🏢 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
Peak summer crowds; allow extra time for security and passport control.
