Barcelona Flights

A location that is bursting at the seams, Barcelona is a city that fills the soul with romance, excitement, and wonder. Constantly busy yet laid-back, rustic yet cosmopolitan, the sheer variety of this destination is sure to keep you just as active and lively as the remarkable locals. Tourists from around the world can be found bathing in the waters of the Barceloneta beach or dancing the night away at the Soul Club, ambling through the Gothic Quarter or taking part in the Festes de Gràcia. Because tourists throng this destination year round, it is important to book ahead to get the best deals on flights to Barcelona.

Best time to travel to Barcelona

Peak Season:

Though many other destinations are packed during peak season, Barcelona is actually pretty quiet. Visitors still fill the streets from July to August, but most of the locals have gone on holiday. If you like to socialise with your fellow tourist, this is a great time to chat over coffee at the Plaça dels Àngels, or take the whole family to the CosmoCaixa science museum.

Shoulder Season:

The climate from September to December, and April to June is usually pleasant and mild. Despite this, tourists are few, which makes it easy to explore the city without having to deal with large crowds. Another perk is that you will be able to mingle with the friendly, vivacious citizens at such events as the Festival de Sonar in June, and the Festes de la Mercè in September.

Off Season:

Flights to Barcelona are at their cheapest from January to March. Although tourists are rare during this period, it is still a great time to go, as the warm, placid weather makes it an excellent time to take a relaxing walk through La Rambla, or see a flamenco show in Sants-Montjuïc.

Do you have any tips for my flight to Barcelona?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Barcelona could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be a pleasure if you take the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Barcelona?
The simple answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Barcelona, here you come:

  • Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
  • Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
