Oh dear I really don't want to upset all the Ryan Air fans !!!! out there LOL!!!!!!! yeah Pondgirl El Prat is a bit of a pain but I've got used to it,and I use the coastal windy road down to the free A7 so avoid them horrific tolls !! extra petrol /diesel to El Prat, poss outwayed with higher car hire cost from Reus.
This Might have made me  fall on the floor with serious convulsion,s  shock  but I did check out Ryan Air a couple of minutes ago ,and a day later flight with 20kg £127.98 all in inc card charges, so I have  a extra 2kg and at moment ! and a  extra fiver in my pocket  not sure but do you get a few millimeter extra leg space with Jet 2 ?

Last time we parked at BCN we used parkeu.com. They are just off the airport and ferry you very quickly to and from. Less than half the price of the airport car parks and look like they watch over you car much better. Recommended.
