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.

Only two coaches a day at weekends, three on weekdays, the last at 16:45: there is nothing direct to Girona in the evening or at night.

It stops at Terminal 1 first and at Terminal 2 C about ten minutes later; from Terminal 2 C the ride is 110 minutes.

This is the through coach to Girona and Figueres, not a shuttle: it calls in Barcelona on the way.

Since April 2025 the operator has run line 602 on a provisional timetable for works at Sagrera, with no end date published. Check the departure with Sagalés before you travel.

Buying online does not reserve a seat: the operator's own conditions let you board any coach. On board it is cash only and nothing bigger than a EUR 20 note.
