Parking Barcelona airport

I'm having absolutely no luck trying to find out if there is off airport parking at Barcelona, which is reasonably priced!

Has no one out there ever flown out of Barcelona and parked off airport??? HELP!!!

Try booking a hotel for a night with free parking and get a taxi or shuttle to the airport. This is what I have done before.

Hi Rose,

Thought about that one, but booking in for one night = a maximum of two weeks parking. I need four weeks!!! Do you know of a hotel who for a nights booking, will let me park for four weeks??

I think we might be going over old ground - couldn't you get someone to drive you to Figueres, and get the train...or get the train from Perpignan...or get Frogbus to Girona airport and travel onwards on the airport transport?

I could do all that, but 'm disabled and my wife is badly incapacitated and using our own car is the easiest option for us!! Public transport is the last option, which is why I keep trying just in case someone has the information!!

Bringing this theme up agagin..

Alizée, my daughter, and her boyfriend will be flying with "Swiss" BCN-ZRH in early August and will stay with my other daughter Tanya for a week, taking in the famous Zurich Street Parade 08August** and some touristy stuff, as it will be Tony's (the boyfriend) first time in Switzerland.

They plan to drive from Carcassonne to Barcelona, fly the same day to Zurich and leave the car somewhere in a medium term parking. Booking a hotel is out of the question!

Anyone any constructive ideas out there?

In the old days, they could have left the car in the Swissair downtown parking at the central office - but those days and the people I knew are long gone..

I would park at Figueres and take the train from there to the airport. There are other stops along that line that could be cheaper than Figueres for parking too. Perhaps in Gerona?

why don't you see if there is any brit type forum in the area ( maybe anglo info barcelona) and maybe you'll get some on the ground advice there .. or a swap, someone might be flying out of carcassonne soon and might be eager to do a car park swap?

As there seem to be no definite "concrete" tips forthcoming, rather than suggestions, I think I'll leave it to them - after all, the boyfriend has his own IT-based business and website - and can surf probably much better than I can!! I'm looking after the airline part already, anyway..

BCN is notoriously difficult and expensive for car parking.

If we are going for any more than a few days from there we ALWAYS book in for one nt at the Tryp Aeropuerto hotel. You can get an on-line room often for 70€ and you can leave your car there as long as you want ,in relative security. Then just get their shuttle bus (every 20 mins) to the Airport.

Rog,is there not a TLS-ZRH service?

Yes, but not at the price of my colleague's offer of 'friend tickets' on Swiss - which basically cost airport tax only. Unfortunately, Swiss doesn't fly to Toulouse!
