The airport is only 30 minutes by cab from the cruise terminal and there are usually plenty of cabs waiting. If you self-disembark you should be able to do it so long as their are no delays. My experience was that disembarking in Barcelona was a very painless process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kentlady Posted September 16, 2016 #3 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Please allow plenty of time as we cruised out of Barcelona in July and the airport queues both arriving and departing were absolutely horrendous, it took well over an hour just to reach a check in desk for our flight home.

Goldconnection Posted September 16, 2016 #4 Share Posted September 16, 2016 We had a horrid experience last Deccember trying to get through the Barcelona airport following our cruise. The airport staff was over whelmed as there was two ships descending on the airport. When we arrived at the airport, there were people who had be standing in the only open line for close to an hour. I just you get off the ship as early as possible and sprint to the airport. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchclogs Posted September 16, 2016 #5 Share Posted September 16, 2016 It is very feasible -- we have even made a 0940 flight ex Barcelona from the cruise terminal, self disembarking at 0645 -0700, then taking taxi. (This was intra Europe though) Strongly recommend that you self disembark as soon as you can. If possible, it would also help if you check in whilst on board. Good luck!

jsf Posted September 16, 2016 #6 Share Posted September 16, 2016 We did have a little trouble at Barcelona airport as the staff was not helpful and langauge was a problem also signage was also difficult to understand. I'd try to get to airport as soon as possible and try to find your airline quickly. J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiserchuck Posted September 16, 2016 #7 Share Posted September 16, 2016 We have twice made early flights (about 10:00 am) after doing self disembarking in Barcelona. There was quite a crowd on the ship, and some complaining about people cutting the line. My group walked fast, and we were the first ones into a taxi. There were many taxis lined up. Since we got to the airport before 7:00 am, the lines there were short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapytocruise Posted September 16, 2016 #8 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Take off you own luggage and you should be fine. For self disembark if you get a notice Saying to be lined up by 7 am go there 6:30, you want to be at the front of the line, you will be amazed at the line up Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsjb1 Posted September 19, 2016 #9 Share Posted September 19, 2016 One other thing to consider is if you want to get your VAT back on your purchases, the line at Customs to get your receipts stamped can be quite long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
