General Comments
Barcelona airport is a small airport compared to London airports, but this airport is easy to check in. There aren't many catering facilities, or things to do, so the time does pass slowly. Range of shops is very limited. No smoking signs are ignored, and airport staff do not enforce them. I recommend you take your own food.
Good connection with Areobus, which departs from each terminal every 10-15 mins, and takes you right to the centre of Barcelona. There is no metero line, however, and the train only takes you as far as Santes, no good for the tourist areas of Les Ramblas and Placa de Cataluna, which are where most of the hotels are. Use the Aerobus!!

Agree with overall description. Would add that if you need special assistance, or a porter to help with baggage, with small children, handicap etc then must allow for virtual invisibility of these services. People are very friendly and eventually will accomodate but these things are not organized and visible. Also, if you arrive by car, you will not be allowed to leave the car while you search for this assistance. Last, car rental services, while relatively conveniently located, are of substandard quality in the event of any problem. Overall, it's a nice airport which is 30 years out of date.
