Barcelona airport taxi transfers

I wait inside the arrivals hall with a sign showing your name — floor 0 at Terminal 1, opposite the baggage-reclaim exit at Terminal 2B. You do not need to find the taxi rank, join a queue or work out which exit you came through.

Waiting is free for 60 minutes from the moment your flight actually lands. I check the flight number, so a delay costs you nothing and there is no need to warn me.

If you would rather skip the arrivals hall entirely, I can meet you on the departures level instead. It is quieter and faster to drive away from.

For a departure I collect at the door at whatever time your flight needs, including the four in the morning starts. I would rather be ten minutes early than have you watch the clock.

As a rule of thumb, allow two hours before a Schengen departure and three for a long-haul one, plus the drive. Tell me your flight time and I will suggest a pick-up.

The official fare for your actual distance, the official airport supplement, all tolls and luggage for up to four passengers. Child seats and larger vehicles are added only if you ask for them, and are priced before you send anything.

A flat "airport to Barcelona" price does not reflect reality — the city is 15 km across. Your price is worked out from the driving distance to the address you actually give me.

They are 4 km apart and connected by a free shuttle bus that takes about ten minutes, so turning up at the wrong one costs real time. Book for the terminal your flight actually uses, and if you are unsure, send me the flight number instead — I will check it and confirm back.

Terminal 1 handles most long-haul and Vueling traffic; Terminal 2 handles most low-cost European flights, and splits into 2A, 2B and 2C along one long building. If your booking says T2 without a letter, meet me opposite the T2B baggage hall and I will guide you from there.
