    If you want to fly from Gatwick, the airport website says only Thomsonfly operates the route, not clear whether as a charter in which case they should be on sale in the next couple of months or as scheduled flights in which case it will be October or possibly later before they appear. To get an idea of costing have a look at Thomson's prices for the same week this year, looks very close to the August Bank Holiday, so the prices may be high

    LGW has a lot of flights to BCN, depends which bit of Spain you want to get to.
    Posts are not advice and must not be relied upon.

    Standard (Scheduled) flights are usually released around 330 days in advance. Not sure about chartered flights
