Five strategies for booking cheap flights to Barcelona.
1) Book your flight with a "no-frills" budget airline We've listed many the budget airlines flying from the UK below. Some of these also fly from European cities to Barcelona but you'll have to check which because their schedules are always changing.
"Since the success of EasyJet many other airlines decided to get on board offering a "no-frills" flight service"
To reduce overheads and keep ticket prices low, these airlines only offer bookings through their on-line web sites or by a telephone reservation system. This means you won't be able to book these flights through a travel agency or 3rd party company like expedia or travelocity.
It's important to check their terms and conditions before you book as most of these airlines will not refund your ticket if you change your plans.
2) Book well in advance.
You're most likely to get a low-cost ticket if you book at least a few months in advance of your trip. The Budget airline seats fill up quickly and as they do prices go up.
3) Make mid-week bookings
Bookings made for Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays are often the cheapest tickets.
4) Take a late night or early morning flight
These flights are always more economical.
5) Consider a different airport
If you can't find any cheap flights to Barcelona International Airport consider flying to Girona Airport instead (for details see RyanAir below). Girona is only 1 hour 20 mins north of Barcelona by train.

Girona is a beautiful quiet city and well worth visiting for a day before heading down to Barcelona.
Girona is an excellent place to stay if you plan to visit the Dalí museum in Figueres. Figueres is only 20 mins on the train from Girona. Apart from the Dalí museum there's not much else to see or do in Figueres.
RyanAir are probably offering the cheapest flights available on the web.
However do remember to allow for flight taxes.
Vueling
A new Catalan airline. I flew with them to Paris and I have to say I was really impressed. So much so I've booked another flight with them to Mallorca - and at only 60.00 Euros round trip including taxes - impressive! The other great thing is the airline staff were very friendly and courteous, the interior of the plane was immaculately clean and it was a general pleasure to fly with them. They have limited routes to Europe at the moment - the main ones being Paris and Brussels, but I'm sure the numbers of destinations will increase. The other big advantage of this airline is they offer really cheap flights to cities within Spain. You can even select the seat you want when making your booking. Watch this space I think Vueling is going to do very well!
