Voice of Travelers to Florence

Harriet from Switzerland

My name is Harriet and I'm from Geneva. I study at an art college in Florence and often travel between Florence and Geneva. I usually buy Swiss Airlines tickets to Florence. I choose Swiss because as well as getting a plane ticket for myself, I also need to buy a ticket for Zara, my cat. Budget airlines do not offer animal passage, so I go to Florence with our national airlines instead. I can take Zara with me on board and the staff is always very accomodating. Florence is a very busy city, which I can completely understand as the architecture is beautiful and there are many fantastic art galleries and museums.

Arnold from Austria

My name is Arnold and I'm from Vienna. I flew with Austrian Airlines. I bought my Florence air ticket at an Austrain Airlines office in Vienna. The lady who sold me my ticket, helped me to chose the right ticket option for me. She explained that Austrain Airlines is part of the Star Alliance and that I could start collecting miles with my ticket and what rewards I could expect through joining the program. The flight to Florence was comfortable. I was impressed with Austrian's modern planes. I went on a walk up big hill to Piazzale Michelangelo from where I could see the panorama of Florence and the impressive Duomo cathedral. I loved the many bridges that cross the River Arno, especially Ponte Vecchio.

Petr from the Netherlands

I'm Petr from Amsterdam. It was a last minute decision to buy an air ticket to visit Forence. I was going through a stressful time at my work and I really felt like I needed to get away for a little bit. I looked online and found out that there was an offer on flight tickets available from my home city to Pisa airport. I went ahead and booked the ticket for my weekend getaway there and then. I flew with KLM and the flight was very comfortable. I'm quite tall so I often find there's not enough leg room on planes, but the seats on the KLM plane were spacious and I had not trouble. I would buy a ticket with KLM again.
