Top 5 Things I like About Vueling
Vueling is a low-fare airline based in Barcelona. Maybe you don’t know them yet since it was established in 2004. As I already wrote in a previous post, I’m going to Spain next May. The planning is going well. We’ve decided to take a plane from Sevilla to Barcelona and another one from Barcelona to Madrid because it is less expensive (… and long) than the train.
Since we have flexible dates, we’ve explored all the possibilities. We compared Air Europa and Iberia on most of the possible dates and we finally decided to go with… Vueling! We’ve found them a bit late, but we’ve booked fast. Actually, we have been looking for the best deal with Air Europa and Iberia for a week and finally we booked with Vueling within 1 hour only. Really cheap fare, good reviews and comments on the Internet and very easy to use website.
Here is a top 10 of things I like about Vueling’s website and Internet strategy.
They don’t ask “Are your dates flexible?”.
Does it really matter if my dates are not flexible? I don’t get the point of asking. If they are not flexibles, I just have to ignore the other results.
The price per flight is all inclusive
It is written 40 Euros, it’s 40 Euros!
You can easily change your flight
You can change your flight for a surcharge of 30 Euros… but a least you can!
You can choose and change your seat whenever your want
Ok, not that important, but it’s a part of the “experience”!
Select your flight, Your flight, Payment
Simple and clear. They don’t try to sell you anything else during the process.
And by the way, a couple of things that could be improved :
- I can’t see the calendar with Safari.
- I feel like the website is not totally optimized for search engines. Actually it is very difficult to find them when searching for low airfare in Spain on Google.
