Flights

Barcelona combines a city break and a beach holiday in one. Admire Gaudí's Sagrada Família and Park Güell, get lost in the narrow lanes of the Gothic Quarter, and graze on tapas at La Boqueria before heading to Barceloneta for a swim. Evenings start late here, so pace yourself.

Flights from the UK take around two hours, with departures from London and a wide range of regional airports. To find cheap flights to Barcelona, try travelling midweek or in spring and autumn, when fares and hotel prices are often lower than in July and August. Book Sagrada Família tickets in advance, as they often sell out.

Flying to Barcelona

Flights land at Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat (BCN). Pick your dates above to compare airlines, times and baggage.

Before you book

Check the airport and terminal

Barcelona–El Prat uses the code BCN and has terminals T1 and T2, connected by a free airport shuttle. Girona–Costa Brava (GRO) is a different airport: a flight described as serving Barcelona may involve a different onward journey. Confirm the airport code and terminal on your itinerary before arranging a transfer.

Allow for the actual connection

A terminal shuttle ride is only part of a connection. Aena explains that the time needed also depends on the airline, route and whether baggage is checked through. If buying separate tickets, check bag collection, check-in and security requirements for the second flight before deciding whether the itinerary suits you.

Compare the fare with your bags

An underseat bag, an overhead cabin bag and checked luggage are different allowances. Check what the selected fare includes for each traveller and each flight, together with the operating airline and change conditions. Oliey searches connected suppliers; an airline listed in our directory is not a guarantee of availability.

Payment and ticket confirmation

Oliey takes the full flight booking payment at checkout. Payment does not mean your tickets have been secured: your flight is confirmed only after our team secures them. Review the total, currency, baggage and fare conditions before paying, and keep your payment receipt and booking confirmation.
