Disembarkation and flight time from Barcelona
Hi what would be the earliest time to book a flight from Barcelona to London when disembarking at Barcelona? I have been checking flights and just wondered if 10:10 was to early to book a flight
Thanks William

Personally...having done a couple of cruises from Barcelona I wouldn't book our homebound flight any earlier than midday if we were flying home on day of arrival into port. Don't need the added stress of trying to get to the airport when there's no guarantee what time you'll be off the ship! We generally fly home day after arrival and that way no rush to get off ship... !

Thanks for quick reply, was thinking about staying the night and taking a Sunday flight but after 2 weeks in Orlando and 2 weeks cruising back will be glad just to get home.

In theory it is possible but it is extremely tight - any slight delay in disembarkation and you would have problems. The chances of a delay are greater following a transatlantic as customs and immigration authorities are more vigilant. On balance I wouldn't risk a flight before 12 noon.

We walked off the ship yesterday in Barcelona and arrived at the airport around 8.20am, However it was not a transatlantic cruise so debarking is easier.
However in Barcelona Airport there is an additional layer of beurocracy. Once checked in you have to go through security which is stringent, and then there are lines to pass through border control even though you are leaving the country and not arriving. This can add a significant amount of time to get from check in to your gate. Personally as others have said I would never chance booking a flight earlier than middday. |

I wouldn't risk a flight so early. When we boarded there was some sort of delay with disembarkation so people were still getting off at mid day! Also while we were in Barcelona there were taxi strikes and a go slow by security staff at the airport. People in our FB group were reporting delays of 2 - 3 hours just to get through security. I'd book a later flight just to be on the safe side.
