Florence Peretola Airport in a nutshell
This small Tuscan airport, situated in the northern part of Florence (in the Peretola district), is primarily used for regional flights within a two-hour flight radius and may also be known as Amerigo Vespucci Airport.
Due to its short runway, only aircraft with a capacity of around 120 passengers can fly to Florence Airport.
Most flights to Florence can be booked via volotea.com or vueling.com. These airlines are complemented by major European carriers transporting passengers from Florence to their hubs, where connecting flights continue to destinations around the world.

Florence Airport has a single small terminal serving all flights. It is very easy to find your way around, and it is only about 70 metres from the entrance to the terminal to the aircraft.
Queues at security take a maximum of 15 minutes during the morning peak departure times and 5–10 minutes for the rest of the day.
More flights head to the larger Pisa PSA Airport, 100 km away.

Does anyone have any recent experience in the morning rush hour? I'm wondering if it's realistic to make the 6:15am departure when the tram arrives at the airport at 5:25am, I only have a guidebook. Thanks
Realistic, but the risk is quite high. In Florence, I've experienced a line at security for about 30 minutes.
