not sure on your return date but can book that outward flight plus a much nicer timed flight on the Fri 19th on Ryanair.com If you pay by debit card then thats total cost inc 10kg hand baggage Why give extra money to eDreams who tbh are shocking

Avoid eDreams plenty of bad reviews for them.

There are lots of flights to BCN, so use skyscanner and LON all London airports code to check all the possibilities.

DO NOT BOOK WITH eDREAMS (read the reviews!!)

Nobody can sell Ryanair flights cheaper than Ryanair
Ryanair do not allow anyone else to sell their flight
if you book through them, they take your details, go to the Ryanair website and book it as if they were you....and charge you for the "service"
If they are showing a price that is lower than the Ryanair site then this is because it is not a live price and they will ask you for more money

Book direct with Ryanair
Make sure you understand ALL the extras that need to be added on to the cost
do you want to take a bag? - you will pay extra for that
do you want to select a seat? - you will pay extra for that

also make sure you check in and take your boarding pass to the airport
£15 to reprint it for you
£70 to check in at the airport

Is this the Barcelona airport that is about 90 minute from Barcelona?

Barcelona–El Prat Airport, simply known as Barcelona Airport, is located 12 km southwest of the centre of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, So another problem is getting to barcelona I suppose!

That's the "real" Barcelona airport, and it's very easy and quite quick to get to the city centre.

Before Ryanair started flying there they used to promote Reus and Girona airports as "Barcelona", even though they are both a considerable distance away.

I agree with the comments about eDreams though - buy direct from Ryanair.

£63.98 on Ryanair's web site.

Book two singles and it £38.99 plus €24.99. I make this about £58 plus any card fees.

On the Tripadvisor Air Travel board there are hundreds of threads about edreams - and none are complimentary.

Yup and costs under 1EUR each! Get a T-10 card for a bit under 10EUR at the airport, gives you 10 trips on the train/metro/buses etc and you can share it.

Ryanair DO allow 3rd parties to sell their flights now btw.
