Flying to Turin is the easiest and fastest way to arrive in this incredible city. The first good news I can tell you is that Aeroporto di Torino Caselle aka Turin Airport is nice and not as messy and busy as other Italian airports. If you have traveled to Milan Malpensa and Orio Al Serio, or Rome Fiumicino you know how stressful those airports are.
Here is a practical guide with everything you need to know to search and book your flight to Turin, Italy. We cover all the popular airlines that fly to Turin Airport, how to find the cheapest flights to Turin, info about the airport, how to get from the airport to the city, and a few more tips.
How do I know so much about flying to Turin?
The answer is simple: I’m a Brazilian journalist who, after two trips to Turin, fell in love with the city and moved here. While living in Turin, I traveled to other European destinations and abroad, so I know a lot about getting in and out of Turin and its airport.
Now that you know a bit about me, let’s talk about how to travel to Turin by plane.
Turin International Airport: Aeroporto di Torino-Caselle (TRN)
TRN Turin Airport is the city’s primary airport. It’s located about 16 km (10 miles) north of the city center and serves domestic and international flights. The airport is small but efficient, making arrivals and departures hassle-free.
From my personal experience, I have never queued for security or immigration here. The only time the airport was busy and I had to wait was in March 2020, when the first cases of COVID-19 appeared. They were doing health checks on every passenger getting in and out of the airport, and at that moment were coming back home from a trip to Berlin, Germany. Apart from that, I have always had a great experience.

Don’t forget to hold it near the validators again once you reach your destination station to complete your journey/purchase.
2. Bus from Turin Airport to the city
Two bus services can take you from Turin Airport to the city center.
Arriva Italia is part of Turin’s public transportation and the journey takes approximately 50 minutes.
- Frequency: Daily. It runs every 15’/30′ alternating between direct and road. The direct bus stops only at the airport, Posta Susa, and Porta Nuova railway stations. Then the road bus stops throughout the way.
- Cost: 7.50 Euros one-way tickets (at the date we published this guide)
- Getting the ticket: you can buy it at the ticket machine at the airport arrival level; also at the tourist information center; or on board. Note that, on the bus, they will charge you an extra 1 Euro fee.
Another option is the Flibco Shuttle Bus. The journey takes about 25 minutes, but its drop-off location in Turin might not be so handy.
- Frequency: buses leave every 40 minutes. The first trip from the Airport to the city is at 4:45 am and the last is at 11h40 pm. In the opposite direction, the first trip is at 04:10 am, and the last is at 10:55 pm.

Booking a taxi in Turin
If you need to book a taxi for a specific time, I suggest calling Taxi Torino at +39 011 5730 or +39 011 5737. You can also use the apps Free Now or WeTaxi, don’t bother ordering a UBER, they are way too expensive in Turin, and there are not many cars available.
4. Car Rental at Turin Airport
If you plan to explore the Piedmont region or go skiing, renting a car at the airport is a great option. Major rental companies like Hertz, Avis, and Europcar have desks at the airport. We have a comprehensive guide on renting a car in Turin, have a read.

Flying to airports near Turin, Italy
If you can’t find a nonstop flight to Turin or the flight options are too limited, you might consider flying to nearby airports and taking a train or bus to Turin.
I have done that for a few long-haul flights that were cheaper flying from Milan Malpensa than from Turin Airport and everything worked fine.
The closest airports to Turin are:
- Milano Malpensa Airport (MXP) – 140 km from Turin (~1h30min by train)
- Milan Linate Airport (LIN) – 160 km from Turin (~2 hours by train)
- Bergamo Orio al Serio Airport (BGY) – 180 km from Turin (~2h30min by bus or train)
All these airports have train and/or bus connections to Turin, making them viable alternatives. Here is a guide to travel from Milan to Turin, including from the airports.
My recommendation: book your train or shuttle bus ticket days in advance and leave plenty of time to get from/to the airport. Traffic around Milan is insane, and your bus can get stuck in traffic, especially during rush hours. Plan at least 3 hours and a half for the journey plus the 2 or 3 hours you need to be in the airport before your flight time.
You can book your shuttle bus from Milan Airports to Turin here.
Tips for booking flights to Turin, Italy
I know we always want the fastest flight for the cheapest fares. However, Turin might not be the cheapest destination, especially if you are coming from far away. But there are a few things you can do to find cheap flights to Turin, or one that suits your budget and travel plan.
How to find the best flight deals to Turin
- Book in advance: flights to Turin can be expensive, especially during ski season (yes, you can ski near Turin in winter) and major events like Juventus FC matches.
- Compare prices: use Skyscanner or Google Flights to find the best deals. Sign up for price tracking and email alerts. Compare prices between airlines because a cheaper flight ticket might have tons of add-ons, such as luggage and seat selection, while a more expensive one will give you better perks without extra costs. Also, check the price for a one-way flight, you might discover better prices for flights arriving at one airport and leaving from another instead of a traditional round-trip ticket.
- Flexible travel dates: if you have flexibility you can compare ticket fares day by day and choose the cheapest price for your trip.
- Consider nearby airports: another alternative is booking your flight to another Italian city with a good flight price and then getting a train or bus to Turin. When booking in advance trains in Italy can be fairly cheap. Here is our guide to traveling to Turin by train. Keep in mind that Milan’s airports often have the cheapest round-trip flights.
- Check other departure options: the main airport of your city might not have flights to Turin at a fair price, but a nearby airport might have and you will add a small cost of a bus to/from that other airport.
- Hand luggage and checked baggage policies: budget airlines like Ryanair have strict carry-on rules and each carrier charges differently for baggage allowances, so it’s worth checking the fees.
