Where will Vueling fly from the UK this summer?

Vueling, the low cost short-haul carrier within the IAG group and a sister airline of British Airways, has a very fluid UK route network.

This has been especially true post-pandemic, with the airline being used to keep valuable take-off and landing slots at Heathrow and Gatwick in use on behalf of British Airways.

As you can earn and spend Avios on Vueling flights, we thought it was worth a look at where you can fly this summer.

How to earn and spend Avios on Vueling

Vueling flights can be booked with Avios.  There are two totally different ways of doing it:

• redeem via Vueling Club on a revenue-based basis (eg the points price is the cash cost of the flight divided by a fixed value per Avios) or

• redeem via Iberia Plus, using the standard Avios pricing chart which is based on distance

The former does not require reward seats to be available, unlike the latter. The former also lets you pay for 100% of the cost of your flight with Avios, including the taxes and charges.

Full details of how to earn and redeem Avios points on Vueling flights can be found in this HfP article.

You can find out more, and book, on the Vueling website here.
