About VECA
How to claim compensation for delay from VECA?
A delay, last minute cancellation of your flight with VECA, problems with your luggage, damage, loss or non-arrival? If your flight has been delayed for more than 3 hours with the airline, you are entitled to claim compensation between 250 and 600 euros with your flight claimant Reclamio. If your belongings have also suffered problems, let us know why you are entitled to claim compensation.
How to claim reimbursement of flight delay or cancellation costs from VECA?
The second step is in the "Claim expenses" option, also on the website. In the form to claim in case of delay or cancellation of your flight with VECA, you enter this section, which is next to "Additional information". Once there, you have to enter the following information:
In the box, within the VECA website, you will find "Your Question", which includes each of the answers you need for your claim. If data is missing, your claim will be delayed, as VECA will have to contact you to complete it.
So, the details are date of flight, flight number, the total value of the expense claim, your mailing address, the number of days, hours your flight was delayed, as well as the number of passengers for whom the relevant claim is being made.
The last step in your claim is to attach receipts. You will therefore need to provide a receipt for each item you claim to VECA. It is advisable to make sure you attach a digital, scanned or photographed copy of the receipts, using the "Attach documents" option on the website.
How much compensation from VECA am I entitled to for flight delays?
In the event of a delay on your flight with VECA, you have already seen the steps to follow to make a claim. However, the amount will vary depending on the time of arrival at the destination. First of all, it is not the same if you arrive hours late, days late, or if your flight is cancelled with less than 15 days notice.
If you arrive at your destination 3 or more hours later than the scheduled time, you are also entitled to claim financial compensation, except if the delay is due to extraordinary circumstances such as weather conditions. The amount you receive will vary depending on the distance to your destination. Thus, if the journey is up to 1500 km, the amount to be claimed is 250 euros. Between 1501 and 3500 km, the amount to be claimed is 400 euros. If the journey exceeds 3500 km, then the amount to be claimed is 600 euros.
If the flight is delayed for several days, then the airline has to bear several costs. A transfer to a hotel for the respective night(s) must be ensured, as well as finding you the place of descent. Of course, if the cancellation occurs while you are at the airport, provide you with tickets for food, drinks and refreshments.
What should VECA compensate in case of cancellation?
In case of cancellation by the air carrier VECA, a flight has to be made with compensation to the passenger. The only exception is if the cancellation is due to extraordinary circumstances that could not have been avoided (political instability, weather conditions incompatible with the operation of the flight, safety risks, unexpected flight safety shortcomings, airport congestion, air traffic management and strikes affecting the air carrier's operations).
If the air carrier VECA gives the passenger between two weeks and seven days notice of the cancellation of the flight in advance of the scheduled departure time, and if the passenger is offered re-routing that allows him/her to depart no more than two hours before the original departure of the flight, then he/she cannot claim compensation on the grounds of the cancellation. Furthermore, VECA must also ensure that he/she arrives at his/her final destination less than four hours later than the scheduled arrival time of the originally contracted flight.
If VECA is notified to the passenger less than seven days before the scheduled departure time and the passenger is not offered another flight that allows him/her to depart no more than one hour before the original departure time of his/her flight, then the passenger of VECA may claim under similar conditions as for the delay. The criterion will be according to the length of the flight for a higher or lower amount: for flights of less than 1,500 km it will be EUR 250.
For intra-Community flights of more than 1,500 km the amount will rise to 400 euros and for the rest of the trips, between 1,500 and 3,500 km, as well as the rest of the flights not included in the previous points, the amount will rise to 600 euros. Compensation will be paid by bank transfer.
What is the compensation of VECA in case of overbooking?
In the event that VECA is overbooked, then the airline has to pay compensation to the passenger.
VECA may be overbooked. It may happen that, for various reasons, the aircraft cannot operate with all passengers on board. According to the provisions of EC Regulation 261/04, VECA has to look for volunteers who can change the date or time of their flight in exchange for compensation and assistance. If not enough volunteers are found, passengers who cannot fly are entitled to compensation, assistance and reimbursement of the ticket or re-routing.
What are my rights with regard to VECA if I have been denied boarding due to overbooking?
Again, as in the previous cases, in the event of overbooking by VECA airline, compensation will depend on the distance of the flight and the hours of delay in arrival at your destination. Thus, you will be entitled to compensation, which you can request through the VECA customer service.
For flights of less than 1500 km, the amount will be 250 euros. For flights between 1501 and 3500 km, the amount rises to 400 euros. For overbooking on flights over 3500 km, the compensation can be up to 600 euros.
What are my rights if VECA does not let me on the plane due to overbooking?
Again, as in the previous cases, in the event that the VECA airline is overbooked, compensation will depend on the distance of the flight and the hours of delay in arriving at your destination. Thus, you will be entitled to compensation, which you can request through the VECA customer service.
For flights of less than 1500 km, the amount will be 250 euros. For flights between 1501 and 3500 km, the amount rises to 400 euros. For overbooked flights over 3500 km, the compensation can be up to 600 euros.
What do I do at the airport if my bag has not arrived on my VECA flight?
Before leaving the baggage claim area, please proceed to the Lost and Found office. Once at the Lost and Found office, you will be given a Baggage Irregularity Report (BIR) to report the incident, give a description of your baggage and start tracking your bag. VECA will arrange for the baggage to be sent to the customer within 24 hours if it has not arrived at the terminal. Under normal conditions, most luggage is located and delivered within 72 hours.

In addition, remember to have the original documentation at hand, also at the time of delivery of your damaged baggage. Along with the completed PIR, also the damaged bag tag, boarding pass and itinerary and a photocopy of your ID card or passport.
If your baggage has been delayed, you should also bear in mind that delivery may be subject to the country's customs conditions and your presence at the airport may be required by the authorities.
What should I do if I do not receive a reply from VECA about my bags within 24-72 hours?
To be more precise, if within 48 hours you have not received a reply from VECA about the status of your luggage, you should contact the company's call centre. You can find it on their website and they should get back to you.
If you still have not received your luggage within 72 hours, you will have to fill in the relevant form in order to facilitate the search. To do this, you must contact them by post within 21 days from the date of the incident, enclosing certain documentation.
