Practical tips
Before booking, compare the options shown on the page: a more expensive ticket only makes sense if it really saves you time. If your schedule is flexible, the bus is often the most sensible choice.
Read your e-ticket carefully: it shows the exact stop or bus station of departure. Don't rely on the city name alone, as the location can vary depending on the company and the date.
Barcelona has several possible arrival points. Check the arrival address on your ticket and plan ahead how to reach your accommodation by metro or on foot, especially if you arrive late.
The lowest fares go first, especially on weekends and during holidays. Book as soon as your dates are set, then keep your ticket on your phone so you can show it easily at boarding.
You are going from France to Spain: carry valid ID in your day bag or hand luggage, not in the hold. This avoids any stress in case of a check during the journey.
