Build about **2–2.5 hours** for peak non-Schengen departures; quieter Schengen troughs are gentler. Aena contact hours for the airport are published as **05:00–24:00**. summary: >- Peak summer Saturdays are when REU feels smaller than its annual count — arrive earlier than the resort transfer brochure suggests. category: timing - label: Layout title: One linked terminal — Schengen vs non-Schengen is the fork detail: >- Landside check-in sits in the linked arrivals / check-in / departures complex Aena completed by joining the three buildings in **2008**, with the boarding area opened in **2010**. After security, Schengen and non-Schengen flows split toward different gate rooms — UK and other non-Schengen flights still need passport / EES time. There is no second passenger terminal to confuse with Barcelona-El Prat (**BCN**). summary: >- Compact single-terminal campus: the failure mode is underestimating non-Schengen border time, not picking the wrong building. category: terminal - label: Food title: Named airside directory is short but real — or eat before security detail: >- Aena’s shops-and-restaurants directory currently names **Buy Bye Duty Free**, **Costa Daurada Duty Free**, **Exploring the World**, **Farine**, **La Pausa**, **Lavazza** and **The Market**. That is workable grab-and-go for a leisure bank, not a full meal reset — eat in Reus / Salou / your resort when the board is solid UK metal. There is **no** Priority Pass or Aena VIP lounge food product here. summary: >- Functional leisure-airport F&B with a short named directory — plan a real meal before security on stacked holiday mornings. category: food - label: Live checks title: Confirm REU — not BCN — before you book the coach detail: >- Holiday sites still market Reus as a “Barcelona” or Costa Daurada alternate. El Prat is a different airport and a different ground plan; Aena’s own taxi guide quotes about **€200** toward Barcelona-El Prat. Check Aena FIDS and your airline app before leaving the hotel, and make sure the ticket says **REU**, not **BCN**. summary: >- The classic mistake is treating REU like a BCN city-airport hop — budget the BusPlana / Hispano / taxi clock and verify the IATA code. category: status lounges: [] waterOptions: - kind: refill name: Aena drinking fountains in the passenger terminal zone: airside summary: >- Aena’s other-services page states Reus has drinking water fountains distributed through different parts of the airport on **Floor 0** of the terminal — bring an empty bottle through security and refill instead of defaulting to retail. location: Signed fountain points on Floor 0 of the passenger terminal terminal: Main Terminal isBestValue: true - kind: refill name: Fountain hardware near Floor 0 toilet / rest blocks zone: airside summary: >- As at other Aena leisure airports, fountain hardware is commonly paired with WC and comfort recesses — scan for the drinking-water pictogram before you buy a bottle. location: Floor 0 terminal toilet / rest-area recesses terminal: Main Terminal - kind: purchase name: Duty Free / café bottled water zone: airside price: ~€2–€3 for 500ml summary: >- Buy Bye / Costa Daurada Duty Free and café bottles remain the expensive backup when fountains are crowded or fiddly — refill first whenever the map shows a fountain. location: Airside retail after security toward the boarding zone terminal: Main Terminal airportistScore: 6.7 slug: reu region: Europe --- > Markdown for [/airports/reu](/airports/reu).
