Barcelona has its own airport (BCN) There are taxis or buses available from airport. Depends on how many are going as taxi maight be a cheap if there are say more than 2. Here's a link to the airport which includes a transport bit and tells you the options and how much they cost. Karen

Does Barcelona have two airports thoe or am I totally wrong?

No only 1. Are you looking at the ryanair site by any chance. They fly to Reus and Girona which are not actually Barcelona and are both about 50 miles away so takes well over an hour to get to Barcelona. There website is very confusing for people who do not know, and although they say Barcelona that is not where they go. thats why now they put Reus or Girona in brackets. Karen

Where can you fly from and I will check things out if you give me dates. Karen

Thats exactly what site I was looking at!

Thank you for that

Flying from Stanstead 7th Oct (early morn if poss) coming back 9th Oct (late as poss) wasnt sure of Ryanair or Easy jet was best

I will just check some sites now. Easyjet I would say are better as they allow you 20kgs luggage free. With ryanair you are only allowed 15kgs and have to pay £5 each way online or £10 at airport. Will get back to you shortly. Karen

Just off out now so dont think im rude if i dont reply for a few hours....I really appreciate this, thanks.

We were in Barcelona last year before our cruise and we got the bus from the airport. It was so easy to use and it is not something I usually do.

where are you staying angela?
We loved Barcelona- what a fabulous place

we are flying to Girona ,but staying in Barcelona

dont mind the hour travelling time as its just myself and hubby
would like to know the best / easiest / cheapest way of doing so !

TIA

Ryanair have scheduled airport-Barcelona central buses which are timed around their flights. this is 20 Euro return, it takes an hour and 20 mins roughly. You should also have a look at clickair for flights.
If there is not much difference in price between easyjet/ryanair i would definitely go with easyjet. flying into Barcelona El Prat (Barcelona's airport) is a much quicker and cheaper commute than flying to one of ryanairs typically "nowehere" airports. also take into mind that each payment page you pass with ryanair they add on more charges (each bag, card payment etc.) until it could cost the same. add it up and include your bus fare from girona airport for you both in comparison to easyjet or clickair or whatever.
For the info on airport transfers that you need, look on the way2stay website on the public tranport section (scroll to the bottom for the aiport info). Way2stay are also reputable for apartments.
Enjoy Barcelona it's great

hi,
not posted for a while
We stayed in the Ramblas area after our cruise this year . I booked the appartment on the internet and it looked ok there. All i can say is try to get as much info on appartments as you can before you make a definite booking as i was tatally deflated by what the place actually looked like. Talk about airbrushed!!!!
Anyway if anyone would like to check that they are not thinking of the same one please pm me ok
