Cardiff to Barcelona

Vueling, the Spanish low fare airline featured in COMMENT, is to expand its footprint in the UK beyond Heathrow, with the launch of a service from Cardiff Airport to Barcelona, on 27 March 2012.  The route will initially operate three days a week and will be flown by Airbus A320 aircraft. 

This is Vueling's first direct service from the UK to Barcelona, the airline’s home base.  Passengers enjoy through baggage check-in to over 40 destinations in Europe and North Africa.  This is particularly helpful for people travelling to or from South Wales who until now have had to use the Severn Crossing to Bristol Airport, or take the M4 to Heathrow.

The new route will appeal largely to those keen to explore the cultural and gastronomic delights of Barcelona or making for Barcelona’s cruise port terminal, Europe’s busiest.

Vueling provides a service that mirrors traditional carrier practices including seat selection, options to book through travel agencies, loyalty points’ schemes, and extensive network and premium services including Duo Seat which guarantees a front row double seat and hand luggage space. www.vueling.com
