  • Which is the best Milan Airport to depart from on this route?

    Milan Malpensa Airport is the main airport in Milan and offers multiple flight options with a variety of airlines compared to any other Airport in the city. However, it is not the closest airport to the city center, and is also quite busy - which means you are more likely to have to deal with long waiting times when departing from Malpensa. Orio Al Serio International Airport (BGY) offers an alternative if you want to avoid the long queues.

  • Are there any benefits of flying first class for short trips?

    While first class is always ideal for long-haul flights, there are also a few upsides to booking first class for the Milan to Barcelona route. You will get priority boarding and check-in, as well as access to the airline lounge while you wait to board. In addition, there’s extra legroom and the seat adjacent to you will be empty, meaning more privacy and space during your flight.

  • Which airline is most suited for unaccompanied minors?

    Most of the airlines offering multiple flight options for this route do not allow minors to travel alone. Therefore, when booking your ticket, avoid booking with Ryanair, easyJet, and Vueling since they don’t have a service for children flying alone. Singapore Airlines, on the other hand, have an unaccompanied minor service - which is mandatory for children aged between 5 and 12 years. With this service, your child’s safety is guaranteed, since they have a crew member looking out for them during the trip and ensuring that they are handed to an authorized adult upon landing.

  • How do I get to Downtown Barcelona from Barcelona-El Prat Airport (BCN)?

    There are a host of transfer options from BCN airport to the city center, so your choice will depend on the level of convenience you’re looking for - as well as your budget. The most convenient option would be taking a taxi, as they are available 24/7 and will transport you to any destination in the city center. However, if you’re looking for the most cost-effective option, the metro or train would be more suited. The only downside is that they are not available after midnight.

Your guide to booking Milan Malpensa Airport to Barcelona-El Prat Airport flights

Get tips on when to book, when to fly and what to know before your trip.
