We recommend at least 50 minutes for a comfortable connection at Peretola. The minimum connection time is 50 minutes for schengen flights and 75 minutes for non-schengen flights. Transit between terminals takes up to 10 minutes.

Schengen-to-Schengen: 50 min. Schengen-to-Non-Schengen: 60 min. Non-Schengen-to-Schengen: 60 min. Non-Schengen-to-Non-Schengen: 75 min. These are the shortest layovers airlines will sell at Peretola.

Peretola is a compact regional airport serving Florence with a single terminal building, making connections straightforward but dependent on flight frequency. Most connections involve ground transport to/from Florence city center rather than airside transfers, since FLR lacks significant hub operations. Peretola's single terminal requires only internal walking between gates and check-in areas, typically 5–10 minutes end-to-end. There is no airside transit system, train connection within the airport, or inter-terminal shuttle. Passengers connecting through FLR must exit, collect baggage, and re-check for most itineraries, as the airport does not handle true airside connections on any significant scale.

30 minutes remains below standard MCT for any connection category at FLR and leaves no margin for security delays or gate changes. See full 30 min guide →

45 minutes approaches but does not meet the 50-minute domestic Schengen MCT; viable only for very tight, pre-planned connections with checked baggage already through. See full 45 min guide →

60 minutes meets or slightly exceeds all standard MCT categories at FLR and offers comfortable margin for most connection scenarios. See full 1 hr guide →
