While the airport infrastructure and layout are well designed, the negative experience stemming from the Vueling staff made it the worst I have ever encountered.

problem with the board
i arrive to BCN from Porto and i had connection with the iasi (RO), the time to waiting was 10h , in the beginning the boards was showing the next flight will be at the gate A (that means terminal 1 ), i gone to terminal 1 and i asked at the info here is my flight. the lady said at the terminal 2 , gate M. Only after 2-3 h they change the board , to the right values .

The T1 and T2 terminals are very confusing, especially when some buses have signs on them referring to A1 and A2. Then, you also have T2B and T2C, just to make things even more confusing. I find it hard to believe that they could not find a better naming convention for that airport's terminals.
