The Carta dei Servizi 2025 measured 8′09″ wait in 90% of security samples (2024) with a 6′30″ 2025 target — peaks still swell when several narrowbodies bank together. A Priority Lane exists for contracted airline passengers and can be purchased at the Alisud ticket office (landside, 1F, typically 04:30–20:00) — Toscana Aeroporti does not publish a fixed walk-up price on the Carta, so ask Alisud rather than assuming a Fast Track kiosk. Present ~2 hours before departure (Carta guidance); the terminal itself opens at 04:00. Masterplan / new-runway works are long-term — do not expect jet bridges or a longer runway on a 2026 itinerary. summary: >- Classic 100 ml LAGs; Priority Lane via airline contract or Alisud desk; arrive ~2 h early. category: terminal - label: Lounge title: 'Sole airside VIP Club — PP / LoungeKey, buy at Alisud or Giunti' detail: >- VIP Club Lounge (still often called Sala Masaccio) sits airside on the first floor after security and duty free.

Children under 4 free on Priority Pass. Third-party day-pass sellers often quote roughly €30–€40; treat desk / Giunti as the live price. No second lounge and no reliable landside club — once you clear security this is the only paid calm zone. summary: >- One airside VIP Club 05:00–21:00; PP/LoungeKey + Alisud/Giunti day entry; capacity limits. category: status - label: Water & Wi-Fi title: Free refill points + Airport-Free-Wifi (12 h) detail: >- Toscana Aeroporti promotes Assaeroporti’s Refill & Fly programme with free drinking-water refill points landside and airside — follow terminal signage; traveler reports commonly cite a fountain before security and another airside near Gate 3.
