The airline announced the measure in a statement published Saturday evening, advising travellers to review their flight status ahead of departure. Affected customers may reschedule their travel for any date within the next two days or request a refund in the form of a flight credit. Vueling warns that further last-minute changes are possible and urges passengers to monitor their flight status via the airline’s official channels. --- ## Storm Disrupts Air Traffic Heavy rain and thunderstorms across Catalonia have forced air traffic controllers to increase spacing between aircraft, reducing the number of take-offs and landings. According to reports, this has led to significant delays, up to four hours, and multiple cancellations at El Prat on Saturday, 3 October. Aena, Spain’s airport authority, advises passengers to verify check-in times and terminal details directly with their airline, even after arriving at the airport, as conditions remain fluid. Checking flight status by flight number on [Aena's Infovuelos portal](https://www.aena.es/en/barcelona-airport/flights.html?ref=barna.news) or through the airline’s app is strongly recommended. > An announced delay should not be interpreted on one's own as permission to arrive later. ### Passenger Rights Remain in Place Even when disruptions are caused by weather, airlines retain certain obligations under EU regulations. If a flight is cancelled, passengers are entitled to choose between a full refund or re-routing to their destination on the next available service. Under EU Regulation 261/2004, those facing delays of three hours or more on eligible routes, including UK–Barcelona flights, may be entitled to compensation of up to €400, depending on distance. Claims can be submitted via [Vueling’s online claims portal](https://www.vueling.com/en/customer-service/claims?ref=barna.news). Passengers are advised to keep all boarding passes and documentation related to delays or cancellations. --- *Reported by Europa Press, insideflyer.com, democrata.es, traveltourister.com, que.es, preferente.com, Europa Press Barcelona.* --- ### Related on Barna.News - [Renfe suspends trains amid flood alerts in Catalonia](https://barna.news/renfe-suspends-trains-amid-flood-alerts/) - [Aena denies delays in Barcelona Airport expansion](https://barna.news/aena-denies-delays-in-barcelona-airport/) - [Barcelona Tram T1-T3 Out for Three Days in October](https://barna.news/barcelona-tram-t1-t3-out-for-three-days/) - [270,000 vehicles expected back to Barcelona on Sunday](https://barna.news/270-000-vehicles-expected-back-to/)
