Aerobus Barcelona

1 - At Barcelona airport:

• You can buy your Aerobus ticket on site at ATMs located in Terminal T1 or Terminal T2, but you may lose time in case of high traffic.
• You can also buy your ticket on board the Aerobus, but only by giving the change. The driver does not give change on a bill over 20€. You risk losing your time and that of other travelers.

2- From Barcelona city centre to El Prat airport: 

Same principle as the one-way trip.  You will find Aerobus vending machines and will also have the possibility to buy on the bus from the driver but with the same inconveniences and waste of time. 

Why do I have to indicate a date when I purchase my Aerobus ticket if it is valid for 1 year from the date of purchase?

The date you give when you purchase your Aerobus ticket is not correlated to your trip since your Aerobus ticket is open. This is only an additional indication to make the bus service more fluid. 

What is the difference between the Aerobus A1 and A2 lines? 

• Line A1 leaves and returns to terminal T1
