Ideal for those who plan on the fly or have changes to their itinerary.

Purchase at airport ticket offices and machines

If you prefer to purchase your ticket upon arrival, you can also do so at Barcelona Airport:

Aerobus ticket offices
  • They are located near the Aerobus stops in both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2.
  • Customer service staff can assist you if you have any questions.
Vending machines
  • Available in the boarding and departure areas.
  • They accept card payments and are quick to use.

Although it is convenient to buy at the airport, we recommend buying online if you can, especially during peak season or with delayed flights, to secure your seat without having to queue.

Purchase from authorised agencies and partners

You can also purchase Aerobús tickets through some travel agencies or partner platforms., either as part of a package or separately. Always ensure that it is a authorised partner to avoid errors or invalid banknotes.

How to use your Aerobús ticket

Once you have purchased your ticket:

  • Show it to the driver or validator from your mobile phone.
  • If you printed it, present the QR code on paper.
  • There is no need to validate your ticket at additional machines; the ticket is valid for direct boarding.

It’s that simple! No hassle with strict timetables: the Aerobus runs frequently between the airport and the city centre.

Tips for purchasing your ticket
  • Purchase in advance if travelling at weekends or during peak season.
  • If you do not have a mobile phone, print your ticket before travelling.
  • Save the QR code in your email or gallery for quick access.
  • Check the route (one way or round trip) before paying.
