Vueling: 58 flights canceled this Monday due to the crew strike

The Vueling cabin crew strike has forced the preventive cancellation of 58 flights, as announced by the company. Thus, 89% of scheduled flights will operate normally. The impact will be greater in the case of Barcelona, ​​where the operation will be 82%. The stoppages called by the Stavla union demand a salary increase of 13.4% for this 2022.

The first is to request reimbursement for the affected journey, which will be made within the following 7 days. The second is alternative transportation to the final destination as quickly as possible. Finally, there is the possibility of changing to other flights "at a later date or time, at your convenience". Yes, as long as there are seats available.
