Cheap Flights from New York to Barcelona — $158

John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) is New York’s main international gateway and a major long‑haul hub for legacy carriers and many global alliances, though it also handles low‑cost and leisure carriers. It’s located about 16 miles (25 km) southeast of Midtown Manhattan; travel time by car is typically 30–60 minutes depending on traffic. Public options include the AirTrain plus subway/Long Island Rail Road (about 45–70 minutes; fares commonly range from a few dollars to around $15–20 one way) and express buses to Manhattan. Pros: extensive international connections and full‑service amenities; cons: can be busy, transfers and traffic may add time and extra cost. LaGuardia Airport (LGA) primarily serves domestic and short‑haul flights and is often perceived as the budget‑oriented, convenience‑focused option for the New York metro area. It sits in Queens roughly 8 miles (13 km) from Midtown Manhattan; driving typically takes 20–40 minutes. Surface transit options include city buses and a forthcoming rail link, while taxis and rideshares are widely used (fares and times vary by traffic). Pros: close to the city and quicker for many domestic trips; cons: fewer international services, more crowding, and historically more limited terminal amenities. Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) functions as a major hub for transcontinental and international flights and is a key base for several legacy carriers, though it also hosts low‑cost operators. Located in New Jersey about 16 miles (25 km) southwest of Midtown Manhattan, travel times by car are commonly 30–60 minutes depending on traffic and border crossings. Rail options include the AirTrain plus New Jersey Transit or Amtrak to Penn Station (roughly 30–50 minutes; fares vary), while taxis and airport shuttles are frequent. Pros: strong airline network and competitive fares; cons: can be out of the way for some Manhattan arrivals and affected by peak‑hour congestion.

Barcelona is served primarily by Barcelona–El Prat (BCN), the city’s main international hub handling long-haul, European network and many full-service carriers alongside a strong presence of low-cost airlines. Located about 12 km southwest of Plaça de Catalunya, El Prat is typically reached by Aerobús or train in roughly 25–35 minutes (fares generally in a modest range), while taxis and ride-hailing can take 20–30 minutes depending on traffic. A smaller airport, Girona–Costa Brava (GRO), lies further away and often caters to budget carriers and seasonal charters, making transfers longer but sometimes cheaper overall. Pros: good flight choice and regular fast links to the center; cons: peak-time crowds and possible extra time for transfers from secondary airports.
