Cheap flights from Belfast to Barcelona

April is the month that comes out cheapest on this route. Summer, school holidays and the Christmas period are when seats and good times go first, while midweek departures are often easier to find than weekend ones; if your dates are flexible, compare a few days on either side rather than one fixed day.

Easyjet, EasyJet Europe and Jet2 are the low-cost names here; British Airways, BA CityFlyer, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Aer Lingus, Emerald Airlines and Qatar Airways are the full-service names. Direct flights are available, but some itineraries connect, so check stops, baggage, seats and flexibility before you book.

You land at Josep Tarradellas Barcelona, which sits outside the city centre, so plan the transfer before you book rather than after you land. Trains, buses and taxis all run into town, and the first hour is usually spent on that connection; if you arrive late, check the last service and keep your hotel address handy.
