Would you book a connection through BCN on purpose over a tighter routing?

I am comparing two itineraries and one of them connects through El Prat with a longer stop.

The appeal is good city access plus solid food options. The hesitation is late return transport stress.

Would you intentionally route through Barcelona if the total trip time was a bit longer but the layover quality looked much better?

I would absolutely choose BCN on purpose if the airport quality meaningfully lowers the chance of a chaotic connection day.

The best itinerary is not always the shortest one. Sometimes the calmer hub is worth far more than the saved hour on paper.

That said, if late return transport stress is tied to the season or the exact bank of flights you are using, I would model that before committing.

A longer routing only wins when the extra time actually buys comfort, flexibility, or a better recovery window.
