vueling in front of lawyers

Hello,

I am really annoyed by Vueling. They lost my luggage and they are still not willing to give me compensation so I would like to take this up to an attorney. I heard about the No Win No Fee program, does anybody this for this issue? Or can I take this higher?

Becareful: there are some threads on here that suggest refund.me are hard to get money from, even if they get it from the airline.

Guys, all the links you gave me are for delayed flight. As I said, it is for a luggage issue...

If this was an international flight you are entitled to compensation under the Montreal Convention.

It was an European flight and I know the company should follow the convention but how do I make them doing it?

Please post the details. What was the ticketed itinerary, to/from/connections> One ticket, multiple tickets? When did all of this occur?

To answer this I need to know the following, viz—

Which country do you live in?
Where did you buy the ticket?
What was the origin and destination of the flight?
When was your flight?
Do you have a Property Irregularity Report? (This is a printed document you would have received this at the airport before you left the baggage claim area, containing your baggage reference.)

I'm not sure why people think that the Montreal Convention helps passengers. All it does, in this case, is limit the maximum compensation to roughly US$1,600 or its equivalent in other key currencies. Thus, all downsides for the passenger. Lose a bag worth $100 and you get $100. Lose a bag worth $1,600 and you get $1,600. Lose a bag worth $3,000 and you get $1,600.

Luggage over that quantum of value should be declared anyway, for everyone's benefit. I don't see the problem in the limitation.

The main advantage is the flat, (near) universal application of simple principles; the strict liability of the operating carrier after 21 days, the fact action can be taken against a sales office in one's own country, where one is familiar with the law, and the fact that it prevents airlines in less scrupulous jurisdictions contracting out their obligations or relying on some local quirk of law to evade them.

I agree it's not perfect but it's certainly better than a mismash of different policies.

This is a rather strange statement. Whatever one thinks of the Montreal Convention, and whether one regards it as a good thing or a bad thing, the fact remains that it is the instrument that defines the liability of carriers in most international journeys by air. It is not as if one can ignore it if one does like it. It constitutes the applicable law and, to that extent, Calchas is correct to state that entitlement to compensation is as per the Convention.
