Free Airport Pick-up

We offer you a FREE airport pick-up/drop-off service from Barcelona (BCN) airport from Sunday to Sunday between 12:00pm and 2:00pm by one of our guides in an air conditioned MPV or minibus. Seat belts should be worn at all times for your safety whilst in the vehicles and you are advised you take out personal travel insurance. Any flights booked out of these times will not be eligible for our free service and it will be your responsibility to arrange transportation to us. The meeting place at Barcelona airport is at the statue of the black horse, inside terminal T2-B. If you arrive at terminal T1 you will need to catch the Aerobus to get to terminal T2-B. These buses run every 5 minutes and are a free service. You are then driven the two hour scenic journey to your destination – Mequinenza, taking a short break half way for refreshments.

Once there, you will be shown some of the town’s amenities and the surrounding area before being taken to your apartments where you can unpack and freshen up and prepare for your fishing trip. All flights booked for our free pickup service must be to Barcelona (BCN) Airport and arranged for convenient pickup times for our free airport pickup service. Arrival and departure times must be arranged with the consideration of our pickup times between 12:00pm – 2:00pm, Sunday to Sunday. For your return flight, please allow for travel time from Mequinenza to Barcelona approx 2 hours and either 1 or 2 hours check in time recommended by your chosen airline. We normally leave Mequinenza for the airport at 10:00am on Sunday morning. Flight costs will vary according to the time of the year and holiday periods.

CatMaster Tours can assist you in obtaining flights by giving you a contact number of a fully bonded ATOL holder who will be happy to arrange your flights for you to coincide with CatMaster Tours pickup times. Please note that we do not take payment for flights ourselves, however by ensuring that you are booking with an ATOL holder you can rest assured that your flights are financially protected. Alternatively, you can book your own flights via the internet or travel companies, but before you confirm your flight booking, please check with us that the times and dates are correct and still available to avoid complications later.
