FAQs for booking Milan to Barcelona flights

  • Which is the best Milan Airport to depart from on this route?

    Milan Malpensa Airport is the main airport in Milan and offers multiple flight options with a variety of airlines compared to any other Airport in the city. However, it is not the closest airport to the city center, and is also quite busy - which means you are more likely to have to deal with long waiting times when departing from Malpensa. Orio Al Serio International Airport (BGY) offers an alternative if you want to avoid the long queues.

  • Are there any benefits of flying first class for short trips?

    While first class is always ideal for long-haul flights, there are also a few upsides to booking first class for the Milan to Barcelona route. You will get priority boarding and check-in, as well as access to the airline lounge while you wait to board. In addition, there’s extra legroom and the seat adjacent to you will be empty, meaning more privacy and space during your flight.

  • Which airline is most suited for unaccompanied minors?

    Most of the airlines offering multiple flight options for this route do not allow minors to travel alone. Therefore, when booking your ticket, avoid booking with Ryanair, easyJet, and Vueling since they don’t have a service for children flying alone. Singapore Airlines, on the other hand, have an unaccompanied minor service - which is mandatory for children aged between 5 and 12 years. With this service, your child’s safety is guaranteed, since they have a crew member looking out for them during the trip and ensuring that they are handed to an authorized adult upon landing.

The most convenient option would be taking a taxi, as they are available 24/7 and will transport you to any destination in the city center.

The whole flight was coughing and farting all the way. It was impossible to breathe. If people are traveling sick they should either not be allowed to fly or made wear masks

The whole flight was coughing and farting all the way. It was impossible to breathe. If people are traveling sick they should either not be allowed to fly or made wear masks

I will never fly vueling. 1h30 delayed, connexion missed with the crew closing the boarding in front of us. 40 people missed the Barcelona-Orly connexion. hours waiting for rebooking and hotel.. inadmissible

3 hr flight from Barcelona to Gran Canaria. Ŵent according to plan No issues with staff oŕ flight. Many people includiñg us could not get luggage self checķ in termìnals to work. Had to wait in check in line.

The communication about the delay could have been better before and during the flight. Also, this online form could have less bugs. It is almost impossible to type in this window.

Boarding was very poor as the flight was initially delayed. We were told the flight would be at 21:40. We were with our 10 month baby who was sleeping. I received an email from Kayak which said the flight was now due to take off at 21:04. When we checked the screens at Gatwick we were told the gate was closed. The lack of communication was extremely poor and we had to run with our baby and there were many other passengers, including elderly people, also running to the gate. When we got to the gate, the staff had no reasons for the poor communication.

It was a short flight but the seat was very straight. I didn’t need any service, but wifi was not available. In resume, a normal service. Nice, the punctuality. Thanks

Last time bucking this company if I would know I wouldn’t do it, they made me lose my flight

I liked the regular updates and appreciated the automatic online checkin which didn’t work for our Vueling flight so I had to do this myself.

The baggage policy is pathetic. We paid for our carry-on bags online. Said if we don't remove the wheels of our carry-ons it's not considered a carry-on. We all measured our bags according to the website beforehand. We were not refunded for our bags and were obligated to buy it as checked in bags for over $70 online or $90 over the counter. First and last time I travel with this airline.

Because the scale includes two terminals, we almost lost our flights. That data was not referrenced to us. The check-in process was a pain too.

What can you say Ryanair get you there,no frills Not so cheap anymore ..... but what is now days! Would use again as always. Good flight times for us.

3 hours delay, non comunicated until past the time of original boarding, no assistance, witnessed land crew shouting at a passenger

Letting people wait outside for boarding in the rain and almost 0 degrees for a high temperature destination is very customer unfriendly

Late again rude staff at gate bullying passengers made us stand in the cold 3degrees for 40 mins before they let us board

Largas colas para el check-in, por seguridad, sin explicación, el equipaje de mano pequeño tuvo que pasar a bodega,

Enjoyed our flight with Ryanair to Arrecife. Flight boarded pretty much on time, crew were welcoming and very good. Generally good for a frequent low cost flight, Seats could however have been more comfortable.

Toulouse Alicante, excellent. But the 2 next fligth by Air Europa canceled. Bad bad

I wouldn't like to fly with them anymore, I don't like their service, you can hardly take carry-on luggage because they charge you for everything, you can't ask for a glass of water, and the flight attendant tells you that they don't have any, that you have to Paying 3 euros for a bottle of water horrible, I don't recommend it, and they don't have anything low cost, because the plane ticket may not be expensive but what they charge you later for the rest, the flight becomes more expensive, it's the only airline that I don't like it so far, and I traveled a lot.

On time but no water , milk or refreshments of any kind on board. Which is poor, especially with children and elderly on board. Toilets filthy,

Boarding was chaotic, the gate changed 4 times and we took off 1 hour late
