Florence Peretola Airport terminals

Terminals are the sectors or different buildings in airports through which air passengers can transfer between ground transportation and the places for boarding or disembarking from the plane. It is essential to confirm the terminal before getting to the airport when you depart or have a connection to another flight, due to the fact that the terminals in bigger airports can be a long distance from each other and travellers frequently require extra time to get to the necessary one. Florence Airport has 2 Terminals.

Terminal 2 – Departures Terminal
