Hi all...

We'll be arriving in T1 and will want to buy tickets before taking the Metro (in T2). A couple of quick questions:

1. I see the tickets from the airport to the city cost 1€ more than a simple ticket. We're planning on getting a 10-pack of regular tickets. Do I also buy separate "special" tickets for the trip to the city? I assume so.

2. Last time we visited (2006) we walked from T1 to T2 - a fairly good walk (but not intolerable). Is the free shuttle bus easy to find? It looks like the blue line only goes in the correct (T1 to T2) direction.

3. We want to be able to easily stop at the Metro ticket booth. Last trip there was a "shop" where we bought them. My memory is bad, but I think it was in T2. Is that still the case? Will the shuttle let us off near it?

Any other tips are appreciated.

Note: My wife and I only bring 1 rolling carry-on each and one small over-the-shoulder (pocket book size)bag each...we've never had problems taking Metro/Tube in Madrid, London or Paris.
