Rare little britain Posted May 28, 2022 #1 Share Posted May 28, 2022 With the global employee shortage there are long queues at airports ( have personally experienced this at LGW and CPH) to get through security of over an hour. Is Barcelona suffering the same delays Will be flying from C which is the smaller terminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare little britain Posted May 29, 2022 Author #2 Share Posted May 29, 2022 (edited) I’ll answer my own question!! Off ship at 8:30 In cab 8:40 - €39 set fare to airport. At Airport 9:05 Easyjet had only 4 checkin desks open so a short line to drop off luggage. Security was a breeze. Sitting in departure lounge after leisurely stroll via duty free before 10:00 Edited May 29, 2022 by little britain 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reina del Mar Posted June 8, 2022 #3 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Absolutely horrendous queues (1.5-2 hr) to get through passport control when arriving from UK into Barcelona…obviously due to the UK passports rather than European passports. Almost lost our pre booked mini bus as he had waited almost an hour and a half after our booked time. First couple from party were eventually allowed through European passports due to being unable to stand any longer and were able to catch minibus driver and persuade him to wait longer until others came through. On return much easier although still needed an extra layer of Passport control as we hold UK passports. We had booked a Day Use hotel and wandered Las Ramblas as flight was early evening. There was a change of carrier from BA to Iberia (Code share) and then technical issues which resulted in a two hour delay. However, we realise this was nothing compared with the problems faced by many other travellers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elaine5 Posted June 11, 2022 #4 Share Posted June 11, 2022 departing at noon on flight to USA form BCN. Is 9am sufficient? We could maybe do carry on luggage if that makes a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
