Research and Compare On Car Hire Barcelona Airport
Barcelona International Airport (IATA: BCN, ICAO: LEBL), also known as El Prat, is a
major transport hub and fields flights from all over Europe and beyond.
Terminals: There are now two terminals, T1 and T2, the latter with A, B, and C subdivisions. T1 and T2 are
linked by a bus shuttle (every 6 to 8 minutes, travel time 10 minutes).
T1 has opened in June 2009 and hosts Spanair and a variety of major international airlines (e.g. SAS, TAP,
Lufthansa, Austrian).
Sectors A, B and C of T2 are all within fairly easy walking distance of each other. T2 B is used by some Spanish
carriers (Iberia, Air Europa, Vueling) and their partners (eg members of Oneworld alliance for Iberia). T2 C is
smallest and used for all domestic flights, including the Puente Aereo (Air shuttle) to Madrid. T2 A is used for
all other flights except those now departing from the new T1.
Please be aware that you can check in for your flight only at the respective terminal T1 or T2, and since they are
miles apart and there is little information available at the train station and bus stops, it will be good advice
to know where to go before arriving at the airport. AENA provides information about the allocation of airlines to
terminals.
