London > Barcelona

Hi

When I go interrailing this summer my 1st stop is Barcelona.

What website would you recommend me booking a single flight?

Thanks

    Depends on your taste, and your starting point.

    Search on skyscanner to see what airline/flight suits you from a price / schedule / convenience (departure airport) perspective, then book it direct with the airline in question on their site. Pretty simple.

    Nearly all airlines offer competitive one ways on European routes now, so just pick what suits. There are many choices from the London area.

    As above.

    Search for indication of price on Skyscanner.

    Then go direct to airline to price up properly.

    You should be able to get flight with 10kg of hand baggage for less than £40.

    Ryanair, Vueling, Monarch, Easyjet, Iberia, Norweigan are all options.

    If you end up booking Easyjet they often pay a few points if you go via the Nectar site. Iberia might be bookable if you head to Top Cashback > British Airways and earn a couple of quid back.

    When it comes to money overseas, have a read of this. Currently trying to work out what the catch is.

    why do you want a flight if you are interrailing 1st stop Barcelona?
    Or did you mean something completely different?
    The questions that get the best answers are the questions that give most detail....

    The inter-rail pass does not include travel from the point of origin to Europe, particularly if the point of origin is somewhere like China. So it makes sense to arrive in a European attraction before the date when the pass becomes valid and begin the journey from there.

    Given that the first post of this new thread by the OP:

    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5197743

    contains the phrase
    I have already booked my flight to Barcelona from London

    I don't think there is any need for anyone to waste any further energy on this one. I won't be wasting any on that thread either.

    From the looks of it they still need a flight from Barcelona - Naples and Amsterdam - London.

    If you don't want to help then don't, I don't see why you need to be so rude about it!

    Yes.

    And it will be much more expensive.
