Care and re-routing when leaving Barcelona
Delayed at the gate: meals, refreshments and two calls or e-mails from 2 h of delay on flights up to 1,500 km, 3 h up to 3,500 km (and on every intra-EU flight over 1,500 km), 4 h beyond — plus a hotel and transport when the departure moves to the next day. Owed whatever the cause.
Cancelled or denied boarding: the choice between a refund of the unused ticket within 7 days and re-routing to your destination at the earliest opportunity or on a later date of your choosing, with care while you wait.
Delayed 5 h or more: you may give up the journey and take a full refund of the unused ticket, with a return flight to your departure point if the trip has lost its purpose.
Most departures from Barcelona towards northern Europe cross French airspace, so French ATC restrictions and strikes are the standard defence here. The airline must identify the specific restriction that applied to your flight rather than point at the day in general.

Barcelona-specific issues
Barcelona is Vueling’s home base and a large Ryanair, easyJet and Level station. Delays are frequently attributed to French ATC restrictions (most Barcelona–northern Europe flights overfly France) and to summer capacity limits. Airlines must show that a specific ATC regulation affected your flight; a generic reference is not enough. Rotation delays in the evening are compensable unless the first delay in the chain was extraordinary.
Barcelona–Tel Aviv, Barcelona–Marrakesh and Barcelona–Istanbul exceed 1,500 km and pay €400; Barcelona–Canary Islands flights, although domestic, also exceed 1,500 km and pay €400.
