T1 and T2 are separate terminal buildings. Use Aena’s free inter-terminal transport and allow margin beyond the ride itself.
Check whether you stay airside
Your airline and ticket structure determine whether baggage, security or border control is involved. A self-transfer usually needs more steps.
Do not use walking time from a map
The terminals are not a simple gate-to-gate walk. Use the signed airport transfer system.
Verify on travel day
Terminal assignments can change; confirm both flights before starting the transfer.
The free airport link is only one part of the connection
Aena provides free transport between T1 and T2, but a connecting passenger may still need to leave the secure area, reclaim baggage, check in again or repeat security depending on the itinerary. Confirm whether the airline treats the trip as a protected connection or self-transfer before deciding that the inter-terminal ride itself is the whole buffer.
Sources and verification
Time-sensitive airport, airline, visa, security and transport details should always be confirmed with the relevant official source before travel.
