The overbooking is legal, but you can be granted up to € 600.

Vueling aims to avoid empty seats due to no-shows, and this must be legally sanctioned.

When the Vueling passenger has received a flight ticket or any document stating the payment has been accepted and registered, it is a “confirmed reservation”. Boarding denials happen when a passenger presents to the gate but Vueling refuses them access to the plane.
