You should arrive at the airport at least 90 minutes before departure, but check with your airline to be sure. If you are taking Iberia's Puente Aereo service to Barcelona then you will need to head to Terminal 4.

Vueling also operates out of Terminal 4 whereas Air Europa flies out of Terminal 2. Keep in mind that Terminal 4 is not connected to the other airport terminals and if you want to get from Terminal 1, 2, or 3 to Terminal 4 you will need to take a free shuttle bus.
