Barcelona is served primarily by Barcelona–El Prat (BCN), the region’s major international gateway and hub for full-service carriers and several low-cost airlines. Located about 12 km southwest of the city centre, El Prat is usually reachable by Aerobus shuttle in roughly 25–35 minutes (fares typically moderate), commuter train or metro in around 25–40 minutes, and taxis which take about 20–30 minutes depending on traffic. The airport offers a broad range of international routes and amenities, making it convenient for business and long-haul travelers; it can be busy at peak times, and connections to some budget carriers may be at secondary terminals with fewer services. For budget-conscious travelers, Girona–Costa Brava (GRO) and Reus (REU) can be options for certain low-cost carriers serving Barcelona’s region. Girona lies about 90 km northeast of Barcelona and Reus around 100 km southwest; transfer times to the city are typically 75–120 minutes by coach or private shuttle, with fares varying by operator and season. These airports can usually offer lower base fares but add onward transfer time and cost, so they’re often chosen for cheaper tickets rather than convenience. Pros include often quieter terminals and straightforward boarding; cons are longer transfers and fewer flight options and services compared with El Prat.

Fly direct from Riga to Barcelona for the quickest, most convenient way to enjoy Spain’s sun and culture without the hassle of connections. While connecting flights can sometimes be cheaper, a non-stop trip saves hours and offers a more comfortable, stress-free journey—perfect for maximizing your time on arrival and getting straight to the beach or city sights.

Riga Airport (RIX) serves as Latvia’s main international gateway and typically functions as a mid-sized regional hub rather than a major long-haul hub. It is commonly used by full-service carriers and a number of low-cost airlines, so fares can be competitive compared with larger Northern European airports. The terminal lies about 10 km (roughly 15–25 minutes) from Riga city center; transport options include frequent city buses and minibuses, taxi or rideshare (about 15–25 minutes, fares vary by provider), and shuttle services that may take a similar time. Pros: compact layout, straightforward transfers and a manageable walking distance between gates. Cons: fewer late-night connections and limited lounge and shopping choice relative to bigger hubs.

The minimum one-way ticket price from Riga to Barcelona is $40 (November 2025), while the maximum is $157 (May 2026). On average, a ticket costs $85–$94.
