For all Scottish people looking to fly to Barcelona for a holiday to stay in great Barcelona apartments then transport is relatively simple. As Scotland is such a small country, there aren't many flights between Barcelona and Scotland, however there really is no need for many. It is only really during the summer months, usually between Friday and Monday, when the flights are full so getting a seat is never a problem to reaching your Barcelona apartments.
For low cost airlines there are basically 2 companies which fly between Scotland and Barcelona, the first is Flyglobespan which is a Scottish company and second is the well known Ryanair.
Flyglobespan
Flyglobespan fly directly to El Prat International Airport of Barcelona which is only 20 minutes bus journey from the city.
They fly from 3 airports: from Glasgow (Daily) 9-12.40 and return 13.30-15.45 except from November during the winter season when they alternate return flights from the usual 13.30-15.45 to 20.30-22.30 every other day.
Edinburgh is the second largest airport and has daily flights which mirror the Glasgow flight times. Outward 9.00-12.40 and return, 13.30-15.15. However from November the flights are reduced between Thursday and Monday over the weekend and flight times change on the outward flight to 16.00-19.40
Aberdeen Sun 7.00am-10.55 or Thur 17.00- 21.00
Ryanair
Ryanair fly from Glasgow Prestwick which is on the Southwest coast of Scotland and go to secondary airports Reus which is in Tarragona and Girona. These are both roughly 1 hour 20 minutes from the city of Barcelona. During the winter there are no flights between Glasgow and Reus but the daily flight to Girona flies 14.00-17.35 and returns 18.00-19.45.
Flights may seem cheaper with Ryanair however you must add an extra £17 return bus ticket from the airport to the city onto your flight price as oppose to £5.50 from the main airport.
