Low-cost fares to Barcelona are back and better than ever, with multiple carriers to choose from this time around.

If Spain’s sunshine, sangria, and tapas have been calling you, now could be the time to answer, thanks to crazy low fares, starting at just $288 round-trip!

Here’s all the information you need to grab this bargain for yourself.

Fare Deal — Details

In the past, we have seen bargain prices from LEVEL, the Madrid-registered low-cost carrier that is owned by International Airlines Group and is, therefore, in the same conglomerate of airlines as Aer Lingus, British Airways, Iberia, and Vueling.

This time, we are seeing even lower fares but flying on Iberia — with meals included! And if you don’t mind spending a few more dollars, you can fly Delta or United for just $349 round-trip.

However, if you’re determined to visit Barcelona and want to find the most affordable fares, Iberia is the best option at just $288.

Here are the details:

Class: Economy
Routes: New York (JFK) to Barcelona (BCN)
Dates: January through March 2026
Fares: From $288 round-trip

The cheapest fares are from New York, flying on Iberia, coming in at just $288 for the transatlantic flight. The best part? These are nonstop itineraries.

Flying on Delta is a little more expensive, but the fares are still under the $350 mark, which is an excellent value.

United is matching the $349 price as well, so there are some solid options to choose from.

Hot Tip:

Barcelona is without doubt one of the greatest cities in the world, and for that reason, you should stay somewhere equally as great. If you need some inspiration, take a read of our thoughts on the Alexandra Barcelona, The Barcelona EDITION, and the W Barcelona.

Best Ways To Book

These super-low cash fares from the East Coast to Spain are a great example of when paying with cash, instead of using points, makes sense.

We’d recommend using a credit card such as the Platinum Card^® from American Express when paying for tickets like this. Not only would you earn 5x points per $1 spent when booking through the AmexTravel.com portal or booking directly with the airline (up to $500,000 of these purchases per year, then 1x points), but you’d also get a Priority Pass membership (requires enrollment). That means you’d be eligible for lounge access before your flight, even when flying economy!

Final Thoughts

The dates of these great value fares are in the shoulder season, meaning there should be fewer tourists in the city than if you visited during summer. If you’re not so hung up on the thrills and frills of luxury travel and just want a great deal to Barcelona, this deal should certainly not be missed!
