ToiletsI flew from Barcelona to Granada, about 2 hours. The price-performance ratio was very, very good. The problem was that the boarding time was very early. That's why I had to get up early, which is a minus point of the flight. When I boarded, I was able to put my suitcase in, then I went to the loo and the loo was not very clean. The good thing about this flight was the wifi it was very smooth I was able to do my work so I would give the whole flight three out of five stars.
Advantages
Direct flightDisadvantages
Use of Terminal 1 in BarcelonaFortunately, you can also fly the route from Barcelona to Granada directly and don't have to take the bus or train. I flew this route with Vueling VY2010. Vueling is a budget airline, but much more likeable than other competitors. Unfortunately, in Barcelona they use the T1, which unlike the T2 is not connected to the railway network. Online check-in worked without any problems. And the flight went quickly and without any further incidents. The modern cabin of the A321 used met European standards and snacks and drinks were only available to buy. In Granada, a bus was waiting for all the passengers and a reasonably priced bus took them to the city centre. The flight was more than punctual.
Advantages
Punctual and uncomplicatedDisadvantages
Little legroomMy flight IB5176/VY2014 on 6 June 2022 from Barcelona to Granada was booked with Iberia and operated by Vueling. I booked beforehand via and then checked in online. It was a pleasant short haul experience with a small aircraft. Comfort: Seat (20E) was basic but adequate for the 1.5 hour flight. Amenities: No in-flight entertainment, basic cabin amenities. Service: Efficient and polite, but no complimentary snacks or drinks. Cleanliness: I didn't use the toilet on the short journey, but the seats and centre aisle were clean. Duration of journey: Perfectly adhered to and ideal for the route. Value for money: Reasonable for a short-haul flight.

Spain uses the euro (€) as its currency. Travelers can use both cash and cards, but cards are widely accepted in cities and tourist areas, while cash may be preferred for small purchases, markets, and rural locations.
In Granada, travelers should be cautious of pickpocketing, especially in crowded areas like the Alhambra, Albaicín, and public transport. Common scams include unofficial tour guides offering overpriced or fake tours. It's advisable to use official services and be mindful of personal belongings in busy spots to ensure a safe visit.
Pack lightweight, versatile clothing suitable for the destination's climate, and use secure, lockable luggage to protect belongings. Keep essential items like travel documents, medication, and valuables in a carry-on bag for easy access. Use packing organizers or cubes to maximize space and maintain order. Lastly, include a small first aid kit and personal hygiene items for added comfort during travel.
