    Hi All,
    I have finally convinced my better half to go to a F1 GP,so have decided on the Spanish on May 14th.
    We would like to book a total package via a travel agent (acc, flights, transfers etc etc)
    Can anyone recommend an agent that they have used and have experience in F1?
    Any advice for 2 novices would also be appreciated
    Thanks in advance

    I haven't used a package before but the Spanish one is very easy to do by yourself. Ryanair flights are the cheapest at the moment, use trivago to book hotel in Barcelona and then get the bus from the city to the circuit (about 10 or 15 euro return per day from what I remember).

    Book tickets to suit your budget, I was in grandstand L which cost €330.

    Yeah I'd agree with Christy, I've gone to Barcelona for the F1 and MotoGP six or seven times and it's always best just to book your own. Flights are cheap with Aer Lingus and Ryanair (usually about 120 return), there's a lot of hotel in the city and Airbnb is always a good option to look into as well. The only problem you'll have with Montmelo is getting to the track. There's trains every 30 mins from the city centre to Montmelo but it's a 30 min walk to the track from the station, there's a free shuttle bus from town but its very busy.
