Step by Step

How to book your Double Bass on Vueling

  1. Contact Vueling Customer Service (+34 931 518 158) at least 48 hours before departure.
  2. Provide dimensions and weight of the double bass in its flight case.
  3. Await approval — with the A320 fleet, transport is not always possible.
  4. Hand over at the special baggage counter at the airport.

Practical Tips

Good to Know

Vueling operates an all-A320-family fleet — hold space is limited. Consider alternative transport methods. For regular trips, a network airline with wide-body aircraft may be more practical.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is transport available on all Vueling routes?
Not guaranteed. Vueling only flies A320 family aircraft, whose holds may be too small for a double bass.
Are there cheaper alternatives?
Specialist instrument couriers or a network airline with wide-body aircraft may be more practical.
