Hello, I booked flights with Vueling airline, and last minute they changed my flight schedule, now I am not sure if I will be able to make it to my connection please help! Here is my connection: 11/27 Granda to Barcelona airport (arrival 3:15pm) 11/27 Barcelona to Paris (depart 4:00pm) For those of you who have been to barcelona airport, would you please let me know how far it is from the luggage storage place to Vueling airline departure gate? If I were to store my luggage in the Barcelona airport, would I be able to make it to my 4:00pm flight? Please help. Thanks!

That could be tough. I have flown out of Barcelona but not on a connecting flight. Do you know if Vueling is flying out of the same terminal as the incoming flight? If not that would make it more time consuming for you. Can you put all of your luggage in a carry on? You may be able to make the connecting flight but there is a possibility that your luggage would not. To give yourself the best chance, remind the staff in Granda at check in that you are on on a very tight schedule and see if they will put you on seat on the front of the plane so you can be one of the first to get off. Keep your carry on luggage in the compartment directly over your seat. Try to get a good map of the Barcelona airport and become familiar with it. Since you are checking bags try to keep some essential items in your carry on to get you by for a couple of days in case the luggage does not make the flight. Not sure if Vueling allows one or two carry ons so you may not have a choice but to check some luggage. Best of luck.

It sounds like you're going into Barcelona, leaving some luggage, and proceeding to London (apparently to come back for it later....sounds nuts, what if your plans change and you never get back to Barcelona?). Anyway, Vueling uses Terminal 1 and that terminal has luggage storage on the upper level of the central hub as I recall the sign. Terminal 1 must have a hundred check-in counters. Given Vueling's reputation for constantly stiring the pot, I don't think you have a prayer.

I am actually flying from Barcelona to Granda on 11/26 and back to Barcelona on 11/27. 11/26 Plan to Leave my luggage in Barcelona airport 11/26 Barcelona to Granda 11/27 Granda back to Barcelona (arrive 3:15pm) - pick up luggage 11/27 Flight leave for Paris (leave at 4:00pm) I didn't have a very good impression of Vueling, they already changed my ticket twice...and I had to cancelled and rebook my Alhambra tickets. It seemed impossible to reach the airline either...
