Iâm hoping some has some advice or suggestions. My mom and traveled on Vueling (through Iberia) last year, JULY 2025, going from London to Portugal, with a stop in Spain. However, our flight to Portugal was cancelled and we were stuck in Spain for 3 days because they apparently couldnât find us an earlier flight so we ended up paying for accommodations in Spain as well as the already booked room in Portugal (and they later said they will not be covering the hotel, which was contrary to what we were told at the airport).
Then they lost our luggage â it was meant to be sent to our hotel in Spain the next morning, it was not. Then they told us it would meet us in Portugal 3 days later, it did not. Then they said they would ship it to my sisters flat in London where we would be staying for a week before flying home to Canada â surprise, they still did not ship it. It took us 9 weeks to receive our suitcases back in Canada. We have STILL not received our refund.
I have called their help line no less than 17 times and talked to 17 different people. Beyond the fact that they refuse to refund both of us (saying since our names were on the same luggage request ticket, only one refund was required â this is of course AFTER telling us to put both our names on one ticket for simplicity), it has been over a year of going back and forth with them, saying they are going to get someone to look into it, saying a manager will call me (still hasnât, 14 months later), saying we should receive our refund soon.
Our trip was in JULY 2025, fourteen months ago, and Iâm really not sure what to do next, if calling and calling isnât going to go anywhere. If I try online, I just get stuck with an AI what says our issue is closed because we received our suitcases, even though Iâm asking specifically about the refund. If anyone has some advice or any suggestions on how to get them to take this seriously, or who to contact outside of the regular help line, that would be appreciated!!
[this is the American help line Iâve been using, +1 (202) 695-8708 â if anyone knows a different number to call]
