The Vueling hand luggage allowance permits passengers travelling with Optima, Family or TimeFlex fares to take one piece of luggage onto the plane with them, as well as a small personal item, and duty-free goods for every other type of fare. The larger luggage cannot be greater than 10 kg and must be a maximum size of 55 cm x 40 cm x 20 cm. The small personal item includen on every fare must be no larger than 40 cm x 20 cm x 30 cm, and the duty-free goods can only be in a single bag. If liquids have been purchased at duty-free, they will only be allowed on board if they are still in the sealed security bag provided by the store.
Apart from the duty-free items, there are restrictions when it comes to transporting liquids on board with you. Any liquids, pastes, creams or aerosols must be placed in separate containers not exceeding 100ml, and then in a clear bag of a maximum size of 20 cm x 20 cm. Any liquids exceeding these limits can be packed in your checked luggage but must not enter the cabin with you.
Vueling was founded in late 2002, when Carlos Muñoz and Lázaro Ros decided to study the market and the economic viability of the Vueling project. The first commercial Vueling flight took off in July 2004, on a trip from Barcelona to Ibiza. In July 2009 Vueling merged with Clickair, to offer more routes and better service. Thanks to the merger, Vueling now offers flights to 100+ destinations. Although Vueling is a low cost airline, its corporate image looks to differentiate itself as a "New Generation Airline" offering numerous promotional codes.

If any passenger has Smart luggage, the batteries must be removed and carried with them in the cabin. If you would like to take sports equipment or musical instruments with you on your flight, you can apply to take an extra allowance of Special Luggage. This could include skiing equipment, golf clubs or large instruments such as cellos. To be accepted, the equipment must be wrapped securely with contact details attached, and conform to the maximum weight of 32 kg and maximum height of 2.7m. Any item outside these restrictions should be confirmed with the airline before booking. Please be aware that there are usually special conveyor belts for this type of luggage at airports, as its size and shape often prevent use by the normal baggage conveyor belts. Please ask the airport staff where you will be able to pick these items up from after your flight.
