Terminal Information – Arriving

Arrival terminals are subject to change. This information is intended as a guideline.

Air France and Vueling land at Terminal 1. Ryanair, Transavia France and easyJet land at Terminal 2. Express buses serve both terminals. Aerobus A1 leaves from Terminal 1 while Aerobus A2 leaves from Terminal 2. Both services offer a speedy way to reach Plaça de Catalunya in central Barcelona. You can buy your tickets on board or at the machines in the arrival hall. One-way costs €5.90* (about £4.60) and a 15 day return costs €10.20* (about £7.95). A cheaper option is the local bus, route 46, which stops at both terminals and takes just under an hour to reach the city centre. One-way tickets are just €2* (about £1.55). There's a train station at Terminal 2: if your flight lands at Terminal 1 you can take a free shuttle to reach it. The local train is quite cheap, with single tickets costing just €4.10* (about £3.20). Note that the train doesn't terminate in the city centre, so you need to pay attention to make sure you get out at the right stop. Both terminals have a taxi rank. Cabs are metered and usually cost €30-40* (£23-31) if you're going into the city centre. Private transfers are also available, some through the major hotels in Barcelona. Most of the major car hire companies have reception desks in the arrivals hall. With Skyscanner you can compare car hire at Barcelona Airport to make sure you're getting the best price.
