Most important tips

Know before you go

A compact traveler cheat sheet for timing, terminals, food, and disruption checks.

Timing

Check your terminal in November

Four November routes use the General Aviation Terminal; a free shuttle connects it.

Until 30 November 2026, flights to Casablanca, Dubai, Sharm el-Sheikh and Madrid leave from the new General Aviation Terminal, about 1,300 m from the Commercial Aviation Terminal. A free shuttle links the two every 20 minutes or so from 05:00 to 23:00. Check-in desks open 2 hours before departure.

Terminal

Small terminal, closed at night

Compact terminal, closed from 22:30 to 05:00.

The Commercial Aviation Terminal is small. Security is on the ground floor, and flights to the UK, Egypt and other non-Schengen countries go through passport control. The airport lists the terminal as closed from 22:30 to 05:00, so you can't wait inside overnight.

Food

One café, landside

One café in the check-in area; eat before security.

The airport lists Gran Caffè Costa d'Amalfi in the check-in area. It sells coffee, snacks, newspapers, tobacco and souvenirs. There is also a pharmacy in the check-in area and an ATM before security. HonestAirport could not confirm any food outlet after security.

Status

No lounge at Salerno

No lounge; Priority Pass doesn't cover Salerno.

The airport lists no lounge, and Priority Pass has none at Salerno. Airline status and lounge memberships get you nothing here, so use your lounge access at the other end.

Live conditions

Right now at QSR

Security waits and operational status from official feeds, where the airport publishes them.

Honest verdict

Who this airport works for

Best for

The quickest airport for the Amalfi Coast, Salerno, Paestum and Cilento
Short walks through a small terminal
Domestic flights to Milan, Turin, Genoa and Trieste

Watch out for

Terminal closed from 22:30 to 05:00
In November 2026 some flights use the General Aviation Terminal, about 1,300 m away (free shuttle)
Only one café, in the check-in area, and no lounge
Many international routes are summer-only

Terminal navigation guide

Terminal-change and gate-area notes pulled from the markdown guide.

From Terminals & Navigation

The Commercial Aviation Terminal, which opened in 2007, handles most flights. It is small, so it is a short walk from check-in to security and the gates.
The new General Aviation Terminal (2,000 m², opened 14 July 2026) is about 1,300 m away. Until 30 November 2026 it handles the Casablanca, Dubai, Sharm el-Sheikh and Madrid flights.
A free shuttle runs between the two terminals every 20 minutes or so, from 05:00 to 23:00, with stops outside each terminal.
Security screening is on the ground floor of the Commercial Aviation Terminal.
