There is a bagge holding at the Barcelona Aiport (BCN) for 19 euro per bag per day. I was able to leave during my long layover and explore the city and then come back to the aiport without any trouble. The security at the airport is relaxed but still feels safe.

The Airtrain service is now under construction, so one rail is closed. So it would be better to get to the airport by not using the train...

Your guide to booking New York to Barcelona-El Prat Airport flights

Get tips on when to book, when to fly and what to know before your trip.
  • If your dates are flexible, aim for a Tuesday departure and avoid flying on Friday. On this route, Tuesday flights average $634, about $130 less than Friday fares (17% savings) based on the last 12 months.
  • For the best chance at a low fare, aim to book around 15 weeks before you fly. On this route, that window historically saves about 19% versus last-minute pricing (KAYAK booking data, last 12 months).
  • If you can choose when to travel, plan your New York to Barcelona-El Prat Airport trip for January. Fares historically average $452 round-trip in that month - typically $495 less than the most expensive month, which is June (based on the last 12 months).
  • For the best chance of arriving on time, fly with LEVEL. Over the past three months, 92% of LEVEL flights from New York to Barcelona-El Prat Airport arrived on time, slightly above the route average of 86%. When flights on this route arrive late, they're delayed by an average of 3h 06m, so choosing an airline with strong on-time performance can make a difference if you're on a tight schedule.
  • If you have the time, taking a 1-stop flight through Bogotá El Dorado Airport (BOG) can be cheaper than flying direct. The cheapest layover option averages $333 round-trip on this route - about $384 less than direct flights (based on the last 12 months).
  • Plan for Terminal 1 when you land at Josep Tarradellas Barcelona El-Prat Airport (BCN), Barcelona's main international airport. BCN has two passenger terminals, 1 and 2 and shuttle service runs between them.
  • For an easier trip to JFK, use the AirTrain JFK or the B15, Q10 and Q6 bus lines.
  • Flying out of New York? Consider using a VIP Meet and Greet service if you want extra help at the airport. These services can work well for all types of passengers, from business travelers to families. A dedicated team member can help with transfers, luggage, security and lounge access. That team member can also stay with you through check-in and security, then accompany you to your gate or baggage claim.
  • Traveling through John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) with kids? Stop by JetBlue's play area in Terminal 5 before your flight from New York to Barcelona.
  • If you're a member, unwind in the Delta Club or the Lufthansa Lounge at JFK before your flight from New York. Both offer premium pre-flight amenities and services. The Wingtips Lounge at JFK is permanently closed, so single-visit passes cannot be purchased at the door.
