Inside each terminal

Check-in, security, the station link and how to change terminals — verified against the airport's own pages.

T1

A separate passenger building. Aena assigns the terminal by airline rather than destination, but carrier pages for the sampled T1 examples blocked automated verification, so the flight details are the only assignment published here.

From the train & tram station

There is no R2 Nord platform at T1. Ride the free terminal shuttle to T2 for Aeroport railway station; metro L9 Sud does have its own Aeroport T1 stop.

Changing terminals

The landside bus to T2 is free and runs around the clock. Aena lists 10 minutes from T1 to T2, with departures every 5–10 minutes depending on the time band.

Accessibility

Request Sin Barreras assistance at least 48 hours before departure through the airline, then report at check-in or an assistance monolith on arrival.

T2

The passenger complex on the railway side. Aena places Ryanair in T2, while Ryanair describes its Barcelona gates as generally being in T2B; confirm the building shown for the individual flight.

From the train & tram station

Aeroport station for R2 Nord is beside T2. The same terminal also has an Aeroport T2 stop on metro L9 Sud.

Changing terminals

The free landside shuttle back to T1 operates 24 hours, at 5–10 minute intervals according to the current time bands. The reverse ride time is left unpublished until independently cross-checked.

Accessibility

Ask the airline for Sin Barreras assistance at least 48 hours ahead; at the airport, announce arrival at check-in or at one of the marked assistance monoliths.
