Private jet charter to Barcelona

Barcelona takes under two hours from the London airfields and rewards the trip in a way few European cities manage: a working Mediterranean port, a congress calendar that fills the city several times a year, and a coastline that starts twenty minutes from the runway. This page covers the flying and the ground at both ends. Our customers have access to 6500 jets of all types and configurations available for rent. We will help you choose the best option based on your needs and objectives. Our catalog contains the models from the largest manufacturers: Gulfstream, Dassault, Embraer, Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier, Learjet, Cessna, Beechcraft, Pilatus, HondaJet, etc. For 15 years of successful work, we have established partnerships with the world’s largest airlines and VIP terminals, which means we can offer you the most favorable flight conditions and a high level of service. Our experts will manage the organization of your flight - starting with paperwork, agreements, etc., and ending with a transfer and meeting at the airport. Our company provides a full range of business aviation and concierge services. The aircraft we quote for Barcelona sit at the London fields, in the North and around the western Mediterranean, and in summer a good number are already working the Spanish coast.

 

private jet charter

 

At your request, the aviation consultants of Private Jets UK will help you choose the jet with the suitable technical parameters (production year, flight hours, and home base). The cost of the private jet charter to Barcelona depends on many factors, such as the model of the business jet, the number of passengers, departure and destination airports, type of flight, duration of parking, additional services, etc. Therefore, we calculate the price of each order individually taking into account your wishes. You can use an online calculator to get an instant charter quote. Please indicate your real contact details to get the final calculation.

You can calculate the cost of your flight in several ways:

  • using an online calculator on the website (however, it shows only the approximate price);
  • via Messenger (WhatsApp or Telegram);
  • by landline or cell phone;
  • via e-mail (jets@private-jets.co.uk).

 

 

 

Every price on this page is indicative and put together the way a real quote is: a named aircraft on a named sector, the passenger count shown. The tables below give current levels, and a personal calculation takes our consultant about 20 minutes through any form here.

 

How long does it take to fly to Barcelona?

An hour and fifty-three minutes from Luton over a sector of 643 nautical miles, and about an hour and forty from Farnborough or Biggin Hill on a faster cabin. From Birmingham allow the same as Luton, from Manchester two hours, and from Edinburgh two and a quarter. El Prat sits fifteen kilometres from the centre, twenty to twenty-five minutes by road outside the rush.

 

These are the sectors we fly most often into Barcelona. Times include the climb and the descent, and assume the direct routing down the western side of France and across the Pyrenees:

1 route

  • London Luton - Barcelona, by private jet Citation CJ3+
  • Aircraft range: 2040 nm, 3778 km | 416 kts, 770 kmh
  • Route: LTN | EGGW ⟶ BCN | LEBL
  • Distance: 643 nm / 1,191 km
  • Flight time: 1:53 h

 

2 route

  • London Farnborough - Barcelona, by private jet Phenom 300
  • Aircraft range: 2010 nm, 3723 km | 453 kts, 839 kmh
  • Route: FAB | EGLF ⟶ BCN | LEBL
  • Distance: 611 nm / 1,131 km
  • Flight time: 1:41 h

 

3 route

  • Birmingham - Barcelona, by private jet Citation XLS+
  • Aircraft range: 2100 nm, 3889 km | 441 kts, 817 kmh
  • Route: BHX | EGBB ⟶ BCN | LEBL
  • Distance: 688 nm / 1,274 km
  • Flight time: 1:53 h

  • Aircraft range: 2100 nm, 3889 km | 441 kts, 817 kmh
  • Route: MAN | EGCC ⟶ BCN | LEBL
  • Distance: 745 nm / 1,380 km
  • Flight time: 2:01 h

 

5 route

  • Edinburgh - Barcelona, by private jet Citation XLS+
  • Aircraft range: 2100 nm, 3889 km | 441 kts, 817 kmh
  • Route: EDI | EGPH ⟶ BCN | LEBL
  • Distance: 905 nm / 1,677 km
  • Flight time: 2:23 h

 

The exact flight time depends on the model of the business jet, as well as the speed of the tail or head wind. Our consultant will make a detailed calculation of the flight time for the chosen business jet.

Prices for the private jet flights to Barcelona

Below are the approximate prices for recent flights from across the UK, sorted from the lowest price. Under two hours from the London airfields keeps this in the light and midsize classes, and nothing on this route needs a heavy cabin for range. Where a larger aircraft appears in the table it is there for the seats:

Route Aircraft Passengers Price, one way
Jersey - Barcelona
508 nm / 941 km
Cessna Citation M2 6 from 4,300 GBP
Southampton - Barcelona
597 nm / 1,105 km

Newcastle - Barcelona

Two things that move the price on this route

– Congress week. The Mobile World Congress at the end of February fills the aircraft, the slots and the hotel rooms across the whole city at once, and it is the single hardest week of the year to book here. Three to six weeks of notice is the minimum, and quotes in that window run above the figures in the table;

– Parking rather than runway. El Prat handles nearly sixty million scheduled passengers a year and its general aviation stands are finite, so in high season the constraint is where the aircraft waits rather than whether it can land. Ask us early, and if your dates move, check the empty legs first.

We can arrange flights from any city in the UK. If you have any questions about the departure or the flight itself, please use the form below:

  • Turboprops - from 1400 GBP per flight hour;
  • Small jet - from 1800 to 2500 GBP per flight hour;
  • Light jet - from 2300 to 3200 GBP per flight hour;
  • Medium-sized jet (identical to Cessna Citation XLS+, Hawker 800XP, etc.) - from 2900 to 3700 GBP per flight hour;
  • Large medium-class jet (similar to Challenger 300, etc.) - from 4500 to 5000 GBP per flight hour;
  • Large jet (similar to Legacy 600) - from 4900 to 5700 GBP per flight hour;
  • Long-haul jet (similar to Global 5000, Gulfstream G550, Falcon 7X, etc.) - from 6500 to 8500 GBP per flight hour;
  • Business liners - from 10000 GBP per flight hour.

Private jets are ready to take off

Our database holds over 6500 business jets. On a sector of under two hours the classes below cover everything this route asks for, and the choice comes down to the size of the party and what is travelling with it:

Turboprops

Rarely the answer from Britain, where the sector runs past six hundred miles and a propeller adds an hour. They come into their own on the Balearic hops once you are in Spain.

Pilatus PC-12 NGX · 8 seatsfrom £1,500/h
Beechcraft King Air 350 · 9 seatsfrom £1,700/h

Light jets

The class that does most of this route. A Phenom 300 or a CJ3+ crosses from the London fields in under two hours with everyone and their luggage, and for a family or a party of four to six it is what we quote first.

Cessna Citation M2 · 7 seatsfrom £2,100/h
Embraer Phenom 300 · 6 seatsfrom £2,400/h
Cessna Citation CJ3+ · 8 seatsfrom £2,600/h

Super-midsize

The default from the Midlands and the North, and the choice from anywhere when eight travel together. Congress delegations tend to land here: enough cabin to work in and enough hold for stand materials.

Cessna Citation XLS+ · 9 seatsfrom £2,900/h
Embraer Praetor 600 · 9 seatsfrom £4,200/h
Bombardier Challenger 350 · 9 seatsfrom £4,600/h

Heavy jets

Booked for the seats rather than the distance: a dozen people travelling as one party, or two families sharing an aircraft down to the coast for a week.

Bombardier Challenger 605 · 12 seatsfrom £4,900/h
Embraer Legacy 650 · 13 seatsfrom £5,300/h
Dassault Falcon 2000LXS · 10 seatsfrom £5,500/h

Ultra-long range

Seen at El Prat on transatlantic legs during congress week and around the Grand Prix, when owners arrive directly from North America, rather than on anything starting in Britain.

Bombardier Global 5000 · 13 seatsfrom £6,900/h
Gulfstream G550 · 16 seatsfrom £7,000/h
Bombardier Global 6000 · 13 seatsfrom £7,200/h

  • Preparation and coordination of optimal options

  • Registration of documents. Payment of the invoice.

  • Departure on the route.

 

Business aviation airports in Barcelona

El Prat is where a flight from Britain lands, and for a British departure it is effectively the only option. The reason is simple and worth stating plainly: Sabadell, the general aviation field north of the city that appears in most listings, has no customs facility. It works beautifully for anyone arriving from within the Schengen area and not at all for a flight out of the United Kingdom.

Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat (BCN / LEBL)
general aviation terminal open around the clock, customs and immigration on site 24 hours
15 km to the centre
Handling
ExecuJet, Gestair, Universal Aviation, Signature and AviaVIP
five FBOs in the GAT
Slots
arranged by your handler, usually confirmed within the hour
required for every movement
Sabadell (QSA / LELL)
no customs, so Schengen arrivals only; light aircraft, and closed between 22:00 and 08:00
20 km north

The one thing to settle early

Parking, not the runway. El Prat handles close to sixty million scheduled passengers a year and the general aviation stands are a fixed number. In the summer months and during the February congress the aircraft can usually land but cannot always wait, which changes the shape of a booking: it may drop you and reposition rather than sit on the ramp for three days. We establish that at the quote stage and price it accordingly.

The general aviation terminal is a separate building with its own road access, and customs and immigration sit inside it around the clock, which matters on a route from outside the Schengen area. Handling requests are best placed a day ahead, though an hour of notice can usually be absorbed. Five FBOs operate from the same terminal, so the choice is about which lounge and which handler rather than about which side of the airport you end up on.

Where people go from the ramp

– Passeig de Gracia, the Eixample and the business district, twenty to twenty-five minutes;

– Port Vell and the marina, twenty minutes, which covers the yacht traffic that fills this airport in summer;

– Sitges and the Garraf coast, half an hour south and the closest beaches worth the drive;

– The Costa Brava, an hour and a half north to Begur and Cadaques, and the reason some clients ask about Girona instead.

Flying to Barcelona with a dog or a cat

Spain is straightforward in both directions and the crossing takes under two hours, which makes this a comfortable route with an animal on board. The paperwork is the standard European set and your own vet will have issued it many times.

What Spain asks for on the way in:

  • An ISO 11784/11785 microchip, implanted before the rabies vaccination rather than after it;
  • A rabies vaccination given at least 21 days before entry, the animal being 12 weeks old or more when it was administered;
  • An EU Animal Health Certificate from a UK government-authorised veterinarian, issued within 10 days of arrival and valid for the journey home for up to four months;
  • Up to five animals per owner, travelling with the owner as a non-commercial movement;
  • Praziquantel from a Spanish vet 24 to 120 hours before landing back in Britain, recorded with the date and the product. Dogs only; cats are exempt.

Three things worth planning here

– The worming appointment for the return has to happen in Spain inside the 24 to 120 hour window, which rules out a same-day trip with a dog. Two nights is the minimum. The practices in the Eixample deal with British clients constantly and we book the slot alongside the flight;

– Barcelona itself is stricter about dogs than the coast is. Catalan rules keep them off most city beaches in summer, though Llevant beach has a designated stretch, and the metro allows them outside peak hours with a muzzle. Worth knowing before you plan a week in the city rather than on the coast;

– Summer heat on the ramp is the practical constraint. July and August afternoons are hard on an animal walking to the aircraft, so we schedule pet flights early or late and bring the car up to the steps.

Why a charter changes this journey

Nothing goes in a hold and no weight limit applies, so a large dog travels on the cabin floor beside you exactly as a small one does. The flat-faced breeds that scheduled carriers refuse outright travel without an argument, and on a sector of under two hours most animals settle and sleep.

Requirements for ferrets, birds and anything less usual are set out on our flying with pets guide, and our managers confirm the current position in writing for your dates before a booking is taken.

 

Types of flights

Our company provides all types of business flights. Due to a wide variety of jets, we can arrange:

  1. private flights;
  2. corporate flights;
  3. business class flights;
  4. concert tours;
  5. medical flights (with doctors and special equipment on board);
  6. tourist flights for large and small groups;
  7. sports charters for teams and coaching staff;
  8. combined flights (partly by business jet, and partly by helicopter);
  9. exclusive flights on luxury jets for businessmen, celebrities, and politicians;
  10. cargo flights, etc.

A flexible approach and a wide experience allow us to solve problems of any complexity. In 90% of cases, we manage to arrange urgent flights (on the day of application). But to be sure, we recommend you send a request at least 2-5 days before the desired date of departure.

Empty Legs

Another way to fly cheaper is to use Empty Legs. This service allows you to save on regular charter rates. As you know, part of the flights is one-way (for example, when the passenger flies from England to Barcelona). After the flight, the jet returns to its home base (for example, to London Farnborough airport) empty. Such flight is called “Empty Legs”. Empty leg flights can be as cheap as 50-75% off the standard charter price. This option is profitable for both the passengers and the charter companies. The clients can enjoy the services of business aviation at a very good price, while the airlines recoup part of the cost of fuel and jet maintenance.

It is almost impossible to find Empty Leg flights, as the information about them is stored in special databases available only to the aviation brokers and specialized companies. You should know that Empty Leg flights offer the same service as private jet charters. The passengers enjoy a 100% private jet flying experience. Services and flight conditions are discussed individually. We should note that our company cooperates with the world’s largest home bases, so we can offer our clients a wide choice of return flights. Just send a request to our manager who will help you find the best flight options. Please note that Empty Leg flights are sold out very quickly. To avoid such a problem, you can leave us a deposit, and we will contact you as soon as the flight of your choice becomes available. For additional information, check with the operators.

Jet Sharing

Today, Jet Sharing is just as popular as private jet charter. This service involves the joint rental of a business jet with other passengers (that is, the cost of the flight is divided equally between all passengers of a specific flight). This type of flight has become especially popular in the last few years. Many people like Jet Sharing because it allows you to enjoy all benefits of business aviation at favorable prices.

We should note that the number of passengers per Jet Sharing flight varies from 3 to 8, while the cost of the flight ranges from 1200 to 6000 pounds (depending on the destination). This way, you can get a comfortable flight on a business jet (and maybe even meet new business partners) at a very good price. You can check out the schedule of Jet Sharing flights by filling in the online form or contacting our operators by phone or WhatsApp.

Main advantages of this service:

  • All privileges of business aviation, including the use of the business aviation terminal and the check-in 30 minutes before the flight, are retained;
  • You can also use the services of the VIP Lounge (included in the price of the flight);
  • No baggage restrictions;
  • Affordable price: jet sharing is much cheaper than private jet charter;
  • Pets can be carried directly in the aircraft cabin.

 

Our consultants will be happy to help you choose the best flight.

Helicopter charter

Catalonia is compact and its motorways are quick, so a rotary leg here earns its place on the coast rather than in the city. The Costa Brava is the clearest case: an hour and a half by road on a Friday afternoon, half that or less by air. These are the legs we arrange most:

El Prat to the Costa Brava
Begur, Cadaques and the northern coves, an hour and a half by road
25 to 35 minutes
El Prat to Sitges and the Garraf
half an hour south by road, longer on a summer Sunday
about 10 minutes
El Prat to Andorra
three hours by road up through the Pyrenees
about 40 minutes
Barcelona to the Circuit de Catalunya
half an hour north, and considerably more on a race weekend
about 12 minutes
Barcelona to Ibiza or Palma
the island crossings, otherwise a ferry and half a day
55 to 70 minutes

The machines that work these routes

– Airbus H125 and Bell 407, the light singles behind most transfers on this coast and precise into a villa site;

– Airbus H130 and Bell 429 for a party of six, the usual choice on the Costa Brava and Andorra runs;

– Airbus H145 and AgustaWestland AW139 where twin engines are wanted for the Balearic crossings, which most operators insist on over that water.

Two points on rotary legs here

– Landing at a private villa needs the site authorised in advance, and on the Costa Brava the coastal protection rules are strict. Tell us the address when the jet is booked and we will establish what is possible;

– The Pyrenean legs, Andorra in particular, depend on weather and on daylight in a way the coastal ones do not. Winter afternoons close early up there, and we plan the return before the outbound rather than after.

The main goal of our company is to provide the highest level of comfort to our customers. Therefore, we’re always ready to meet you halfway. Our consultants will offer you a wide variety of flights to meet your needs and budget. Most customers prefer a non-cash method (a transfer to an EU bank account), which guarantees a high level of confidentiality and security of payment. All payment details are provided in advance, so you’ll have enough time to make the necessary checks. For years of working in business aviation, our company has gained an impeccable reputation. We practice transparency and are always ready to present all necessary documents.

Private Jet UK works with both physical and legal entities. We guarantee the confidentiality and security of payments. You can pay for the flights from Barcelona in any convenient way:

  • cashless (by transfer to our account);
  • by cash;
  • by card;
  • by cryptocurrency.

 

Our company works with European and British banks, which allows you to choose the most convenient payment method. In addition, we conclude formal agreements and provide our clients with all necessary documents and invoices, which guarantees the safe payment and delivery of services. If you have any financial questions, feel free to contact our private aviation consultants.

If you need to book an urgent flight, please keep in mind that the bank transfer can take a few days. In such situations, we may need to involve our partner companies so that you can pay for your flight in cash. If you have any questions, you can contact your personal consultant 24/7.

Barcelona charters we have flown: six trips from the booking notes

Written up from our brokers’ own notes. Initials replace names, and details are altered where a client would otherwise be identifiable. The prices are what those bookings cost and the flight times match the tables above.

CONGRESS · THE FEBRUARY WEEK

A telecoms supplier: six people and a stand at Fira

London Luton - Barcelona, Citation CJ3+, 1 h 53 min · 6 passengers

Booked in the first week of January for the last week of February, which counts as late notice on this one. The aircraft dropped them and repositioned to Reus for three days because parking at El Prat was not available at any price. About 6,300 GBP each way, plus the repositioning. Everyone who books this week learns the same lesson once.

YACHT · A DELIVERY WEEKEND

Mr D. K.: Port Vell and back the same evening

London Farnborough - Barcelona, Phenom 300, 1 h 41 min · 4 passengers

Out at eight, at the marina by half past eleven Spanish time, three hours aboard and back on the ramp at six. Port Vell is twenty minutes from the ramp, which is what makes a day trip work here. Around 5,200 GBP each way.

FAMILY · COSTA BRAVA

The T. family: five of them and a house near Begur

Manchester - Barcelona, Citation XLS+, 2 h 01 min · 5 passengers

Two weeks in August with a helicopter on the arrival day rather than an hour and a half of coast road with tired children. About 7,600 GBP for the jet. They took the car on the way back because the flight was mid-morning and the road was empty.

PET · A DAY TRIP THAT COULD NOT WORK

Ms R. H.: the answer that moved her dates

London Luton - Barcelona, Citation CJ3+, 1 h 53 min · 2 passengers and a dog

She asked for a day return with a French bulldog, which no scheduled airline would have carried at all. A charter can, but not on a day trip: the worming has to happen in Spain at least 24 hours before landing home. She took three nights, we booked a vet in the Eixample, and the dog flew both ways on the cabin floor.

GRAND PRIX · A RACE WEEKEND

A hospitality group: eight guests and a circuit

Birmingham - Barcelona, Citation XLS+, 1 h 53 min · 8 passengers

Race weekends fill the ramp the way congress week does, and the handling was booked before the tickets were. Twelve minutes by helicopter from El Prat to the circuit against half an hour by road that becomes ninety on the Sunday. Around 7,100 GBP for the inbound leg.

ISLANDS · ADDING PALMA

Ms L. B.: the hop that costs less than the transfer

Palma - Barcelona, Citation M2, 0 h 36 min · 4 passengers

She was already in Mallorca and wanted two days in the city. At about 2,300 GBP the crossing took thirty-six minutes against a ferry and the better part of a day. The Balearic legs are the cheapest thing on this page and the least often asked about.

 

Barcelona as a destination

Barcelona is the capital of Catalonia and the second city of Spain, and it manages something most large cities do not: a working port, a serious business district and a run of city beaches, all within a few kilometres of each other. The medieval quarter and the Eixample grid sit between the hills and the water, and the whole of it is walkable in a way that surprises people who expect a metropolis of a million and a half.

What brings the aircraft is a mix. The Fira runs one of the densest exhibition calendars in Europe, headed by the Mobile World Congress in late February, which alone moves a hundred thousand people through the city in four days. Port Vell and the marinas along the coast hold a good share of the western Mediterranean superyacht fleet, and the Circuit de Catalunya half an hour north takes Formula One and testing traffic through the spring.

The pleasure side needs no introduction and gets one anyway: Gaudi built here and the Sagrada Familia is still not finished, the Boqueria market sits off the Ramblas, and the Costa Brava starts an hour and a half north where the coast turns to pine and rock. Sitges is half an hour south and considerably quieter than its festival reputation suggests.

Where to stay

  • Hotel Arts. The seafront tower beside the Olympic port, with a Ritz-Carlton pedigree and the rooms that most congress delegates and yacht owners end up in;
  • Mandarin Oriental. On Passeig de Gracia between the Gaudi houses, the address for anyone whose week is spent in the Eixample rather than on the water;
  • Almanac Barcelona. Quieter and newer than the two above, on Gran Via, with a rooftop that looks over the whole grid;
  • El Palace. The grand hotel of 1919, formerly the Ritz, and the one that feels least like a chain;
  • Hotel Camiral at PGA Catalunya, an hour north near Girona, for the golf trips and for anyone who wants the Costa Brava rather than the city;
  • On the coast itself, the small hotels of Begur, Calella de Palafrugell and Cadaques, which is where Barcelona goes in August.

What to do

  • Gaudi. The Sagrada Familia, Park Guell, Casa Batllo and La Pedrera, all of which need booking ahead and none of which disappoint;
  • Eat. The Boqueria for the produce, the Gothic quarter for the small places, and a starred scene that runs from Disfrutar downwards;
  • The Gothic quarter and El Born. Roman walls, medieval streets and the Picasso Museum, best walked rather than planned;
  • The water. Port Vell, the Olympic port and the beaches from Barceloneta north, with the sailing that comes with them;
  • Montserrat. The monastery on its serrated mountain an hour inland, and the single best half day outside the city;
  • The Costa Brava. Coves, cliffs and Cadaques where Dali lived, an hour and a half north or half that by air.

When the city is busy

  • Mobile World Congress at the end of February. The hardest week of the year to book, when aircraft, slots and hotel rooms all disappear together;
  • July and August, when the coast fills and the ramp parking tightens with it;
  • The Spanish Grand Prix and the winter testing weeks at Montmelo, which fill the ramp for a long weekend at a time;
  • La Merce in late September, the city festival, which fills the hotels rather than the airport;
  • November to March outside congress week, when this becomes one of the better value Mediterranean sectors we sell and the city is at its most liveable.

 

Frequently asked questions about flying to Barcelona

1How long is a private jet flight from London to Barcelona?

An hour and fifty-three minutes from Luton on a Citation CJ3+ over the 643 nautical mile sector, and about an hour and forty from Farnborough or Biggin Hill on a faster cabin. From Birmingham allow the same as Luton, from Manchester two hours, and from Edinburgh two and a quarter.

2How much does a private jet to Barcelona cost?

From about 4,300 GBP one way from Jersey and 5,200 GBP from Farnborough or Biggin Hill on a Phenom 300, and about 6,300 GBP from Luton on a CJ3+, rising to around 7,600 GBP from Manchester and 8,400 GBP from Newcastle. Each figure buys the whole aircraft. Congress week runs well above these levels.

3Can I land at Sabadell instead of El Prat?

Not on a flight from Britain. Sabadell has no customs facility, which makes it usable for anyone arriving from inside the Schengen area and unusable for a flight out of the United Kingdom. It also closes between ten at night and eight in the morning and takes light aircraft only. For a British departure the answer is El Prat, where customs and immigration are on site around the clock.

4What makes congress week so difficult?

Volume, and parking specifically. The Mobile World Congress brings around a hundred thousand delegates to the city in four days, and El Prat has a fixed number of general aviation stands. The aircraft can usually land; what it often cannot do is wait. Bookings in that week are planned three to six weeks ahead and frequently involve repositioning the jet to Reus or Girona between the legs.

5Can I bring my dog?

Yes, in the cabin with you and with no weight limit or crate, including the flat-faced breeds that scheduled airlines refuse. Spain asks for a microchip, a rabies vaccination at least 21 days old and an EU Animal Health Certificate issued within 10 days of arrival. Coming home, dogs need worming by a Spanish vet 24 to 120 hours before landing in Britain, so a same-day return with a dog is not possible.

We will be glad to see you in our offices in London, Paris and Berlin. Our Spanish desk works with the same handling agents at El Prat through the season, which is what makes a slot during congress week possible rather than hopeful.
