VY 6226 (VY6226) is sold by Vueling. On a codeshare another airline may operate the flight, and the operating airline determines which rules apply.

VY6226 leaves Santiago de Compostela in Spain, so EU Regulation 261/2004 (EU261) may apply whichever airline you fly with. As it lands in the UK, UK261 may also apply if the operating airline is a UK or EU airline.

You may get flight delay compensation (3+ hours late) or cancelled flight compensation, unless the cause was extraordinary.

With about 1,108 km between SCQ and LGW (short-haul (up to 1,500 km)), compensation may be €250 (EU261), or £220 if UK261 applies, if you are entitled to it. All amounts

Does EU261 apply to Vueling flight VY 6226?

Yes, EU261 may apply, as VY6226 departs from Spain. UK261 may also apply if the operating airline is a UK or EU airline.

Who operates Vueling flight VY 6226?

In our data, Vueling is the airline selling VY6226. Who actually operates the flight is shown on your ticket or booking confirmation.

Was VY 6226 part of a connecting flight? How is compensation calculated?

Your booking shows this, not the flight number. If VY6226 was part of a connecting journey on one booking, distance is counted from the first departure airport to the final destination, and the delay is counted on arrival at the final destination. The distance band (short-, medium- or long-haul) follows that distance and may then differ from this leg (€250 (EU261), or £220 if UK261 applies).
