Flights to Barcelona

With its distinct Catalan culture, unique customs and even its own language, Barcelona is a place that does things differently. It’s also one of the few European destinations that can deliver a thrilling city break and seaside escape all in one. Three miles of sandy beaches mean it’s entirely possible to embark on some world-class sightseeing in the morning, then soak up the year-round Mediterranean sunshine in the afternoon.

Barcelona flight FAQs

A flight from London to Barcelona takes approximately two hours.

We fly to Barcelona-El Prat Airport from London Heathrow and London Gatwick.

You can find great deals on flights to Barcelona all year round, but the best time to pick up a bargain is outside of summer. Visit Barcelona in spring between March and May when the mild Mediterranean weather is perfect for sightseeing and experiencing the city’s festivals. Travel in autumn and you’ll still enjoy temperatures around 28°C, making it an ideal time to head to the beach and visit top attractions.

Barcelona is a city that caters to every budget, but there are plenty of options if you’re looking to save some euros. The first Sunday of every month is a great time to enjoy some cut-price culture, when museums including the Picasso Museum and the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya open their doors for free. Consider accommodation outside the city centre and instead look at cheaper neighbourhoods such as Gràcia or Sant Antoni. There’s no shortage of parks to enjoy a wallet-friendly picnic in too.

Barcelona is a city that is easily walkable, but it also has one of the best public transport systems in Europe. If you want to pack in all the main sights then the Metro is the quickest way to get around and covers the whole city, including the suburbs. If you want to head out of Barcelona on a day trip, or visit the beaches further afield, the Rodalies and FGC train networks are great options. The Rodalies is the fastest way to travel to and from the airport too. 

You can also hire a car with British Airways if you want to get out of Barcelona and see more of what the surrounding area has to offer. You’ll receive great benefits, with all mandatory charges included and 24-hour customer support, plus you’ll collect Avios points on every rental. 

Spain’s second city is a great base to explore more of Catalonia. Take a day trip to visit the beautiful beaches of Sitges or travel to Montserrat, a mountaintop monastery 40km north of Barcelona with social media-ready views.  

If you’re on a family break, enjoy a day out at the thrilling PortAventura theme park, a short drive down the Catalan coast. 

When you return to Barcelona, ride the funicular to Montjuic, the majestic hillside that overlooks the city and its coastline. If you time it right, you’ll be able to watch the sun setting over the Mediterranean.

Citizens of the UK and Ireland and EU passport holders do not need a visa to visit Spain. If you hold a passport from a country or territory outside of these areas, you may need to apply for a visa before you travel. You can find out more about visa requirements for all the countries we fly to at the IATA Travel Centre.

You can book a hand baggage-only ticket or make the most of our generous baggage allowance. If you choose economy standard or one of our British Airways Holidays’ packages, each passenger can check in a bag weighing up to 23kg – in addition to a handbag, laptop case or other small bag. Families travelling in any cabin with younger children can also check in one car seat and one fully collapsible pushchair. Read more about baggage allowances for children.

If you’re flying in our business cabin, you can check in two bags weighing up to 32kg each. Read our baggage guide for full details.

Discover outstanding service from the moment you book. Fly with just hand baggage and you can carry two bags in the cabin free of charge. Or, pick a price that includes a 23kg checked baggage allowance and free seat selection 24 hours before you fly. Onboard you’ll find HEPA-filtered air, quality on-board catering and a warm, uniquely British welcome.

Simply relax and let us take care of you, every step of the way.
