🏢 Terminal Information

Orio al Serio International Airport (BGY), also known as Bergamo Airport, serves the city of Bergamo and is a major low-cost carrier hub for the greater Milan area in Italy. It efficiently handles a significant volume of international passenger traffic, connecting to numerous European destinations via airlines like Ryanair, Wizz Air, and easyJet. The airport operates from a single, modern terminal building that has undergone expansions to enhance passenger comfort and efficiency. Its layout features integrated check-in, security, and departure areas, facilitating a smooth flow for arrivals and departures.\n\nSecurity procedures at BGY adhere to strict European Union and Schengen Area standards. Passengers can expect efficient processing through security checkpoints, which include baggage screening and personal checks. For flights within the Schengen Area, no passport control is required, while Non-Schengen international flights undergo passport control. Due to the high volume of low-cost carrier traffic, particularly during peak hours, it is advisable to arrive with ample time for check-in and security. Boarding is typically facilitated via jet bridges or by bus transfer to aircraft on the apron.\n\nAmenities within the terminal include a wide range of shops, from duty-free to fashion outlets, and diverse dining options, including cafes, fast-food chains, and restaurants serving Italian and international cuisine. Several lounges provide comfortable spaces for eligible passengers. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the terminal. For ground transportation, frequent bus links connect the airport to both Milan Centrale Station and Bergamo city center, with tickets often purchasable directly at the airport. Car rental agencies are also located on-site, offering easy access to the Lombardy region and beyond.

🏢 Terminal Information

Alghero–Fertilia Airport (AHO) serves northwest Sardinia from a single terminal that handles both Schengen and non‑Schengen traffic. Landside, the departures hall collects airline check‑in counters and self‑service kiosks; after security, passengers enter an airside concourse with gates for domestic/Schengen flights and a controlled area for non‑Schengen services. Arrivals feed to baggage claim and the public exit on the lower level.\n\nWalking distances are modest. From curb or parking to check‑in is typically 2–4 minutes. From security to the nearest gates takes around 3–5 minutes; to the farthest stands, 6–8 minutes. There are no inter‑terminal transfers or people‑movers. Signage is clear in Italian and English, and wayfinding distinguishes Schengen/non‑Schengen flows airside.\n\nSecurity screening is centralized at the entry to departures, with peak‑season waits usually 10–25 minutes; non‑Schengen departures complete exit passport control after security. For international arrivals from outside Schengen, passport control precedes baggage claim, with customs inspections on a selective basis at the exit. Families and passengers needing assistance can request priority or dedicated lanes when available.\n\nAmenities include cafes and bars serving Sardinian specialties, grab‑and‑go options, convenience retail, souvenir shops, car‑rental desks, ATMs, and prayer/quiet spaces. A small lounge may operate seasonally for eligible passengers. Free Wi‑Fi is available, though performance can vary during summer peaks. Transport links include the ARST bus to Alghero and Sassari, taxis at the forecourt, and rental‑car facilities adjacent to the terminal.\n\nAccessibility provisions include step‑free routes, lifts, and accessible restrooms; assistance for passengers with reduced mobility (PRM) can be booked in advance with the airport/airline. Family facilities include baby‑changing rooms and family restrooms near main restroom banks; soft‑play areas may be seasonal, so plan to bring children’s activities for peak‑season waits.

🔄 Connection Tips
