For passengers arriving on international flights from within the Schengen area, the transfer process is exceptionally quick, often requiring only a few minutes to walk between gates. If you are arriving from a non-Schengen country (such as the UK or USA) and connecting to another European destination, you will need to clear passport control before proceeding to the departure area. A minimum connection time of 45 to 60 minutes is typically sufficient for single-ticket transfers, though travelers on separate bookings should allow at least two hours to account for baggage reclaim and re-clearing security.\n\nGround transportation to the Florence city center is dominated by the modern Tram Line T2, which provides a direct and economical link to Piazza dell'Unit\u00e0 near the Santa Maria Novella train station. Trams depart every five to ten minutes, with the journey taking approximately 20 minutes and costing only \u20ac1. 70. It is vital to validate your paper ticket in the yellow on-board machines to avoid heavy fines.\n\nOfficial taxis are also available at a fixed rate of approximately \u20ac28 to \u20ac32 depending on the day and time, with small surcharges for luggage. Please note that there are no luggage storage lockers inside the airport terminal; for long layovers, travelers should utilize the KiPoint storage at the main train station or private app-based storage services located throughout the city. Due to the airport's short runway and local wind patterns, flights are occasionally diverted to Pisa Airport (PSA); in such cases, a shuttle and train connection can reach Florence in about 60 to 90 minutes.", "country": "Italy", "flag_url": "https://flagcdn.com/w320/it.png", "flight_search_affiliate_link": "https://book.beatthatflight.com.au/?currency=EUR", "frequent_traveler_tip": [ "Runway constraints cause delays in strong winds; arrive early.", "Check your flight status before leaving for the airport.", "Allow extra time during peak travel periods at this airport.", "Keep important documents easily accessible at this airport.", "Download your airline's mobile app for updates at this airport." ], "global_map_link": "https://www.google.com/maps?q=Florence+Airport", "google_maps_reviews": { "rating": 0.0, "recent_reviews": [], "total_reviews": 0 }, "hotel_affiliate_link": "https://book.beatthatflight.com.au/?currency=EUR", "iataCode": "FLR", "icao": "LIRQ", "international": true, "last_modified": "June 2026", "last_updated": "2026-03-29", "latitude": 43.81, "layover_planner_info": "Tram T2 to city; cafes airside.", "longitude": 11.2051, "mct_domestic_to_domestic": 35, "mct_domestic_to_international": 70, "mct_interline": 110, "mct_international_to_domestic": 70, "mct_international_to_international": 85, "missed_connection_help": "Airline desks in departures.", "name": "Florence Airport, Peretola", "region": "Europe", "related_airports": [ { "code": "PSA", "name": "Pisa" }, { "code": "EBA", "name": "Marina di Campo Airport" }, { "code": "LCV", "name": "Lucca-Tassignano Airport" }, { "code": "SAY", "name": "Siena-Ampugnano Airport" } ], "terminal_info": "Florence Airport Peretola operates a single compact terminal building serving the Renaissance capital of Tuscany with connections to major European destinations, positioned just northwest of Florence's historic city center.
