Frequently asked questions about flying LEVEL from Barcelona to Los Angeles
Is LEVEL still flying from Barcelona to Los Angeles?
No. LEVEL is suspending the Barcelona to Los Angeles route from 25 October 2026. The suspension was filed in July 2026 and covers both Barcelona to Los Angeles and Barcelona to Boston. No return date has been announced.
Why is LEVEL ending the Barcelona to Los Angeles route?
LEVEL says it is concentrating on routes with more stable, year-round demand. The wider reason is a shortage of aircraft engines that forced the airline to cut capacity across its network through 2026, taking Los Angeles from seven flights a week down to four and then to three.
Which routes does LEVEL still fly from Barcelona?
After 25 October 2026 LEVEL’s long-haul network from Barcelona is New York JFK, Miami, Buenos Aires, Santiago de Chile and Lima. San Francisco was suspended in March 2026 and Boston stops on the same date as Los Angeles.
What aircraft does LEVEL use on long-haul flights?
LEVEL flies the Airbus A330-200 on every long-haul route. Economy is laid out 2-4-2 with roughly 31 inches of seat pitch, and Premium Economy is 2-3-2 with 37 inches. The aircraft are not all identical inside, so the exact seat count varies.
Does LEVEL include meals and checked baggage in economy?
It depends on the fare. LEVEL sells three bundles in each cabin: Light, Comfort and Extra. Economy Light includes neither a checked bag nor a meal, Economy Comfort adds a 23 kg checked bag and a meal, and Economy Extra adds seat selection on top. Confirm the current inclusions on flylevel.com before booking.
How long is the flight from Barcelona to Los Angeles?
Around twelve hours westbound. The return leg to Barcelona is shorter because of the jet stream. LEVEL operated the route as a non-stop service.
Is LEVEL a good airline for families with children?
For a family that wants a direct transatlantic flight at a low fare, yes, with one condition: book a fare that includes seat selection so you are not separated. Economy Light does not include it, and on a twelve-hour flight with children that is not the place to save money.
Who owns LEVEL, and is it a low-cost airline?
LEVEL is owned by IAG, the group behind British Airways, Iberia, Aer Lingus and Vueling. It is a long-haul low-cost carrier: the fare buys the seat and everything else is sold separately. It flew under Iberia’s operating licence until December 2024, when it received its own.
