Vueling Experience: LCG-BCN | IAG "Low" Cost

Tue Mar 28, 2017 8:29 pm

This is the trip-report of my flight from A Coruña (northwest of Spain) to Barcelona (northeast of Spain) with Vueling Airlines (IAG "low" cost airline).

I arrived at A Coruña airport (LCG/LECO) at 6:30, early enough to do the check-in and have some views of this little Galician airport (little, but with a daily route to London-LHR...). My airplane (EC-JYX) was already parked at Gate 3, as Vueling has an airplane based at this airport during all the year.

The worst aspect of the first flights of the day near the sea is that the windows are always with a lot of condensation, so you can't see anything outside. Luckily, as soon as we started the take off run, the windows became normal rapidly.

We took off from runway 03, directly to the north. Our route took us over Asturias, Bilbao (both close to the sea), Zaragoza and then directly to Barcelona, landing at runway 25R. If you've ever landed at runway 25R you should know about the awesome views of the city...

The catering on board is pay-to-eat and with a very poor offer (compared with other low costs), especially in this flight, as they didn't offer any hot food (the flight duration was 1:40h).

Apart from that, the flight was a great experience. The cabin crew was very nice and the ambient on board was good. The space between seats wasn't the best.

I know that in this forum many people prefer the photo-reports to the video-reports, but I would like to ask you to give this one a chance. I'm sure you'll enjoy the 4K video review.
