Arrivals: Passengers arrive, on both domestic and international flights, on the ground floor, where there is a baggage reclaim hall: Hall 1, for passengers arriving from EU and Schengen countries; and Hall 2, for passengers arriving from outside the EU and non-Schengen countries.

I have always found the airport comfortable and easy to navigate and a good alternative to using Barcelona airport which is still only a 50 minute drive away.

Departures: Check-in and ticket sales is carried out on the ground floor, whilst boarding for both domestic and international flights is conducted on the first floor of the passenger terminal. The passenger-only area, on the first floor, has a departure lounge where you can find several shops, restaurants and cafeterias. This area is accessed through the security checkpoint. Check in is on the ground floor where there are 33 check-in desks and 15 boarding gates. You can check the weight of your luggage free of charge from desks 1 to 4.

Catering / Shopping: The passenger-only area, on the first floor, has a departure lounge where you can find several shops, restaurants and cafeterias.
