Intra-European Airlines
We are looking to fly from Frankfurt to Barcelona and would appreciate anyone here on this board who can lead me to inexpensive airlines, for example Ryan Air (that does not fly between Frankfurt and Barcelona).
Lufthansa and Iberian Airways are quite expensive. We will need only one way flights since we will be doing a transatlantic cruise back.
Many thanks.

Try www.flights.com They are based in Germany, and have offices in New York & California. Good for finding flights within Europe as well as within the U.S.
I have used them and check periodically and find them quite good for prices, etc.
Just remember they use day 1st I believe when asking for dates to travel.

Mary,
Have you tried getting a low fare on Lufthansa or Iberia by searching for a roundtrip ticket including a Saturday night "stay" in Barcelona? You can just throw out the unused return coupon.
Otherwise, your best bet is to take Germanwings (Lufthansa's new low-fare carrier) from Köln/Bonn to Barcelona. They only start service on Oct. 27 though - you can already book them at:
http://www.germanwings.de/index_en.html
You can take very fast ICE train service from Frankfurt to Köln. The quickest connections take less than 2 hours from Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof (main station) to the airport. You get off the train at Köln Hauptbahnhof, then take the shuttle bus (service every 15 mins approx.). The only drawback is that these fast trains are expensive (about EUR 50).
Train & bus schedules are available at:
http://reiseauskunft.bahn.de/bin/query.exe/en
Enter "Flughafen Koeln" as your destination.
Another cheap, if less convenient alternative would be to fly Ryanair from Frankfurt/Hahn to Perpignan, then train to Barcelona
Hope this helps,
Andre
