Traveling for business to Barcelona
Which airline to choose for flying first class to Barcelona?
Barcelona is a destination that several airline companies serve. Iberia and low-budget airlines may seem like a logical choice, but if you want to fly in business class, you will have to look further. Iberia however does offer business class. You will have double the space in the plane which is convenient if some work needs to be done. However, if you want a truly exceptional service or fly in first class, it is better to opt for airlines such as Air France or Lufthansa.
