Pisa is Tuscany's budget gateway — most people fly in for the Leaning Tower, but the airport flies out cheap too: €32 to Amman, €50 to Morocco, and a charter-driven spread of Cabo Verde and African routes few Italian cities can match.
Pisa International (PSA) is almost absurdly close to the city, and the PisaMover automated shuttle makes it effortless: a 5-minute ride to Pisa Centrale railway station for about €6.50 one-way, running frequently all day. From Pisa Centrale, Trenitalia trains reach Florence in about an hour, plus Lucca, Livorno and the wider Tuscan network — so Pisa airport is really a gateway to all of Tuscany, not just its own pretty centre. For most travellers, the PisaMover plus a regional train is the whole plan.
As a base, Pisa combines cheap Ryanair short-hauls with a genuinely unusual long-haul charter network — Neos and others reach North Africa, Cabo Verde and even the Indian Ocean from a mid-sized Tuscan airport.
The rock-bottom short-hauls
Pisa’s cheapest fares are remarkable. Amman at €32 is the headline — a long hop to Jordan for the price of a pizza dinner, an unusually cheap gateway to Petra and the Dead Sea — while Rabat (€50) and Tangier (€72) cover Morocco’s capital and northern gateway. These are the impulse routes, mostly Ryanair: cabin-only, but cheap enough that the bag fee barely dents the value. Amman in particular is a steal.
Cabo Verde and the Atlantic
Pisa’s quiet specialty is Cabo Verde, via Neos charters. Boa Vista (€251 with a bag), Mindelo (€275 with a bag) and the mainland gateway Dakar (€270 with a bag) reach the archipelago and Senegal — year-round-warm Atlantic escapes that cost far more from most of Europe, with luggage included. Istanbul (€299 with a bag) bridges to the great connecting hub. These are the routes that make Pisa more than a Tuscan day-trip airport.
The African long-haul ceiling
The furthest routes are genuinely surprising for Pisa. Mombasa (€669) reaches Kenya’s Swahili coast, Luanda (€883 with a bag) covers Angola, Douala (€955 with a bag) opens Cameroon, and the ceiling is Mauritius (€1,016 with a bag) — the Indian Ocean dream from Tuscany. These are charter-driven seasonal fares, not impulse buys, but each is a remarkable connection for an airport this size.
Bag fares: charters included, Ryanair bare
The pattern follows the carrier. The Cabo Verde routes (Boa Vista, Mindelo), Dakar, Istanbul and the African long-haul (Luanda, Douala, Mauritius) include a checked bag — these are largely Neos charters where luggage is standard. The cheap short-hauls (Amman, Rabat, Tangier) and Mombasa are shown as base fares, likely cabin-only Ryanair-style tickets. Add a bag at booking if you need one on those.
