ChristineSF,<BR><BR><BR>Flying on EasyJet from Geneva might be cheaper &amp; faster than taking the train.<BR><BR>They have 1 flight a day leaving Geneva at 13:00 and landing in Barcelona at 14:25.<BR>www.easyjet.com<BR>A quick check showed lowest fares of CHF 72.50 one way including all taxes and fees (approx. 50 EUR or USD).<BR><BR>You can take a train leaving Lyon-Perrache at 9:23 and Part-Dieu at 9:34. arrival in Geneva Airport at 11:39 if you make the first connection at Geneva main station, otherwise 11:51. Still plenty of time as check-in closes 30 min. before departure and it's a 10 min. walk tops to check-in from the train. Schedules at:<BR>http://www.rail.ch/pv/index_e.htm<BR>Cost is EUR 25.80.<BR><BR>So, you could get to Barcelona airport from Lyon in about 5 hours for less than 80 EUR this way. There's cheap &amp; covenient bus &amp; train service from Barcelona aiport to town (less than EUR 5).<BR><BR>Finally, for information on regional train travel in Spain, go to:<BR>www.renfe.es<BR><BR>Hope this helps,<BR>Andre<BR>
