Is it possible to get excited about a Vueling flight? When it's taking you to Barcelona for the first time in years then it's a definite YES!
Join me as I fly and review Vueling, Spain's low cost carrier, and find why I'm Happy to be Vueling Again!
This Vueling flight review covers my flight from Bilboa to Barcelona and shows the entire experience from check-in to arriving in Barcelona. In between I show you the boarding process, the Vueling seat and the Vueling service.
Here's a link to the Ryanair flight review I mention in the video: • Losing my Ryanair Virg...

Dennis, hello from Utah, USA! I have been a follower of your channel for several years now, since well before the crazy pandemic. I so missed your regular videos during those dark times and just felt so lucky when you could upload ANY kind of video..it just taught me that I needed to be thankful for what I had. Anyway, it is awesome to see you back to your great old ways of uploading videos on a regular basis. Thank you for all you do my friend and keep safe! PEACE!

So great to see people sitting and waiting to get off. I have heard flight attendants say over the PA many times (including a recent flight) to please stay seated and let passengers with tight connections get off the plane first but few listen and then get up and block the people who do need to make a connection.

Good to see you back Dennis! I've never understood the compulsion of some passengers try to board an aircraft as soon as possible and then try to get off as soon as possible at the end of the journey - especially in short haul. That 'clacking' of seat belt buckles as the plane edges into the gate is like a starter gun for the Olympic 100m final! It's like passengers trying to edge their way to be as close to the gate desk as possible, even though they could be in boarding group 99 😂 It does seem faster and more efficient to board the rear rows first and disembark the front rows first. However, you have alluded to my major annoyance: I sometimes treat myself to a seat at the front of the cabin, and it's annoying to board and see a load of empty seats, but only full lockers, so there's no room for my carry-on near my seat 😪

It is far too long since I have visited Barcelona. I may have to arrance a trip. I've actually only visited for pleasure twice, but around a dozen times for work (between 4 and 10 days each time). A wonderfully relaxed and happy place to be. On one trip I went with an Italian engineer who had never visited the city before, and told him that there was a local bylaw that only 'beautiful people' were allowed on the street after 9 pm. By 9:30 he had accepted it as fact . . .

Glad to see you in Spain Dennis! I would say Vueling is not comparable to Ryanair but I can’t, because I’ve never flown Ryanair 🤣 I’ve flown Vueling tens of times though and I’m overall quite satisfied with their no-thrills service. Also they used to have good deals pre-COVID.

@daviddewhurst4708 2 жыл бұрын

I enjoyed my first Vueling flight from SCO to LGW in May; friendly crew although they did draw the curtain at the front of the cabin after service and locked the forward toilet so the entire cabin crew could chat uninterrupted! Also, like yourself, Dennis, in-flight wifi didn't function (nor did the USB power). Disembarkation at LGW was disciplined as in your video. Thanks for sharing! PS Their website can be a bit tricky - you have to scroll through departure options to find the cheapest. I signed up for their fare alert service and found the fare for my selected flight actually dropped 3 weeks out from departure.

Great video as always dear Dennis! I've flown on Vueling four times between 2017 and 2021 now and it was always pretty enjoyable, even tho it seemed to have pretty bad legroom on my first flight with them on an A320ceo back then in 2017. However my last flight with them in Autumn 2021 from Leipzig (Germany) to Paris-Orly was a bit of a disaster, as we departed LEJ about 4,5 hours late because of a technical malfunction with one of the lavatories. I claimed my 250€ per person EU flightrights but they declined, however it says online that this type of delay is not a valid reason for the airline not to compensate passengers. But to be fair the crew was really nice and offered everyone on board free snacks and drinks which for sure isn't the norm with a LCC like Vueling.

Vueling is by far the best discount airline I've flown. Unlike Ryanair, Easyjet and the dreaded Jetstar, Vueling planes are always clean, the crew are polite and the passengers are civilised. It almost feels like a premium airline. I strongly recommend them.

Enjoyed this video Dennis . It’s refreshing to see a flight with a LCC reviewed . I was impressed with the overall experience , and an airline I would consider when travelling in Europe . BTW , the contrast I’ve recently experienced with the security and plane boarding / disembarking at Bilbao and Barcelona compared to Sydney is like dark and light . I shouldn’t criticise but Sydney was a disgrace on my last flight a few weeks ago . I’m flying to ADL in a few weeks , and hope to see a improvement at Sydney by then . Cheers Dennis and here’s to many more great flights .👍

I have a bloody pet hate and that’s when the boarding is from the rear and passengers seated up the front put their cases in the REAR overhead lockers so those sitting at the back either have to put theirs, if it can fit, under the seat in front or else use the lockers further forward! Why some cabin crews allow this to happen I have no earthly idea. Good video!
