gate for checkin until less than an hour and forty minutes prior to departure. Then the gates they posted did not have any staff. Now 90 minutes from departure another passenger/victim discovered all 200 people were at the wrong check-in desks. We had to run for 5 minutes and were able to get checked in about an hour before the flight. Security was decent and we arrived at the listed gate with about 50 minutes to spare. The fun was only beginning. While standing in the free for all line, they changed the gate so we all ran to the new one. The gate agents had no clue their gate was our flight, and had no interest in helping anyone find out what was going on. Lo and behold, with less than 30 minutes before the scheduled takeoff, Ms. I don't give a crap announced that the original gate was now correct. So run to that gate and stand in another line. They then changed the flight to almost an hour delay so ciao bambino to our connecting flight to Barcelona. After standing in line for another 30 minutes, we finally boarded. Landing in Madrid after the connection had left, we went to the original Barcelona gate and asked the agent what we should do? We obviously interrupted some very important games of solitaire or tinder romances as she disdainfully waved us away to go to the help desk. So, off we went and found 3 non-functional kiosks and not one sentient being, or at least a breathing Iberia representative. We then had the brilliant idea to go to the Iberia business lounge and see if they could help us. We finally ran into someone who at least showed a modicum of interest and helpfulness and were put on standby for a flight in 3 hours. We asked about our luggage catching up to us and we received the very assuring "maybe". 30 minutes later, we both received economy seats 21 rows apart but we did not care. Flight left on time and arrived on schedule. We checked our Apple ID tags and all of our luggage was still in Madrid so off to find the lost luggage desk. After asking a half dozen people and wandering around for 30 minutes, we found it. Shockingly, there was a line of over 20 people waiting to report lost bags. The story is not over yet as we have been waiting for over 45 minutes and are only marginally closer to the two beleaguered agents. Where this nightmare will end is anyone's guess. We fly all the time and can safely say Iberia is the worst airline known to man or woman. From the complete disorganization and unhelpful attitudes, I am shocked they are not extinct. I guess when government runs an airline, there are no consequences for incompetence and they just keep gorging on the public teat. I would rather hitch hike in a two sizes too small speedo with a transparent bag of $100s around my neck than suffer through another Iberia "flight". Y'all have been warned and can only blame yourselves if you are foolish - no, stupid enough - to ever use Iberia. Caveat Emptor cannot be stressed strongly enough.

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.
