What airlines have you all used to travel to Barcelona from the US? Still need to book airfare. Wasn't planning on waiting this long, but life got in the way- Thank you!
Back in 2011, we flew US Airways. Airlines are so different now. Check out the flight apps.What airlines have you all used to travel to Barcelona from the US? Still need to book airfare. Wasn't planning on waiting this long, but life got in the way- Thank you!
Ditto!As someone mentioned on a similar thread, Google Flights can help you with options. We're on American both ways, but connecting in Miami on the way to Barcelona and in Philadelphia on the way back home.
I'm basing this off our experience when we did the Med back in 2018 (our flight back was at 2pm) and I would say that 11:30am is cutting it close. I can't be 100% sure if we had to go through a screening before or after the ticket window to check in our bags, but you will have a line to do the checked bags, a line to get through security, a line if you want to get a reimbursement for the VAT on purchases, and then you still have to go through customs and another security check. Plus, the terminal is huge, if your gate is on the very end of the terminal, expect a 10 to 15 minute walk to get to the gate. Travel time from the port to the airport should be somewhere between 20 to 30 minutes mattering on traffic.Do you think an outgoing flight at 11:30 am out of Barcelona is doable? There are not too many afternoon flights and my husband needs to be back at work the next day, so we cannot have 20+ hour travel time.
