Barcelona
Flights - Internally within Spain
At the end of
this page we've included 3 companies that offer cheap flights from
Barcelona to other cities within Spain.
Five strategies
for booking cheap flights to Barcelona.
1) Book
your flight with a "no-frills" budget airline We've listed
all 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.

- Cheap flights to Barcelona
EasyJet is the leader in offering no-frills cheap flights to Barcelona
and other European destinations. Not only do they offer the widest
destinations but they also offer the greatest flexibility when you're
booking your ticket.
EasyJet has recently added a new service to their on-line site that enables
you to reschedule your flight should you need to. There's a small
charge for this service but it certainly makes booking our cheap
flights a lot more flexible!

if you want to cancel your ticket - but they do have a rescheduling
system.

Scotland.

RyanAir
RyanAir do not fly directly to Barcelona International airport but
they do fly to Girona Airport which is only 1 hr 20 mins north of
Barcelona by train. Click
here for train timetables from Girona to Barcelona
Select Barcelona from the 1st drop down box and then Girona from
the second drop down box.
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 and
if you can't find availability with the other budget airlines they're
worth considering.
However do remember
to allow for flight taxes, and an extra cost for transfer from the
more remote airports like Reus and Girona. You will also have to
figure in the extra time necessary for the journey... at the end
of the day make sure that you really are saving.
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 Euros round trip including taxes
- impressive!!. The other great thing is the Airline staff where
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!
