The Marseille-BCN train takes about 6 hours! Going back to Paris via TG and then flying seems too much of a hassle, though requires less time. I know that Air Madrid flies from Nice to BCN but I can't get the website to accept my dates!

Dukey

And those dates are?????

Not quite sure yet- probably 18 sept. I prefer to leave in the morning.

Apparently Czech Airlines (?) and Air France fly from Marseille to Barcelona. I found it on Expedia.fr. The travel times don't look that great. You'd get something better if you went through Paris!

www.whichbudget.com lists discount airlines serving european routes.

pavfec is right, it's the one and only direct flight, a codeshare between AF and Czech, listed twice but it's the same flight:

Dep. 21:55 arr. 22:55 Marseille
Barcelone Aéroport del Prat OK 696
Czech Airlines 18/09/06 Duration 01:00hr

Dep. 21:55 arr. 22:55 Marseille
Barcelone Aéroport del Prat AF 4948
Air France* 18/09/06 Duration 01:00hr

From Nice there are two flights::

18/09/2006 dep. 14h45 arr. 17h20 BARCELONE IB8779 IBERIA Terminal 1

18/09/2006 dep. 17h50 arr. 18h55 BARCELONE IB8783 IBERIA Terminal 1

Czech Airlines??? And the AirFrance ticket is way over my budget. The only train to BCN from M leaves at 3pm and apparently takes a good portion of the day.

I already tried whichbudget.com, which didn't even list Czech Airlines and AirFrance. No direct flights from M to BCN.

What about taking the train and leaving the day before? You'd get into Barcelona in the evening and you'd need a hotel room.
