Try Monarch from Manchester.

Normally if you go to an airports web site they provide a list or map of where they fly to.

From there you can then identify the airlines that fly there.

alternatively, look at Ryanair, who fly to Girona and/or Reus (both of which are served by bus to Barcelona).

All destinations served by Barcelona's (wonderfully-named) El Prat airport, together with the relevant airlines, are listed here:

(That's the first of 6 pages. Click through the links, at the top of the list to see more destinations).

That list shows easyJet as the only operator ex Liverpool. It also show that both Monarch and British Midland (bmibaby) fly from Manchester:

As Mushroom25 indicates, Ryanair serve Barcelona via bus links from Girona (which is served from both Liverpool and Manchester) and Reus (which is only served from Liverpool). The non-stop buses take just over an hour, from either airport, into Barcelona city centre.

If you're not a good traveller give the bus a miss abit of a windy journey - from Girona to Barcelona

Which airport is the nearest to the city
Thanks xx

Barcelona's 'proper' airport ('El Prat') is just 19 minutes away, by train, from Barcelona Sants station (in the centre of the city). The fare is �2.80 each way but it would probably make more sense to buy a 'T-D�a' ticket, for �5.80, which give a day's unlimited travel on Barcelona's excellent integrated transport system. Alternatively, bus services into the city centre are listed here:

The buses from Girona take 1 hour 15 minutes into the Estaci�n del Norte bus station, in central Barcelona. I've visited Barcelona (for a day trip!) via this route and (unlike Cath) found the bus journey to be a pleasant experience. �12 single, �21 return. Timetable here:

Buses from Reus take 1 hour 30 minutes to Barcelona Sants station. Also �12 single, �21 return. Timetable here:
