Barcelona–El Prat (BCN) is Catalonia’s main international gateway and typically serves full-service carriers and many low-cost airlines, making fares range from premium to budget depending on carrier and season. The airport lies about 12 km (roughly 20–30 minutes) southwest of central Barcelona; taxis and ride-hailing can be the fastest option while the Aerobús shuttle takes around 25–35 minutes to Plaça de Catalunya for a modest fare, and suburban train/metro links offer cheaper, slightly longer journeys. Advantages include frequent international connections and modern facilities; drawbacks can be crowds during peak periods and occasional additional charges from low-cost carriers for extras.
Abu Dhabi International Airport (AUH) is the emirate’s main international gateway and typically handles long-haul carriers, full-service Gulf airlines, and a mix of regional and low-cost operators. It sits about 30–35 km east of the city center, with taxi rides usually taking 25–40 minutes depending on traffic; airport express buses and hotel shuttles can be cheaper alternatives with travel times around 40–60 minutes. Fares are often perceived as mid-to-premium relative to nearby budget hubs, especially for direct services. Pros: modern terminals, extensive lounges, and good connectivity for onward flights.
