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.

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.

I can stand there and keep drinking espresso, cappuccino and macchiato... But what makes this Lounge special is their Fast Lane access through Security Control! At reception, you would be given a Fast Lane ticket. During certain hours, they even have a direct access through Security without leaving the Lounge. Free Wi-Fi access with no password needed. Faster than the free Wi-Fi provided by BLQ.

They have these portable phone (usb) chargers u can carry and charge ur phone anywhere in the lounge, no need to be restricted by having to seat near an outlet to charge ur phone! Approved by Anita!

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.

However, when we checked our luggage with Air France they kept repeating with that suave European accent, "Just go to the business lounge." "Huh, what about the Maginot line at security?" "You don't have to go to line. You go through security in business lounge." "So I just wave at the hundreds of people waiting in line?" "Si, Si, Si." Yup, I went to the business lounge, had some food and drink, used the fancy toilet, and waltzed through security. I didn't get it, but I take to this kind of elitism easily. It was a wonderful airport experience, and I felt like a celebrity. This is the way to fly.

No!! Not here, the group assignment on your ticket is of no concern. And then you find out why - everyone rushes to the line and then you find out you're not actually boarding a plane but being taken by bus all around the outside of the airport . Do you leave after the bus is full? No! They stuff you in like a sardine and then you stand for 30 minutes before being taken to the plane. Then everyone bales off and it's like a gladiator fight to reach the stairs up to the plane. No wonder Italy is a haven for pickpockets (don't get me started on the buses or the train stations) with everyone shoving and crunching all of the time. I hate to say it, but I hated the bigger cities in Italy.
