Being one of the main airports in the area, it offers plenty of connections to other Italian cities, European capitals and international destinations. This includes regular, year-around options, as well as seasonal opportunities for more exotic destinations. The most unique places you can reach from Bologna airport are the in-season destinations of Ural Airlines: Rostov-on-Don, Samara and Ekaterinburg. On the other hand, for those who like well-walked paths, they can visit all the main capitals and famous cities in Europe, not to mention all the main cities of Southern Italy.

At the ground floor of the airport you can find the check-in and luggage area, the tourist information desk, a pharmacy, ticket vendors and the majority of bars and restaurant, accessible after check-in and security control. On the first floor, one can enjoy even more restaurants and duty free area shops, as well as the Marconi Business VIP lounge for those who want to take advantage of the opportunity to connect work and pleasure while waiting for their flight.

Sadly, the airport does not offer a unlimited Wi-Fi connection for the passengers, except for the conference area and VIP lounge, which means you will be on the hunt for free Wi-Fi, offered by the airport‘s bars, restaurants and shops.

    If you have booked a shared transfer, the driver cannot wait for passengers who are late, out of consideration for the other passengers. GoOpti aims to start every transfer at the time stated in the transfer notification. If you have booked a private transfer and your arrival is delayed because of another carrier (e.g. an airline), the driver will do their best to wait for you for up to one hour.

    If you have the Absolutely No Worries package and are notified of a flight change more than 48 hours before your scheduled transfer, we will arrange a free replacement transfer for you, provided you let us know in time. In this case, please write to us at [email protected].

    Regardless of the type of transfer, please let us know about any delay as soon as you learn of it by calling the emergency number you received in the SMS and email transfer notification. This way we can check the options for carrying out your transfer in good time.
