      Servizi 2025 shows 2024 security waits of 11′01″ in 90% of samples with a
      9′00″ 2025 target — Ryanair banks still swell the hall. Priority Lane is
      available for contracted airline passengers or buy a single-use pass for
      €12 at the Toscana Aeroporti / Customer Service ticket desk (children
      under 2 free with an adult ticket; non-refundable desk passes valid 3
      months). Carta / ENG guide advise arriving about 2.5 hours before

      flight info, press, step-free access — no showers advertised. Capacity and
      schedule can vary; early Ryanair banks before 05:00/08:00 may find the
      room still closed even if PP prints 05:00 — check the door board. VIP Club
      meet-and-assist (hostess/porter + lounge + ramp transfer) is a separate
      paid product via vip.psa@toscana-aeroporti.com.

# Pisa International Airport (Galileo Galilei) (PSA)
Pisa, Italy · Europe
Tuscany’s main LCC gateway with twin long runways, a five-minute PisaMover to Centrale, and one Priority Pass lounge — classic 100 ml security and Ryanair banks are the main friction.
## Airportist Score

**7.7 / 10**
- Comfort: 7.2
- Navigation: 8.1
- Food: 7.0
- Transport: 9.0
- Disruption resilience: 7.4

## At a glance

- Passengers: 5.98M (2025)
- Terminals: 1
- Typical security: 11 min
- On-time: 67%
- Disruption: normal

## Best for

- Ryanair / LCC travellers using Pisa as the Tuscan entry point
- Priority Pass holders using Galilei VIP after security
- Rail connections via Pisa Centrale after a €6.50 PisaMover hop
- Travellers who need a longer runway than Florence Peretola (FLR)

## Watch out for

- Classic 100 ml LAG rules (no published CT waiver) and busy Ryanair security banks
- PisaMover ends at midnight (01:00 in summer) — late arrivals need taxi
- Shared military airfield ops can complicate flows on exercise / cargo days
- Do not confuse with FLR — Florence is the short-runway full-service city airport
