The only reason there wasn't a long wait is that they let everyone in, and it instantly turns into the Hunger Games inside. I saw multiple pairs of travelers forced to sit apart because there was simply no space. They crammed people in like sardines. The tiny selection of food was awful, and the coffee was so bad I actually had to throw it away, and I don't even have high standards when it comes to coffee. Thank God for Priority Pass, because I can't imagine anyone willingly paying for access to this place.

Despite how small the airport in Florence is, they have a lounge! I was very thankful to be able to…read moreaccess it via Priority Pass. If you are flying business/first class or have status, you may also access this lounge for free. They didn't have many choices for hot food. But they did have coffee and some snacks. I remember having some iced tea in a can. They have mostly seats. Where there are tables, they are small. It was a good resting place with free wifi. The one complaint I have is there is only one bathroom stall per gender.

The international airport of Pisa, Italy, is very close to the central train station and the…read moreLeaning tower of Piza (part of the Square of Miracles area). There were a lot of affordable hotels near the train station (which is within walking distance to the Square) so figured it would be an easy walk for our flight to London. It ended up being easier to just take a taxi, with a flat rate of 10,7€. We didn't need to check bags, so headed for security. It took us about 45 minutes to get through security (standard x-ray and luggage checks). A common thing about European airports and train stations is that they don't announce the gate of your departure until at most 60 minutes before scheduled. This was the case for this as well, though experienced travelers knew it would be beyond Immigration control. Sure enough we were told Gate 23, and we went through passport control to leave the EU (just a visual check and stamp from an officer). There is a common waiting area for all international flights, and not much available in terms of food. Since we don't have status with British Airways, figured it might be rough finding overhead space (plus our bags are the US regulations which are technically a couple cm over the length limit). But nobody made a big deal of it (and we made sure the each of us had only two carry-ons plus our coats). We were able to find space before our seats in row 22 (though one of our bags we had to fit sideways since the older Airbus planes don't have the longest bins). We took off about 30 minutes late, and had a uneventful 105 minute flight to Heathrow. The tickets were about 55£ one-way per passenger, which was quite a bit cheaper than the trains we took to get to Italy.

It doesn't…read morehave the name Masaccio Lounge on the outside, so we actually walked past it b/c it had a diff. name on the outside. It had frosted glass sliding doors but then we walked too far and i was like nah, let me go ask in there if they know where it's at. I went in and the ladies said I had found it :) So just know it's the lounge w/the frosted glass sliding doors, and it's also the only lounge at the airport. It was pretty empty when we arrived around 7AM. It had coffee, tea, and an assortment of pastries, lots of beverages (Schwepps, Coke, etc.) , cereals, yogurts. I wish they offered fresh fruit like oranges, apples, or bananas. enough seating and TVs. Restrooms were inside the lounge so that was nice we didn't have to exit. They were also clean.

This lounge is pretty small, just like the rest of the airport, so I didn't expect much. I was…read morethere around breakfast so I don't know what they have for food during the afternoon or dinner time, but around 10 am, they had a decent selection of cookies, an apricot cake cut in squares, and some focaccia bread. They had a decent selection of packaged snacks (crackers, etc). They have 2 coffee machines, tea, and packaged sandwiches in a refrigerator. Nothing special about this place but it's fine for a drink or a snack. They have a lot of plugs to charge your devices which is nice, and I thought there was enough seating. Nothing fancy here - pretty basic lounge but given the other food selection in Terminal A, they at least have a good variety of snacks to choose from and little cookies/pastries if you have a sweet tooth.

I enjoyed the shops and happy I got a sandwich because I missed this place Allá Venicio walking in…read moreFlorence. The sandwiches were amazing. I shared one but customs took my 2nd one w the mortella. The plane seats are so small and crowded there was no way I could pull out my giant sandwich and start eating it on the plane.

When planning my trip to Italy I had decided that with what little time I had (just one week), I…read morewanted to visit Florence and Rome. I decided to visit Florence first, mostly because there are no direct flights from NY to FLR and I wanted to get the longer/layover trip out of the way first. After a quick pit stop in AMS, I finally reached my destination in FLR. After landing, I could definitely see why there are no direct flights from the US (maybe?) here - FLR is a pretty small airport. Because our flight was short, we actually boarded and exited the plane on the tarmac and after a short bus ride were shuffled to baggage claim. Everything was really efficient - I didn't interact with many staff members but the bags came quickly. In terms of aesthetics, FLR seems kinda dated/tired - but if you can look past that it has all the amenities that make it a good airport. Clear signs, speedy service, and a rail just outside arrivals that leads you to the city center. Overall, nothing outstanding about FLR from my perspective but also nothing negative - it got me out of the plane and to my destination quickly which I all I can really ask for.

There were so many different types of people in here, it feels like I'm in the village which was awesome! Too bad I didn't know enough Italian to start a conversation :P. Honestly the atmosphere was so loud, I might have been a little tipsy before, but I don't recall hearing any tunes. They have a limited selection of bar food, the sandwiches are surprisingly delicious ridiculously filling and the cheese plate is a must (it comes with honey). Space is limited and I don't believe they take reservations so once you see a table open up you just have to swoon in like a hawk and stake your property haha. If you enjoy craft beer you will not be disappointed. The food is the bomb diggity. All in all high recommendations :)

Their red beer, Valdarossa, is particularly good. Lots of seating available at big wooden tables. Small selection of food consisting of wraps and sandwiches.
