๐ข Terminal Information
Vigo-Peinador Airport features a modern single terminal building that efficiently serves the Galicia region. The compact terminal layout ensures walking distances of just 2-3 minutes between check-in, security, and gates, making it particularly passenger-friendly for connections. The terminal offers panoramic views of the Galician countryside and features regional artwork celebrating local culture. Security screening is typically quick outside peak summer and holiday periods, though fog-related delays are common during winter months due to the airport's location near the Atlantic coast. The terminal includes duty-free shopping focused on Galician wines and local products, several cafes serving regional cuisine including pulpo (octopus) specialties, and comfortable seating areas with charging stations. Ground transportation is well-organized with regular bus services to Vigo city center (20 minutes), taxi ranks with fixed pricing, and rental car facilities. During summer months, additional charter flights to beach destinations increase passenger volumes, so allow extra time for security and check-in. The airport's single runway and terminal design make it an ideal hub for exploring both coastal Rรญas Baixas and inland Galician attractions.

๐ข Terminal Information
Barcelona-El Prat Airport (BCN) is a major international gateway serving Barcelona, the vibrant capital of Catalonia, Spain. It stands as one of Europe's busiest airports and is a primary hub for Vueling Airlines. The airport operates with two main terminal buildings, Terminal 1 (T1) and Terminal 2 (T2), which are efficiently connected by a complimentary shuttle bus service. T1 is the larger and newer facility, handling the majority of flights, including those of major international and full-service carriers, while T2 predominantly serves low-cost airlines. Both terminals are modern and well-equipped to handle high passenger volumes.\n\nSecurity and immigration procedures at BCN adhere to strict European Union and Schengen Area standards. Passengers can expect efficient processing through security checkpoints, though it is advisable to allow ample time, especially during peak travel periods, as queues can form. Passport control is required for all passengers traveling to or from non-Schengen destinations. Transfers between T1 and T2 require landside movement and re-screening at the destination terminal. The airport utilizes a combination of jet bridges and bus transfers to aircraft on the apron, depending on the gate assignment, ensuring smooth operations.\n\nAmenities within BCN are extensive and cater to a diverse range of traveler needs. Both terminals boast a wide selection of duty-free shops, fashion boutiques, and local Spanish and Catalan product stores. Dining options are plentiful and varied, ranging from international fast-food chains to cafes, tapas bars, and sit-down restaurants offering local cuisine. Numerous lounges, including airline-specific and pay-per-use facilities, provide comfortable waiting areas. Excellent public transport connections, such as the Aerobรบs express service, metro, and train, offer quick and convenient access to Barcelona city center and its various attractions.
