Naples, Italy · Europe
Southern Italy’s busiest airport: ~13.3M passengers in 2025, a compact Terminal 1 with strong low-cost bases, €5 Alibus and fixed-fare taxis into Naples — tempered by classic 100 ml security, summer crowding, and a single lounge that closes at 21:00.

Most important tips
A compact traveler cheat sheet for timing, terminals, food, and disruption checks.
Alibus €5 ~15–35 min to station/port; metro rail still pending 2027.
ANM Alibus is the official airport shuttle. From Capodichino it stops at Piazza Garibaldi (Central Station), Immacolatella / Porta di Massa (inside the port), and Molo Angioino / Beverello (Stazione Marittima). ANM quotes ~15 minutes to Centrale and ~35 minutes to the port (traffic adds time in peaks). Single ticket €5.00; Ticket Unico Alibus €5.00 is also valid 90 minutes from first validation for Alibus plus other urban services — validate on boarding. Ordinary city passes / Artecard do not cover Alibus. Buy at authorized retailers, arrivals machines, UnicoCampania / Gesac channels, or on board when seats remain. Frequency up to every ~15 minutes (ANM). Metro Line 1 to Capodichino is not passenger-rail live yet — do not plan on it for 2026 travel.
Classic 100 ml rules; Fast Track €9 (05:00–20:00).
Naples still enforces classic EU cabin LAG rules: containers ≤100 ml in one resealable ~1 L transparent bag; laptops and large electronics usually out unless a lane says otherwise. Fast Track (preferred security channel) is €9 online via the Gesac shop or at the 1st-floor automatic desk before security; available daily 05:00–20:00 (after hours / extraordinary closures, ask Security staff). Under-2s free with a paying adult on the Gesac Fast Track product. Telepass Sempre customers can also generate a free Fast Track QR in the Telepass app for NAP (same 05:00–20:00 window). Arrive ~2 hours before Schengen leisure flights and closer to 2.5–3 hours in peak summer / holiday banks when low-cost bag-drop queues spike.
Sole lounge opposite C17; PP + €44 desk; max 3 hours; closes 21:00.
After security, follow signs toward the C gates / Duty Free spine; Pearl Lounge (airport VIP Lounge, operated with Menzies) sits on the 1st floor opposite Gate C17. Priority Pass lists daily hours 05:00–21:00 for international and domestic; amenities include snacks, soft drinks, beer / wine / spirits, Wi-Fi, flight screens, showers (often extra / subject to availability), and a business corner. Max stay 3 hours — overstay can be charged (traveler reports cite ~€6 per extra hour). Gesac sells walk-in access at the lounge desk for €44 until 31 Oct 2026 (subject to space); contact +39 345 3582525 / vip.servicesnaples@menziesaviation.com. Children under 3 free with an adult per PP. It gets crowded in summer — have a backup café plan.
Free airside fountain after security; otherwise buy sealed water.
Gesac’s Carta dei Servizi documents a free drinking fountain on the departures level after security for bottle refill. Bring an empty bottle through screening. Landside and airside have snack/drink vending plus café / restaurant options; sealed water is also sold in shops (prices usually higher than filling your own). If you are already deep in a distant gate pocket and the fountain is behind you, buy sealed water rather than backtracking into a boarding rush.
Only passenger lounge at NAP. Airside after security on the 1st floor opposite Gate C17. Snacks, soft and alcoholic drinks, Wi-Fi, flight info, business corner; showers when available (often paid). Strict 3-hour max stay with reported overstay fees. Crowds hard in peak season; closes 21:00 so useless for late departures.
