Giorna and Reus airports are 92 km and 106 km away from Barcelona.

Frankfurt Hahn is 100 km away from Frankfurt city center.

Luton, Stansted and Southend airports are further away from London than Heathrow and Gatwick.

Paris Beauvais Airport is 85 km from Paris. Châlons Vatry Airport is labeled as "Paris Vatry" on Ryanair's app. It is more than 100km away from Paris.
