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.

Your T-casual does not work here, nor does a T-familiar, T-grup or the EUR 2.90 single. Buy the EUR 5.90 Airport ticket at the gate instead. The train at Terminal 2 takes the card you already hold.

It does not go to the center. The line ends at Zona Universitària: change to L3 there for Catalunya and Passeig de Gràcia, to L5 at Collblanc for Diagonal and Sagrada Família, or to L1 at Torrassa. The change is included in the Airport ticket.

TMB's own page gives two figures for the ride, "only 30 minutes" and "32 minutes"; either way it is longer than the train to Sants, at more than twice the per-head cost of a T-familiar.

Every 7 minutes, serving both terminals directly — the one thing it does that the train does not.

The T-dia at EUR 12.00 includes one ride each way through the airport gates and unlimited travel for 24 hours, which beats two Airport tickets for anyone staying a day.
