Yes of course it's far away - it's Ryanair after all - but if you go to their website, click on "destinations", select "Girona/Barcelona" you'll be presented with a link to the bus service that meets all Ryanair flights to/from Girona

Other option is take the overnight train but that takes a lot more time and is a lot more expensive.

Try looking at Vueling Airlines www.vueling.com which flies into BCN as opposed to Girona

Onl;y problem with Vueling is that since it is so close to the flight date you won't find any bargains.

Watch your luggage allowances & luggage sizes - Ryanair doesn't use the standard sizes for cabin luggage

No need to prebook; just buy tickets at the counter by the front entrance when your flight lands.

Just took a flight from Pisa to Barcelona myself (with RyanAir) - don't worry, they have shuttle busses waiting after every flight arrives in Girona. Hop on and you'll be in downtown Barcelona in no time at all! (oh, and it's cheap)

Have you been to Barcelona before? I LOVED IT!! It's a really great place.

Cheers,
Crissy
