Information regarding Barcelona Airport (El Prat.)
 Click

Click
here for information about Reus airport
Barcelona International Airport, El Prat, is located 12 km south of the
city centre. The airport has 3 different terminals:
Terminal 1 which is the airport's new terminal and was finished in 2009. Big airliners such as British Airways, Lufthansa, KLM, SAS and Spainair fly from here.
The terminals 2A and 2B are the airport's old terminals and are located 7km from the new terminal. Most of the lowcost airlines such as EasyJet, Airberlin and Transavia fly from here.
A fourth terminal is being built right now which should be finished in
2010.
Address and contact details
Aeropuerto de Barcelona
08820 El Prat de Llobregat
Phone: +34 902 404 704

Parking
Barcelona Airport has 12 886 parking spaces. 2200 covered spaces are in
the building across from Terminal C.
0 - 4 days 17.45 € per day.
5 < days 13.95 € per day.
Leaving the luggage at the
airport
There are storage boxes in the car park opposite Terminal B.
Large box 50x80x90 cm 4.80 €
/ 24 hours
Medium box 35x80x60 cm 4.20
€ / 24 hours
Small box 35x80x45 cm 3.70 €

Car hire
In Terminal B, you will find the major rental companies Avis, Hertz and
Europcar. Here you can rent a car directly over the counter. However, I
recommend that you rent your car from a rental car agency before you fly
to Spain. You don't have to queue and prices are much cheaper since the
agencies usually have good discounts.

How to get from the airport to Barcelona’s centre
Getting from the airport into
Barcelona is quite easy and painfree. There are three options to get into
the centre.
Taxi: A cab ride from the airport
to the city centre should cost around 28 - 33 €. Look out for the odd
dishonest cab driver that adds his ‘own’ taxes, but do not be surprised if
there are some additional costs when the taxi has arrived to its
destination. It is permissible by law to add 1 € per bag, and 3 € to drive
to and from the airport.
Aerobus: Barcelona's blue airport
buses are waiting just outside each terminal. A ride costs 4.05 € per
person and takes about 30 minutes to the centre. The bus stops at 6
different places in the city:
Plaza Espanya (Near
Montjuic, pøbler Espanyol, Fira)
Gran Via / Urgell (the
middle of Eixample)
Plaza Universitat (Beside
University, Pl. Catalunya)
Plaza Catalunya (Center,
La Rambla, El Corte Inglés)
Pg Gràcia /
Diputació (La Pedrera, Casa Batllo)
Estacio Sants (train
station)
Train: Renfe is the name of
Spain's national rail company. It is the cheapest option to get to the
city and trains leave every half hour. However, whilst a new high-speed
train is being built, it might be a little complicated to find the right
train. The only train you should take from the airport is called C2
terminus Sant Celoni. It departs from the terminal 2B and stops at the following stations:
El Prat de Llobregat
Bellvitge (Barcelona's
main hospital)
Barcelona Sants (main
train station)
Barcelona Passeig de Gracia
(5 minute walk from Pl. Catalunya and La Rambla)
