It leaves from terminal 2 only. From Terminal 1 take the free shuttle from arrivals level 0 to T2; Aena times it at 10 minutes and runs it every 5 to 10 minutes, 24 hours a day.

A T-casual, T-familiar or T-grup is valid on this train. The same card is refused at the airport metro stations, where you would be made to buy a EUR 5.90 Airport ticket to get out.

Several of you should buy one T-familiar: EUR 11.50, eight rides, one card, validated once per person. Against EUR 5.90 each on the metro that is the whole saving.

A single Rodalies ticket is sold at the station and is cheaper for one person; the price is not published, so it is not shown here.

Every train calls at Sants first, then Passeig de Gràcia, then El Clot-Aragó. Passeig de Gràcia is the stop for Plaça de Catalunya and the Eixample.

The last train is at 23:38 and the first at 05:40, every day. Between them only the Aerobús and the night buses run.

A1 and A2 are not interchangeable. The A1 serves Terminal 1 and the A2 Terminal 2; both end at Plaça de Catalunya. Check which terminal you are at before boarding to go back.

It runs 24 hours a day, every day. From T1: every 5 minutes 07:15–22:30, every 10 minutes early morning and late evening, every 20 minutes 01:05–05:35. From T2: every 10 minutes by day, every 20 between 23:00 and 05:35.

Nothing from the integrated fare system works on it: not a T-casual, not a T-dia, not a T-usual. Pay the operator, online, at the stop machines by card, or in cash on board with change given only up to EUR 20.

For one person it is the cheapest fully priced way to the center; from two people, one T-familiar on the train costs less than two Aerobús singles.

The operator's "35 minutes from start to finish" is its own figure for the whole route by road; Gran Via traffic can stretch it.
