It currently operates eight daily flights from London Gatwick, so this addition means 10 available flights a day from London to Barcelona.
As for the new London to Paris flight, London Heathrow to Paris Orly is a brand-new route for Vueling and is not currently operated by any airline.
A spokesperson for the airline noted that this new route is "especially well-timed for the upcoming Paris Olympics, giving fans a great value option to travel to the French capital to watch some of the world’s biggest sports stars in action".
Flights from London Heathrow to Paris Orly will run once a day, every day of the week.
Britons who want to take advantage of the new routes can book now.
The flights will run from April 7, 2024, just in time for a summer of European travel.
Chief Commercial, Customer, Network and Strategy Officer at Vueling Carolyn Prowse commented on the exciting new flight routes.
She said: “We are delighted to relaunch operations from London Heathrow, the UK’s largest airport. These two new routes are in addition to our existing operation from London Gatwick and position Vueling as one of the key airlines connecting these major hubs across Europe.
