Here are a few observations about my recent Vueling experience. No surprises really:

  • No lounge access (well not until you've had a protracted conversation with them)
  • No checking baggage through to your final destination (maybe I caught them on a bad day? I gave up in the end - despite showing the check in agent a printout of my itinerary and my BAEC MMB page, they still tried to convince me that I was only flying to Barcelona and not continuing to Heathrow). "No possible..."!
  • No priority boarding
  • No TPs or Avios (unless you enter your Iberia Plus number - and then still no TPs, obviously)
  • No food or drink (unless you pay for it - but you knew that already)

"We're a low cost airline", "what did you expect?" Well, I booked Iberia, not a low cost airline and my tickets were not exactly 'low cost'...

On a positive note, greeted by name as I boarded and priority luggage worked well (appeared first on the carousel) at BCN.

In the post I was responding to, the OP had complained about the difficulty of OLCI and seat selection.
