Travel: Flights to Barcelona

Many companies fly to Barcelona Airport, El Prat, which is connected regularly to the city by a bus and a train service. Smaller and further away airports such as Reus Airport or Girona Airport have also a bus shuttle to Barcelona.

There is a bus that stops outside the Terminal Building at Barcelona Airport that travels to Placa de Catalunya. At time of Research (February 2007) this costs E3.75 one way.

The Barcelona Bus service runs a shuttle bus from Estacio del Nord in Barcelona to Girona Airport and this ties in with various flight times. A one-way ticket costs E12 and a return ticket costs E21. The journey takes approximately one hour and ten minutes.

El Prat is about 15 minutes by train to Sants train station. A single ticket is about €2.20, but an under-advertised fact is that you can use the T-10 ticket (€6.90 for ten trips, including all bus and metro transfers made within 75 minutes) instead. You can buy a T-10 from the ticket vending machine at the airport station.
