Lowest fares from Toronto to Barcelona
What to know before you book Toronto to Barcelona
Air Canada flies nonstop from Toronto to Barcelona in the summer season. Outside the summer, trips connect in Montreal, Madrid, Lisbon or another European hub, often for a similar fare.
Summer nonstop or one stop?
The seasonal nonstop sells out first in July and August. One-stop trips through Madrid, Lisbon or Paris give more choice of times and can be cheaper.
Open-jaw trips
Barcelona pairs well with Madrid, Lisbon or Rome. Flying into one city and home from another usually costs about the same as a round trip, and saves backtracking.
