* Due to construction work at the security checkpoint at Barcelona Airport, which is expected to continue until Easter, some priority security entrances have been temporarily relocated. The family entrance is now located within the general security screening area, in a designated priority lane. The Fast Track entrance and the entrance for passengers requiring assistance have been moved to the adjacent corridor, just a few metres from their usual location.
