Expert Connection Tips for Barcelona-El Prat

T1 vs T2: Know Your Terminal T1 (newer) serves most major airlines. T2 (older, 3 modules) serves low-cost carriers. They are NOT walking distance - shuttle bus takes 10-15 minutes. Always check your terminal before arriving.

Tight Connection Times Minimum connection time varies by airline: Schengen-to-Schengen (60 min), Non-Schengen (90 min). However, summer months see frequent delays due to air traffic control. We recommend adding 30 minutes buffer.

Fast Train to City Center The R2 Nord train connects T2 to Barcelona center (Passeig de Gràcia, Sants) in 20-25 minutes. T1 has a free shuttle to T2 train station. Much faster than taxi during rush hour.
