AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Peretola handles few true airside connections; assume you must collect baggage and pass through security again between flights.
Allow extra time to navigate the small terminal's limited signage and occasional congestion during peak morning and midday hours.
Ground transport from/to Florence city center takes 15–30 minutes by bus or taxi, so plan accordingly if your connection involves an external stop.
The terminal has basic food and retail options; arriving early provides more choice and reduces stress.
In case of missed connection, proceed directly to the airline desk in the terminal; rebooking options are often limited due to low frequency.
