How to Change a Vueling Flight?

Your travel plans can change without even giving you notice, and that also impacts your flight booking. But before stress comes over your head Vueling Airlines provides you with the option of changing your flight. You can easily change your flight by logging into “My Trips” on the airlines official website or mobile app. You need to pay the change fee and fare difference to proceed with the changes.

That's the short answer. 

But you still might be wondering about the Vueling Airlines flight change policy, the flight change fees and ways to avoid this fee. So fret not; here are the steps and everything else worth knowing.

Quick steps to change your Vueling flight:

• Visit the Vueling website or use the Vueling App.
• Select "Manage my booking" or "My Trips.
• Please insert your booking reference and surname of passenger.
• Click on the flight you would like to modify.
• Select "Change flight" from the menu, and select the desired date or time from the calendar.
• See the change fee (if applicable) and fare difference on the screen.
• Final payment will be taken to confirm the new flight.
• Save or print your confirmation email.

Please note that changes you make impact upon all passengers listed on this booking; Vueling cannot proceed with a change of itinerary for one passenger and leave other passengers on the original flight. It is also impossible to change your origin or destination city or any other fare type in the same booking using a self-service date change.

What is Vueling Airlines Flight Change Policy?

The Vueling Airlines flight change policy allows you to change your flight till 2 hours before your scheduled flight time, but your fare change costs depends entirely on the fare type in question and any extra costs you may have booked with at the time of booking. Let's see how it's really applied:

• Standard fares (Fly / Fly Light): You should pay a standard change fee of around €45–55+ per passenger per change, plus any fare difference between the two flights.
• Flexible fares & bundles: There are no limits when you change when you fly Grande, TimeFlex fares or get Premium status - it's only a fare difference you pay, never the fee for changing at all.
• Flex Pack add-on: Effective from the date of the booking, this will eliminate the regular change fee if added at the time of taking the booking when traveling on a basic fare, so there will only be the fare difference to cover.
• Bringing a flight forward: Moving to an earlier flight on the same day is €40 per person, except that it is usually combined with your ticket or add-on and is therefore free.
• 24-hour grace period: You can avoid the booking fees for changes by addressing a booking error within 24 hours of booking, and proceed to amend the date or time of your booking, if necessary (only fare difference applies, if there is any).
• Same Day Changes: As per Vueling Airlines same day flight change policy the airline allows you to change to an earlier flight on the same day, provided there is open seat availability.
• Exceptional circumstances: You may need to submit the medical documents to avoid the change fee if you are suffering from any kind of medical condition.

By familiarizing yourself with Vueling's flight change policy, you can feel confident in your travel arrangements, knowing you have flexibility in case of any adjustments that need to be made and won't end up in an additional dent in your wallet.

Does Vueling Charge for Flight Change?

Yes, in most instances, Vueling charges for a flight change, except where the passenger has booked a fare or a service which also offers free changes. This will be dependent on the distance from the departure, as well as any flexibility extras that you purchased. Here's a simple breakdown of Vueling Airlines flight change fee that you should keep in mind before proceeding with changes:

If you look at the Vueling Airlines flight change fee, there may be a slight variance in price that could depend on the season or route taken, so make sure to check the amount you see on its screen before you make the change. An additional point to note is that the difference in fare is the difference after the change fee.

Can I Change Date & Time on Vueling?

Yes, you can change the date and time of your Vueling flight, and you can do this, independently online, two hours in advance of your departure. Use the "My Trips" self-service tool to check on a different date or time on the same date to see if there are any alternate flights available with seats still open. Things you can't apply here include choosing a different city, or changing to a different class of fare, but these modifications are made by creating a new ticket and canceling the old one.

Vueling will work to maintain your original seat category if you do make a date/time change. Should the seat type he or she is already booking for be unavailable during booking operations on the new flight, it is likely that he or she will be bumped up one type of seat to the next, not down. Any extras you've already paid for (such as checked bags, priority boarding, check-in for pets, etc.) will be automatically transferred to the next flight; you don't need to repurchase extras.

How Do I Reschedule My Vueling Flight Without Losing Money?

Timing and fare choice are the most important elements if you're looking for a rescheduling flight plan without the additional fees. Vueling reschedule flight free for all customers if their flight changes request is made within 24 hours of their booking. After that, a Flex Pack, TimeFlex fare, or Premium status will prevent you from paying an administrative fee, and therefore only have to cover any actual price difference between the rate of your two fares.

Otherwise Vueling's change policy offers fee-free changes in genuine exceptional circumstances (for example, a passenger on the booking is unwell or is having a scheduled surgery or a high risk pregnancy, or is subject to a court summons etc.). In these situations, you will need to provide supporting documentation, and will only be asked to pay the difference in fare, if there is any such difference. A more 'Direct' route than the regular flexibility options, but in place for situations really "out of control".

What if my flight is changed by Vueling itself?

Sometimes, it's not a change you are asking for, it is the schedule change that Vueling makes to itself. If you are sent an e-mail informational message of a change in your booking, there will be no corresponding charge for you to accept a Vueling alternative or choose another option in the booking. Check the changes and control them directly on "My Trips", as the alternatives will be already loaded for you to choose from. Depending on the circumstances of a disruption, you might also be able to receive a refund or Flight Credit if none of the options above is available to you for your plans.
