Anyhow, if you dummy book Vueling directly, you'll see that their options are Fly Light, Fly and Fly Grande.

When you choose Fly - which is most similar to Confort - you must choose between paying for the carry-on or the checked bag. Although not definitive, that would lead me to assume that IB Confort doesn't automatically come with both.

If what you actually want is a carry-on, the best choice is usually to book VY Light and then pay to select a seat up front that comes with the overhead bin bag as well. I don't necessarily want this trick to go viral or anything, but it's far cheaper than other alternatives, plus you get the better seat with actual legroom.
Yes, I was trying to figure out what IB ticket maps to Fly Grande. Comfort indicates checked bag and cabin bag on the first page but all that "only oneworld" and "depends on operating carrier" stuff appears when you click through. Its all not very clear, so I think I'll just book Fly Grande on VY code to save myself the brain damage.
