Before boarding your flight, you must check in. Vueling advises online registration. Free of charge, this procedure allows you to confirm your seat (free random placement, or choice of seat with an additional fee) and to obtain your boarding pass (to print and /or download on your mobile) that you must present on the day of your trip in order to board. At Vueling, check-in is available between 7 days and 4 hours before the flight. At the airport, you will save time since you will only have to present yourself at security checks and then at boarding if you do not have checked baggage, or at the baggage drop-off if you have any. Barcelona, Rome-Fiumicino and Paris-Orly airports have a “baggage drop” counter where you can drop off your luggage if you have already checked in online. However, check on the website of your departure airport that online check-in is accepted. Otherwise, you can always check in free of charge at the Vueling counter at the airport.

Be aware that you can change the date or time of your flight up to 1 hour before takeoff. If this option is free with the Excellence rate, it is paid for the Basic and Optima rates. It will cost you 50 euros per passenger per way, to which it will be necessary to add the possible difference in fare.
