The airport bus
According to Aena, a bus line links the airport with PortAventura, Salou and Cambrils, and its departure times are usually set to coincide with flight arrivals. It is the simplest public option for most holidaymakers. Timetables and fares are published by the operator; check them for your date, as they change with the season.
There is no direct link between the airport and the Camp de Tarragona high-speed station: Aena points to bus 50 into Reus and a change there.
Families and luggage
- Holiday flights often land in waves: the bus can fill up when several flights arrive together.
- Children who need a car seat by law should travel in one in a car; see travelling with children and car seats.
- Staying in Salou but visiting Barcelona? See PortAventura from Barcelona and Tarragona for the trip north.
- Flying from Reus to Barcelona instead? See Reus airport to Barcelona.
A transfer to your door
A car waiting at arrivals takes you straight to your hotel or apartment in Salou, Cambrils or La Pineda, or to the PortAventura hotels, without waiting for the bus to fill. QuickPickups, which publishes this guide, sells private transfers from Reus airport at a fixed price agreed when you book; its booking box is marked on this page.
