Florence is served by two usable airports. Florence Peretola (FLR) is very close to the city at just 6 kilometres north-west, with a 15 to 20 minute coach transfer via the SP32, but its short runway restricts it mainly to narrow-body aircraft on Italian domestic and a limited number of European routes. For groups with more extensive flight options, Pisa Galileo Galilei Airport (PSA) is 90 kilometres west of Florence, around 55 to 70 minutes by coach via the A11 Firenze-Pisa motorway, and handles a much wider range of airlines including Ryanair, easyJet, British Airways, and Vueling. A third option for some groups is Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (BLQ), 115 kilometres north-east, approximately 75 to 90 minutes by coach.
Because most international and low-cost flights serving Florence actually land at Pisa, group coach transfers from PSA to the city and from PSA directly to Tuscany villa or agriturismo accommodation are among the most common bookings in the region. The 90-kilometre A11 motorway run is well established and the journey time is predictable outside the summer peak.
FLR is one of Europe's most central city airports by distance, at just 6 kilometres north-west of Santa Maria Novella railway station. Its short runway (1,755 metres) limits operations to narrow-body aircraft such as the ATR-72, the Embraer E-series, and the A319/A320 family; wide-body long-haul aircraft cannot operate here. Despite this limitation, FLR is a useful option for groups on Italian domestic flights from Rome, Milan, or Naples, and some European charter operators. Coach access from FLR is via the SP32 towards Porta al Prato; transfer time to the Duomo or Santa Croce area is 15 to 20 minutes.
PSA is 90 kilometres west of Florence via the A11 Firenze-Pisa motorway, a consistent and well-signed motorway route. Transfer time from PSA to Florence city centre is 55 to 70 minutes in normal conditions; on busy summer Saturdays allow 75 to 90 minutes. The airport handles Ryanair, easyJet, British Airways, Vueling, and a range of charter and seasonal operators; it is the most practical airport for groups arriving from the UK, Ireland, and northern Europe. Coach access at PSA is from the main terminal forecourt. For groups whose tour begins at a Tuscan estate or agriturismo, a direct airport-to-villa transfer from PSA without entering Florence is often more efficient.
A significant proportion of Florence airport transfer bookings continue from the city to Tuscan destinations: Chianti wine country is 30 to 45 minutes south of Florence via the SR222 (the Chiantigiana). Siena is 80 kilometres south, approximately 75 minutes. San Gimignano is 50 kilometres south-west, around 50 minutes. For groups staying at villa or agriturismo accommodation in Chianti or the Crete Senesi, a direct Pisa Airport to Tuscany transfer is the most efficient route, skirting Florence entirely via the A1. We arrange these combined airport-and-onward itinerary transfers as a single booking.
As a guide, a minibus (up to 19 seats) for a Florence airport transfer runs around 90 to 170 EUR per single journey or day hire, a midi-coach (around 35 seats) around 150 to 280 EUR, and a full-size coach (49 to 55 seats) around 220 to 400 EUR. FLR transfers are at the lower end due to the short distance. Pisa PSA transfers reflect the 90km motorway journey. Tuscany villa and winery onward transfers are priced on route.
