Can I make a 1 hour connection at BCN on an international flight?
1 hour is below the 65-minute international MCT at Barcelona. You may need to rush and could miss your connection. T1 and T2 are connected only by a free shuttle bus that runs every 10-15 minutes and takes about 10-15 minutes each way, plus walking and waiting time on both ends. Because the terminals are landside-separated, any transfer between them means exiting and re-clearing security, and Schengen/non-Schengen boundaries within T1 add another screening layer for many itineraries.
What happens if I miss my connection at BCN?
If you miss a connection, head to your airline's transfer desk or ticket counter in the terminal you land in (Vueling and Iberia have dedicated help desks in T1); low-cost carriers in T2 often require rebooking directly at their check-in counters or via their app/call center since dedicated transfer desks are limited.
