How is Verling Airllibes?
 
We are considering flying Verlingbetween Barcelona and Flotence. I guess optima seats make sense.
We are pretty tall.
I would prefer Excellent seats but way too expensive.
Have any one had flown Verling ? Any suggestion thank you

I assume you mean Vuelling?

But Vuelling is not the name of any Airllibe I know.

Oops I meant Vuling.

Made me look it up! It's Vueling. Now back to our regularly scheduled issue.

Yes it is Vueling. It is a well known European carrier. While this is the airline board - you'll probably get better/ more response if you post over on the Europe forum. Lots of people on that forum will have flown them and likely know if the extra €€ is worth it . . .

If legroom is the issue, you can book the cheapest fare "Basic" and add XL seats (i.e. exit rows with extra legroom) later for €12 per person.
"Excellent" and "Optima" are not seat types but fare types like "Basic"
Excellent is so expensive as it is fully flexible (and comes with seats in row 1 with no one seated on the center seat and more legroom).
Optima has checked bag included (maybe also some food), and seats are regular seats but also in the front rows and some free re-booking privileges.
Aside from the extra legroom of XL seats, all seats are the same type and have same width.

You'll find comparison charts of perks here:

We flew Vueling from Barcelona to Florence two weeks ago.

We found the regular seats pretty comfortable compared to most coach/economy seats.

My husband and I were assigned to window and aisle, but I gave up aisle seat to sit next to hubby when the middle seat person arrived. Hubby is 6 feet 3 inches.

For that length of flight I would not worry about getting the extra, personally.
