If you arrive at the Cagliari airport, you have a few options:
Airport: https://www.sogaer.it/enCagliari Airport is quite small and is divided into two levels: the first floor for departures and the ground floor for arrivals. If your luggage is traveling directly from the U.S., you’ll need to pick it up on the international luggage belt, located at the bottom of the stairs, before entering the main baggage claim room. In this case, your luggage will be scanned through the X-ray machine one more time. On the ground floor, you’ll find a Tourist Information desk open 7 days a week from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM, as well as a bar, a mini-market, and an ATM. The taxi stand is right outside the main doors. Additionally, Cagliari Airport offers free WiFi with no time limits or extra charges. To connect, simply choose the 'WiFi Cagliari Airport' network and follow the instructions to register.
Taxi: www.radiotaxi-cagliari.it The cost of a taxi from the airport to the city center, Piazza Yenne, or the Villanova neighborhood is €18-20 for up to 3 people with carry-on luggage of 10kg. Additional fees may apply, depending on luggage, number of passengers, time of day, and destination.
