If you’re landing at Barcelona El Prat Airport (BCN) and have a long layover or land before your check-in time, you need a way to store your luggage to explore Barcelona freely. This guide has all the details about your options for Barcelona airport luggage storage, including luggage lockers and LUGGit’s pick-up and delivery service.

Does Barcelona Airport Have Luggage Lockers?

Yes, Barcelona El Prat Airport has official, manned luggage storage facilities in both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. This service is operated by the Excess Baggage Company and offers storage for luggage of several sizes. Unlike self-service lockers, every bag must pass an X-ray screening before being accepted. 


While these lockers are a reliable option for short-term transit, they’re not the most convenient if you’re moving between terminals or heading to the city.

LUGGit: The Best Alternative to Barcelona Airport Lockers

If you want a more flexible option than traditional Barcelona airport lockers, LUGGit offers a luggage storage and delivery service for travelers.


Instead of searching for lockers and returning to the airport later, a LUGGit Keeper meets you directly at your terminal, collects your luggage, and delivers it wherever you need in Barcelona (whether that’s your hotel, an Airbnb, another terminal, or even the cruise port).

Why Travellers Choose LUGGit

  • No detours to a locker - you can land, hand over your bags, and head straight to an activity or sightseeing.
  • Storage for items of any size - unlike lockers, which have limited space, LUGGit stores bulky equipment like golf clubs, strollers, or bicycles.
  • Safety and tracking - Every bag is sealed with a unique security seal, insured, and handled by trained professionals. You can also track your luggage during pick-up and delivery through the app.
  • Flexible scheduling - If your flight is delayed or your plans change, LUGGit’s support team can help adjust your booking quickly.

Using LUGGit is easy and only takes a couple of minutes:


  1. Book online: Use the LUGGit app (Android and iOS) or the website to select your pickup and delivery times and locations.
  2. Meet your Keeper: Your Keeper will meet you at the agreed meeting point in your terminal. Before the service, you’ll receive their name, contact details, and vehicle information.
  3. Hand over your luggage: Each bag is sealed with a tamper-proof security tag and safely stored.
  4. Enjoy Barcelona: You’re free to explore the city without carrying luggage. Your Keeper will deliver your bags exactly where and when you requested.

Official Barcelona Airport Lockers Locations and Hours

If you prefer traditional Barcelona airport lockers, the official luggage storage service (“Consigna”) is available in both terminals:

Terminal 1 Luggage Storage

Located on Floor 0, in the Intermodal Lobby (La Plaça). This is the area where taxis and buses arrive.

Hours: Open 24/7.

Terminal 2 Luggage Storage

Located on Floor 0 of Terminal 2B (arrivals), specifically in the Check-in Lobby.

Hours: 6 AM to 10 PM.


Keep in mind that you can't book the airport’s luggage lockers in advance, so availability may be limited during peak times.

Barcelona Airport Luggage Storage Rates (2026)

The airport luggage storage charges per item (rather than per locker). For 2026, the standard rates for a suitcase are:

  • 0-2 hours: 10€
  • Up to 24 hours: 17€
  • Oversized items: Prices start at 18€


Because pricing is per item, storing multiple suitcases for a full day (or more) can become expensive, which is why some travelers choose alternative services like LUGGit that offer pickup and delivery instead of airport lockers.
