About Vueling
Vueling is a Spanish low-cost airline whose main base is Barcelona El Prat. It carries a lot of domestic traffic within Spain, including the Balearic and Canary Islands, and flies to cities across Europe and to parts of North Africa. The airline is owned by International Airlines Group (IAG), which makes it a sister company of Iberia and British Airways, but it is not a member of oneworld or any other alliance. Flights have one economy cabin, and what is included depends on the fare type you pick.
Vueling can be searched on IATA.co like any other carrier. Enter the route in the booking portal, or request it through the flights API, and you get live results. Vueling fares appear in your search results whenever our flight suppliers offer them for your route and dates. Bookings are paid from your prepaid balance. Look at the fare rules before confirming, since bags and seat selection are often sold separately.
Vueling airline codes explained
Vueling uses the two-letter IATA airline code VY and the three-letter ICAO code VLG. The IATA code VY is the one shown on tickets, fare displays and booking screens, while the ICAO code VLG is used in air traffic control and flight planning.
Vueling is a low-cost carrier, based in Spain, operating mainly from Barcelona (BCN). It is not part of a global airline alliance.
Booking Vueling fares as a travel agent
Travel agents book Vueling fares on IATA.co without their own IATA accreditation. Activate an agency account, top up a prepaid balance, then search live VY fares in the booking portal: the price, baggage and fare rules are shown with each offer before you confirm, and the amount is deducted from your balance. Vueling results appear whenever our flight suppliers return them for your route and dates, so what you can book follows live supplier content rather than a direct airline deal.
Search Vueling (VY) through the flights API
Developers and agencies can run the same Vueling search from their own site, app or back office through the IATA.co flights API. Filter a search by the carrier code VY and read the fares back as JSON, then book from the same prepaid balance. See the flights API and the API docs for the full reference.
