Introducing Barcelona Airport

Spain is consistently a popular country to visit, and travellers who want to explore Barcelona and Northern Spain are likely to land here. It’s the only international airport serving this region of Catalonia and has the title of the second-largest airport in Spain, after Madrid's Barajas Airport. Major national and low-cost airlines use Barcelona Airport as their hubs, and well-known Spanish air carriers like Vueling and Iberia make their homes here. Two terminals and three runways help airlines and passengers get where they need to go and in the unlikely event of a delay or long layover, the airport definitely has enough to pass the time. From duty-free shopping to comfortable lounges to fantastic restaurants, there’s always something to do here.

Heathrow Airport: The Details

London Heathrow Airport, located in Hillingdon, consistently ranks high for passenger volume and is an invariably busy aviation hub. Heathrow’s passenger capacity easily stretches beyond the 80 million mark, which seems like a tall order since the airport only has 2 runways. A pillar of efficiency, Virgin and BA are big players here alongside well over 80 other airlines that allow excited travellers to reach nearly 220 destinations. In short, London Heathrow is a critical access point connecting Britain to the rest of the world.
