What are some options to get from Seville to Barcelona by train or flying?

Fly or take a high speed train. I would fly to give you more time in Barcelona. Forget the buses.

What's some ways to get from Sevilla Spain to Barcelona....Flying, train, or bus are the options--rental car out.

you can fly that takes 1:45 (of course not counting the time going through the airport routine)
you can take a train that takes 6:00 (of course not counting the time getting to the train station routine)

And I would fly as there are 6 flights a day and I hate sitting on a train for more than 3 hours

There are direct high speed trains that takes 5:35 city centre to city centre. Trip report: https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2009/jun/23/spain-rail-ave-high-speed

Thank you for the replies so far.

Are there more options for flights from Sevilla to Madrid to Barcelona rather than nonstop Sevilla to Madrid. My research so far indicates few airlines are non-stop, and I've aready had trouble (with the use of my credit card) with Vueling on the non-stop route.

I haven't yet researched the prices or selections on the one stops from Sev - Madrid - Barc.

What do you think?

I can't imagine why would you want to take connecting flights from Barcelona to Seville when you can take an AVE train and be there in 5 1/2 hours.

Yes, there are flights via Madrid with Iberia, but those take around 4 hours, so the direct train will be faster. And also more comfortable.

I'm not sure what problems you're having with Vueling, but Ryanair also fly that route.

Flying via Madrid would be a right faff for such short flights.

As well as the direct express trains from Sevilla to Barcelona, you have more options if you change at Madrid and they aren't much longer journeys since they're designed for connections.

I'd use the railway, ideally a direct train in first class, probably. Much more civilised than flying on a budget airline.

Thank you to each of you who replied!

If you do end up taking a train that requires a connection in Madrid, a tip:

AVE trains use two different levels in Atocha station. At least in 2015, the train from Madrid to Barcelona used the upper level; I don't know which level the train from Seville to Madrid uses. Each level has its own departure lounge, behind security.

If your trains arrive and depart from the same level, just stay in the lounge till your next train is posted (there is seating, and you can buy refreshments). If you arrive at one level and depart from the other, you don't have to go through security or risk getting lost in the maze that is Atocha station. Instead, you can use the elevator that directly connects the two lounges. It's outside the lounge, in the track area, next to the high numbered tracks. Ask if you have any trouble finding it.

Due to the existence of this elevator, you only need to allow 20-30 minutes between AVE trains. Of course, it's even faster and easier to get a train that goes direct without needing changes; door to door, this should also be faster than a plane, since the train stations are central and the airports aren't.
