There are four main airlines that can get you from the UK to Barcelona, Easyjet, Vueling airlines, Jet2, Thomson Airways, British Airways and Ryanair. Ryanair and Easyjet are normally the cheapest airlines to purchase your flight tickets from, although depending on the time of year you travel, you might end up paying a premium for your baggage with them.
It normally takes around 20 – 30 minutes to travel from the airport to the city centre, regardless of what transport option you decide on. One of the most common ways is to catch a RENFE train from the airport to Estacio De Sants. If you purchased a T10 ticket at the airport you can change here and jump onto the metro at no extra cost to get to your final destination. If you arrive at terminal 1 then you can get a free shuttle bus to the station to catch the RENFE train. There is also the TMB airport bus (number 46). This normally takes a little longer as it makes a few stops but you can use your T10 ticket to get on and off easily. You can also arrange in advance a minibus or a driver to collect you from the airport.
Barcelona has seen a 376% increase in demand for flights to the city compared to last year.
