Vueling flights from the UK

Vueling is operating more flights from Uk airports this summer.
Most are to Barcelona. Other destinations from Gatwick Heathrow and Luton. Just a heads up that these flights also appear on BA.com but with a checked bag included in the fare and are priced in GBP.
On Vueling.com they are priced in Euros, so if you are planning on flying Vueling with a checked bag it could be worth doing a comparison between both websites, especially if the euro strengthens more against the pound.

I've tried searching for flights from Cardiff, via BA's site. No sign of any, though the flights are there via Vueling. Any idea why?
https://www.cardiff-airport.com/news/2014/06/19/flights-from-cardiff-to-spain-now-bookable-on-britishairways-com/ Suggests you can too.

that article was from June 2014 though so it is looks like that this is no longer the case. You would be able to book with Vuelng direct

I have flown Vueling twice now. The seat pitch seems to be less than any other airline I have flown.

Thanks. I know the article was from a couple of years ago, but given the original post, I thought it likely to still be accurate. I've flown with Vueling previously, but given the point of the thread was that it might be cheaper to book with BA, given the Euro exchange rate, I was surprised that this wasn't possible. Thanks again.

Vueling often comes up as an option via BA.com.

But not every Vueling flight.

Vueling have been having a difficult summer with flights from their Barcelona base, many have been delayed and cancelled, including the flight I was on in June, it seems the summer schedule has just over stretched them.
So my guess is BA pulled these infrequent BCN-CWL Vueling flights from their website to avoid having any involvement with passengers in the event of delays and cancellations.
