Barcelona Airport arrivals: how to read the board

The arrivals board above lists the flights landing at Barcelona-El Prat today, with the scheduled time, the estimated or actual landing time and the status of each flight. It updates continuously. Barcelona is the second-largest airport in Spain and the home of Vueling; from Britain and Ireland, flights arrive from London Gatwick, London Heathrow, Manchester, Dublin and a dozen other cities, and from the United States from New York, Boston and Chicago.

Check the terminal before you meet someone: Vueling, Iberia, British Airways and most full-service airlines arrive at Terminal 1, Ryanair, easyJet and Wizz Air Malta at Terminal 2, several kilometers away; a free shuttle bus links them. For a quick pick-up, use the Express car park at the terminal: the first ten minutes are free, with a two-hour maximum. Allow half an hour between landing and the hall for Schengen flights, longer for flights from Britain and the United States with passport control. The metro L9 Sud serves both terminals, the Aerobus runs to Plaça de Catalunya, the Rodalies trains leave from Terminal 2, and taxis wait at both terminals.
