My Air Berlin flight landed at Barcelona airport close to 930 am. Despite spending the previous night on the bench of Dusseldorf airport, i was more excited than fatigue for this is where my trip really starts! And it is this sense of euphoria that i feel will make my assessment of the airport unfair. After having hear stories of how dangerous airports can be, i had been busy reading my Lonely Planet book to make sure that i make a smooth exit out of the airport and so i was more busy trying to spot the tourist information counter than taking my time to absorb in the sights and sounds of Barcelona airport. Nevertheless, the number one thing that striked me about this airport is the whiteness of the walls admist the sunlight that was shining into the airport. The ceilings were high and the airport gave a very spacious feel. Haha i know its a bit out of point but actually i was quite engrossed in deciphering the messages that were broadcasted over the PA system. (Yup u could have probably imagined how big my eyes looked when i realised i am actually able to hear Spanish being spoken and i actually understood some of the announcements... )
One thing to mention about this airport is the lack of directions to the main metro station. I actually exited the airport and walked to dunno where in trying to find the metro station. (Well i did try to as for directions but their instructions were not excatly idiot proof...) Wel luckily, i was decisive enough to abandon my plan and hopped onto a bus that happened to stop near me and on top it displayed the sign "to city' =)
Airport rating : 3 stars
