Get between Barcelona and El Prat Airport

El Prat is reached by Metro L9 Sud, Rodalies R2 Nord from Sants, Passeig de Gràcia and El Clot-Aragó, TMB bus 46 from Plaça Espanya, night buses, and the Aerobús from Plaça Catalunya.

Why it matters
Which ticket works matters: some integrated passes are not valid on the airport Metro stations, and Aerobús needs its own ticket.
