This time around I noticed video games you can play, there was a kids playground inside, fun am sure for the kiddos & moms hoping to keep the kids from running around. Going through security was quick & easy, you can move around easily as sings are clear & easy to follow for such a busy airport it really runs well, nice & clean & at least everyone we interacted with with nice & friendly.

One easy improvement would be clear delineation of where you need to go with better signage and better stanchion placement. The customs agent keep repeating the same message to each passenger.

The terminals are spacious, clean, and filled with plenty of shops, cafés, and restaurants to enjoy while waiting for your flight.

For my British Airways flight they would not allow you to check in any earlier than 2 1/2 hours before the flight which is problematic on two fronts. First the port of Barcelona is a major hub for Cruises (that is why we were catching a flight) so arriving first thing with luggage in hand is a typical practice for passengers - so it is baffling that they would not let you access the departure lounge amenities any earlier (at best it's a poor business decision). Secondly the arrivals and check in areas are devoid of any form of said amenities (if you discount a sandwich vending machine and an ATM) and there is minimal seating and only sporadic WiFi connection available to boot. However all of this would have been a mild irritation at the end of a vacation had it not been for the completely unhelpful & rude check-in staff. When they patrolled the check-in line to demand travelers not on the next flight to leave the line I asked if there was anywhere we could go to wait to which the staff member waved a dismissive hand and grumbled "somewhere in the airport). I asked when should I return to the line she said 12:30 (it was 10:50). Given the line was moving at a snails pace we rejoined the line at 11:50, after I returned to the line it took another hour to reach the front of the line (I did get to watch one of the check-in staff rudely argue with a young mother over charging her to check her stroller. The check-in clerk at the desk we were lined up stepped out from behind the desk to announce that you can only check-in 2 1/2 hours before your flight. Following a quick exchange where I attempted to explain we'd been told to come back at 12:30, the Check-in decided it was appropriate to talk to me like a toddler and use her fingers to count back from my flight time of 4:20 and then in a raised voice, as she turned away, told us to leave (we were already in the process of gathering up our luggage).

My second time I got here very early and security was a breeze. I do like that they are checking to make us safe, as opposed to making sure we have no shampoo. I found the wait comfortable, and I was able to have my very limited luggage plastic wrapped while I waited. I was able to get one more nice espresso. You do have to pay attention to the shifting check in teams, the airlines share and you have to pay attention when your airline steps in and takes over. You may need to take a bus shuttle from the departure gate to your plane.

I previously reviewed that hotel but my Yelp review and photos have vanished. I'd forgotten its one of those places where the plane parks up hundreds of yards from the terminal building so it's a bit of a walk pulling cases just to get to the terminal itself. Despite being a small place it took quite a while to get through passport control so free movement doesn't really exist for Europeans within Europe. It was also quite a wait for the luggage to appear Inside the arrival part the terminal looks pretty clean, bright, modern and all rather pleasing. Now a different reality bites on the way out as once through a reasonably polite, efficient, security set up at departures you effectively go into a dank, grey, pretty crummy waiting area that bears no resemblance to the arrivals area. Here you can look forward to poor & uncomfortable seating and if this isn't bad enough one can queue up to indulge in fairly poor overpriced food & drinks. Thankfully our flights out were on time as I like to spend the least amount of time here as possible.
