How to fly with your Brompton on VuelingVerified
Vueling is the dominant carrier for flights to and from Spain, with a massive hub at Barcelona El Prat. The bike is classified as Special Luggage — it cannot form part of your standard checked baggage allowance regardless of fare. The €45 online fee is reasonable. Barcelona El Prat has a dedicated cycle lane from the airport to the city centre. Mallorca, one of the world's premier cycling islands, is one of Vueling's most popular destinations.
