Vueling

Looking at going to BCN next March and according to the Veuling website flights are not available after 31 October until 24 March 2017. Glitch or summer only?

 

[White Heather]

Supposed to be an all year round service. Hopefully a glitch!

 

[Gray Ham]

Vueling website still shows no LBA-BCN flights for winter16/17;resuming end of March. Incidentally the website shows no LPL-BCN flights for either this winter OR next summer

I just checked for flights next April/May and it was coming up - also operated by A321 equipment

Excuse my ignorance but what do you mean by "operated by A321 equipment"?

 

[oldendays]

Airbus A321, the 'long wheelbase' version of the narrowbody Airbus family. Similar size to a Boeing 757.

Still nothing on the app for winter. With only 6 weeks until the winter schedule starts, it does look very much like this has been lost as a year round concern.

So Vueling will be operating both A320 and A321 aircraft? The word "equipment" confused me at first which is why I had to ask. Thanks.

Was Vueling Leeds' third or fourth option for Barcelona? In anycase it is probably the best served city from LBA after Heathrow and Amsterdam and the best in terms of airline choice.

Typically when airlines have different aircraft capable of operating a route throughout the period of operation they will mark it down in timetables as EQV i.e. equipment varies. However, if Vueling is showing A321 then that's the aircraft that will be operating (with the proviso that operational changes can happen on the day).

Thanks for the information David_itl. You learn something new every day!

Don't forget Vueling have moved around the Leeds - Barcelona schedule for the next week due to the ending of the summer 2016 schedule.

It will now operate on the following 4 dates and timings..

SAT - October 22nd = ETA 17:00 / ETD 17:45
MON - October 24th = ETA 20:10 / ETD 21:00
SAT - October 29th = ETA 17:00 / ETD 17:45
SUN - October 30th = ETA 12:45 / ETD 13:30

It's a bit late to get into BCN when Jet2/Monarch offer earlier arrivals. I assume they are targeting Spanish residents.

 

[Aviador]

I'm sure you are right "Seasider" but I am sure there are plenty of Spanish people will find this flight useful.

Vueling with BCN will be thinking of Spanish tourists and also the cruise industry. Cardiff often has 21.00 departures and it doesn't seem to effect their loads.

 

[Tarn Spotter]

It should be remembered that eating out in spain a lot later then the u.k. especially in summer.
When in Spain we never eat before 10pm, we need recovery time after a leisurely lunch from 2pm to 5pm.
In mid summer we would eat out midnight or later.

 

[Seasider]

I'd find it hard to eat out at Midnight when I am usually in bed by 10pm!

hmm not sure if its a glitch in the website but Vueling - BCN appears not to be bookable..
