Barcelona is served mainly by Josep Tarradellas Barcelona–El Prat (BCN), the city’s international hub handling most long-haul and full-service carriers alongside low-cost airlines. Operated across two main terminals, it’s typically the primary choice for international and business travelers and can be pricier than secondary airports. The airport sits about 12 km southwest of the city center; a taxi usually takes 20–30 minutes, ride-hailing similar, and fares can vary widely. Aerobus shuttle coaches run in about 35 minutes with modest ticket fees, while suburban trains and metro connections take roughly 25–45 minutes at low cost. Pros: comprehensive services and fast international connections; cons: can be busy and queues are possible during peak times. Low-cost and general aviation traffic also uses Girona–Costa Brava (GRO), located roughly 90 km northeast of Barcelona and typically positioned as a budget-focused alternative for tourists. It is commonly served by several low-cost carriers and charter airlines, and fares to/from the airport can appear lower on some routes when factoring carrier pricing. Bus transfers to central Barcelona usually take about 75–90 minutes and have economical ticket prices; shared shuttles and car hire are alternatives. Pros: often cheaper flights and less crowded facilities; cons: longer ground transfers and extra time/cost for onward travel. Reus–Salou Airport (REU) functions mainly as a seasonal, leisure-oriented gateway for the Costa Daurada and is usually used by holidaymakers on budget carriers and charters. Situated around 100 km southwest of Barcelona, it tends to be a secondary option for those focused on the region’s resorts rather than the city center. Coach services to Barcelona can take 90–120 minutes and are generally low-cost, while renting a car is common for onward travel. Pros: quieter and tailored to holiday traffic; cons: considerable travel time to Barcelona and limited year-round connectivity. For private and business aviation, Barcelona occasionally sees movements at smaller fields like Sabadell (QSA), which primarily serves general aviation and flight schools rather than commercial passenger services. Located about 20 km north of central Barcelona, it is usually accessed by road; travel times depend on traffic but can be 30–45 minutes. Pros: convenience for private flights and training operations; cons: not suitable for scheduled commercial travel and limited passenger amenities.
