Flying Los Angeles to Barcelona covers about 6,010 miles, linking Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) with Barcelona-El Prat Airport (BCN); a nonstop takes roughly 12h35, with winds moving it either way. Nonstop flights do show up in the data (less than 1% of options), but the cheapest award in every cabin connects.
Los Angeles–Barcelona is a long-haul trip, so cabin choice shapes the whole booking. The economy floor connects once; check the layover's length before booking. The cheapest economy seat adds about $183 in taxes and fees, well above the route's typical economy taxes, so weigh points and cash together before booking. The middle step, premium economy, costs about 2.7 times economy; business costs about 3.8 times. Bank points transfer to Virgin Atlantic Flying Club; check for a transfer bonus, then confirm the seat before moving them.
Virgin Atlantic Flying Club wins economy at 15,000 points. American AAdvantage takes premium economy at 40,000 points and business class at 57,500. Alaska Atmos Rewards' 70,000-point first-class fare connects; treat it as mixed-cabin until each segment's cabin checks out. Among the remaining 12 programs, United MileagePlus, Air Canada Aeroplan, and Delta SkyMiles are good places to cross-check. American AAdvantage takes over at premium economy, so the right currency depends on where you want to sit.
Cabin floors here are spread across Air France (SkyTeam) and American Airlines (oneworld), so no single alliance holds every cabin floor. In economy, the floor sits on Air France, booked through SkyTeam partner Virgin Atlantic Flying Club. Award seats here come from 37 airlines, so compare several programs before transferring points.
Departing the Los Angeles area, Burbank (BUR) and Ontario (ONT) both cost far more at 40,000 points in economy against the 15,000-point floor and aren't worth it unless LAX has nothing. Out of Los Angeles, Amsterdam is a cheaper long-haul redemption at last check, from 9,500 points.
