Barcelona is primarily served by Josep Tarradellas Barcelona–El Prat (BCN), the city’s international hub handling most long-haul and European carriers, alongside a smaller airport profile at Girona–Costa Brava (GRO) and Reus (REU) that typically cater to low-cost and seasonal charter flights. El Prat sits about 12 km southwest of the city centre, reachable by Aerobus or regular buses in roughly 25–35 minutes (fares usually moderate), the R2 suburban train in around 25 minutes at a lower cost, or taxis which take 20–30 minutes depending on traffic and can be pricier. Girona is farther—around 90 km—and can be a budget-friendly option but involves longer bus transfers of about 75–90 minutes, while Reus is about 100 km and mainly serves holiday routes. Pros: El Prat offers frequent international connections and solid ground links; cons: peripheral secondary airports can save money but add transfer time and inconvenience.
