It has three terminals, A, B and C, all within fairly easy walking distance from one another. Terminal B is for Spanish carriers and their partners, ie British Airways; Terminal C is for domestic flights while Terminal A is for all other flights. Low cost carriers operating to Barcelona include: Air Berlin, Monarch Airlines, Jet2.com, ClickAir (a discount subsidiary of Iberia), Vueling, WIZZ Air, easyJet, Ryanair (only to nearby Girona and Reus airports), Blue Air, flyGlobespan, Transavia among many others.The airport is about 10 km from the city center. Taxis will cost you €20-30. The RENFE C-10 suburban train will be cheaper and often faster. However, getting to the train means climbing down some flight of stairs, so if you are lugging a huge luggage, it might not be a good idea. Single tickets costs €2.20, but if you buy the T-10 ticket for €7.20 for ten trips, you can also use it for the ride. It is on sale at the vending machines. The third alternative is to take the Aerobus A1 to Barcelona. It stops between Terminal A and B and goes to Plaça Catalunya in the city. The journey takes 35 minutes and costs €4.25 one way.
