Cheap Flights from Riyadh to Barcelona Starting at $224

King Khalid International Airport (RUH) is Riyadh’s main international gateway and typically operates as a full-service hub for Saudi flag carrier and major regional airlines, while budget carriers also serve the airport. Located about 35–40 km north of the city center, journey times by car or taxi can be roughly 30–50 minutes depending on traffic; ride-hailing and airport taxis are common, with fares that can vary widely, while airport shuttles and private transfers provide predictable alternatives. The airport is generally well-equipped with lounges and duty-free shopping but can feel spread out due to its large terminal layout, so allow extra time for transfers. For domestic or shorter-haul travel, Riyadh’s airport usually offers frequent connections, though travelers seeking the cheapest fares may find options on secondary regional carriers.

Barcelona is served primarily by Barcelona–El Prat (BCN), the main international hub that handles long-haul and low-cost carriers, and the smaller Girona–Costa Brava (GRO) and Reus (REU) airports, which typically host budget and charter flights. El Prat sits about 12 km southwest of the city centre and usually offers the fastest connections — Aerobus express buses (≈30–40 minutes, moderate fares), commuter trains (≈25–30 minutes, low fares) and metro links — plus taxis that take roughly 20–30 minutes depending on traffic. Girona and Reus are further out (around 70–100 km) and can be cheaper on low-cost carriers but add coach transfers of 60–90+ minutes. El Prat is generally more convenient and comfortable for business and international travellers, while Girona/Reus can be cost-effective for budget-conscious passengers prepared for longer transfers.
