Chicago to Barcelona in business.
American and United both fly O’Hare to Barcelona nonstop, but only seasonally. The flights run through the warmer months, overnight, in about eight and a half hours. Outside the season every option connects, usually through Madrid, London or Frankfurt.
Three things worth knowing.
What our specialists check before they price ORD to BCN.
Summer is the peak, so July and August are the hardest months for business seats on the nonstops. Shoulder weeks at either end of the season are easier. Mobile World Congress, late in the winter, falls outside the nonstop season: those trips connect, and hotels in the city book out well ahead.
- When to fly
- Summer is the peak, so July and August are the hardest months for business seats on the nonstops. Shoulder weeks at either end of the season are easier. Mobile World Congress, late in the winter, falls outside the nonstop season: those trips connect, and hotels in the city book out well ahead.
- The airports
- American leaves from Terminal 3 at O’Hare and United from Terminal 1, which has a Polaris lounge for business passengers. In Barcelona, both arrive at El Prat’s Terminal 1. The Aerobús runs to Plaça de Catalunya in roughly 35 minutes. A taxi to the Eixample is similar outside rush hour.
- The seat to want
- Both airlines fly the route on the Boeing 787-8. United’s cabin is Polaris and American’s is Flagship Business, and both seats are flat beds with direct aisle access. Both overnight flights leave Chicago late in the evening and land in Barcelona around lunchtime the next day.
