• What airports serve Barcelona from Johannesburg flights?

  To wing your way to Barcelona from Johannesburg, you will always depart from OR Tambo International Airport (JNB) in Kempton Park on the East Rand. This is Africa’s busiest airport, routinely handling well over 20 million passengers per year. If you’re not being dropped off by a family member, you can get to the airport using the Gautrain from stations in Johannesburg (Park, Rosebank, Sandton, Marlboro, Midrand, Rhodesfield) or Pretoria (Centurion, Pretoria Central, Hatfield). Tourists will most likely catch the train from the stations in the popular tourist areas of Rosebank and Sandton. If you are travelling in a group, it may be cheaper to use an e-hailing service to get to the airport.

• Which airlines fly directly from Johannesburg to Barcelona?

  Unfortunately, there are no direct flights to Barcelona from Johannesburg. An efficient alternative is to travel with a stopover in cities like Doha, Amsterdam, Zurich, Paris or Madrid. There are many options to consider, and you can find connecting flights on this route with airlines such as Qatar Airways, Turkish Airlines, KLM, Emirates, Air France, Lufthansa, and SWISS.

• What are the stopover options between Johannesburg and Barcelona?

  A good routing is usually via the Middle East or other cities in Europe. For example, Qatar Airways offers flights via Hamad International Airport in Doha (DOH), KLM via Schiphol International Airport in Amsterdam (AMS), Air France via Charles de Gaulle International Airport in Paris (CDG), and Air Europa via Doha and Madrid-Barajas International Airport (MAD) in a code sharing option with Qatar Airways. The shortest stopovers are usually an hour, while the longest ones can be up to 15h or more, so this may affect your journey time significantly. If you have a long stopover on your way to El Prat International Airport in Barcelona (BCN) and you are flying via Amsterdam or Paris, since you will already have a Schengen visa, why not take a bus, train or taxi into the city for some sightseeing? Just make sure you are back at your departure gate in time for boarding the next leg of your flight. Remember to factor in traffic, security checks and the walk to the waiting area, as both Schiphol and Charles de Gaulle are big airports.
