Q: During my holiday in Barcelona I would like to use Aerobus - where and how can I buy a ticket?

A: You can order the tickets for Aerobus Barcelona in advance through their online platform, or once you arrive to Barcelona at the bus stop, directly from the driver or by using a ticket vending machine (for additional information – Online Tickets for Aerobus Barcelona and Ordering the tickets for Aerobus Barcelona in advance).

When ordering your tickets on the company’s website, you can pay with a credit card (Visa and MasterCard are accepted) or via Paypal.

You can also purchase the tickets at the bus stop (for additional information – Stations of Aerobus Barcelona and Where can I catch Aerobus Barcelona?) or directly from the driver. If you choose one of these options, you are required to pay in cash. It is advised to pay the exact amount or try not to exceed it significantly. It is also recommended to bring banknotes with a value less than 20€ because, in case of a higher fee, it is possible to not get the change back.

It is also possible to use the ticket vending machines, however not all of the stations are equipped with one. Furthermore, the machines could be temporarily out of order due to technical problems.

The ticket vending machines are available in Catalan, Spanish (Castellano), English, French, and German. You can only pay with a credit card (Visa and MasterCard).

You can buy a one-way ticket (5,90€) or a round-trip ticket (10,20€). Naturally, round-trip tickets are more profitable (for additional information – Return Tickets for Aerobus Barcelona).

It is possible to ask for an invoice. If you buy the ticket online, you have to be registered on Aerobus Barcelona’s website. After this, check the box I need the invoice. You will receive the document in a PDF format via email. Otherwise, you can request the invoice by writing an e-mail to customer service. You are required to scan your ticket.

Tips and Recommendations

• The validity of the tickets is influenced by their type (one way or round trip) and the purchasing method (for additional information – Online Tickets for Aerobus Barcelona, Ordering the tickets for Aerobus Barcelona in advance and Return Tickets for Aerobus Barcelona).
• If you have purchased the round trip ticket you should keep your return ticket until the end of your journey and not throw it away.
• The Integrated fare system available in Barcelona does not include Aerobus. This is why tickets belonging to this system, such as T-10, T-Mes, T-50/30, T-Trimestre, T-Jove, T-Familiar, T-12, T-Dia, T-Month, T-Youth, T-Quarter, or T-Day; Hola BCN; etc are not accepted (for additional information – Public Transportation in Barcelona and Aerobus or Public Bus).
• You cannot travel on other means of transportation, such as trains, metro or public buses, using the Aerobus ticket.
• Aerobus is not covered by Barcelona Card or Barcelona Pass (for additional information – Barcelona Pass for Aerobus Barcelona and Barcelona Card and the Aerobus).
