Q: Is it possible to purchase the Aerobus Barcelona tickets online in advance?

A: You can buy the tickets in advance on Aerobus Barcelona’s official website. You can pay with a credit card (Visa and MasterCard are accepted) or via Paypal. It is suggested to check in which terminal your flight lands, in order to book the ticket for the right line (for additional information – Aerobus Barcelona – Difference between A1 and A2).

After you complete the booking, you will receive an electronic ticket in a PDF format via e-mail. It is not necessary to print it out since you can show the ticket on your smartphone or tablet to the driver or station staff in order to scan the QR code.

The electronic ticket and, implicitly, QR code are only accepted for your outgoing journey. For your return journey, you will need the physical ticket received from the driver during your first travel. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to keep this ticket in a safe place in order not to lose it (for additional information – Return Tickets for Aerobus Barcelona).

If you need the invoice, you have to be registered on Aerobus Barcelona’s website. After this, you can check the box I need the invoice. You will receive the document in a PDF format via e-mail.

Note that the validity of the tickets is influenced by the purchasing method. A ticket purchased through the online platform is valid for an entire year, while those purchased from the bus driver or vending machines are only accepted for an hour. In case of a round trip – the return tickets are valid for the following 15 days after the outgoing travel, regardless of the booking method (for additional information – Buying the Tickets for Aerobus Barcelona).

All included, it is not necessary to order the tickets for Aerobus in advance. Usually, it is not a problem to get a free seat, as the bus has a capacity for 42 travellers. If there is not enough room for you, you can wait for the next bus because this service operates on a frequent basis (for additional information – Operating Hours of Aerobus Barcelona).
