Barcelona–El Prat (BCN) is Catalonia’s primary international gateway and usually functions as a full-service hub for major carriers and low-cost airlines alike, while nearby Girona and Reus can handle budget and seasonal traffic. El Prat sits about 12 km southwest of the city center; travel options include the Aerobus express coach (roughly 30–40 minutes, moderate fares), commuter trains and regional R2 service (30–35 minutes, lower fares), taxis (25–35 minutes, higher cost), plus occasional airport shuttle services to key districts. The airport typically offers a wide range of amenities and good connectivity, though peak times can mean longer security and transfer waits; Girona/Reus are farther out and can be cheaper but add ground-transfer time and less frequent public links.

Alicante–Elche Miguel Hernández Airport (ALC) functions as the region’s main international gateway, handling a mix of legacy carriers and many low-cost airlines that typically serve seasonal and year-round routes across Europe. It sits about 9–11 km south of Alicante city centre, with taxi rides usually taking 15–25 minutes and costing roughly €15–€30; local buses (lines C-6 and C-54) can take 20–30 minutes for a few euros, while an airport tram connection links to the city and nearby towns in around 25–40 minutes at modest fares. Pros: compact terminal, frequent budget options and short transfer times. Cons: can be busy in summer and some services may be limited outside peak season.
