Location

Ancona – AOI

• Didn’t find your best flight on Pescara? Don’t worry, we have plenty of options!
• Although it’s 150km from Pescara, Ancona Airport | Marche Airport it’s only a 1/1h and 30m train ride from Pescara!
• Ancona, like Pescara, it’s a Summer-time airport, meaning that most of the flights to and from Ancona are available from May to October. This airport is mainly served with EasyJet, RyanAir and Aeroitalia.
• Ancona features many destinations, manly Munich, Wien, Düsseldorf, Paris, Krakow and London!
• From Ancona to Pescara you can catch the Bus to Ancona Central Railway station for 5€ and then catch any train going to Pescara! (on the timetables is “Pescara” or “Pescara C.le)”*
• Alternatively, you can catch the train from Ancona airport, it has a Railway station but it’s not that served, we reccomend the bus because it’s in connection with every flight at AOI.

Ancona Flights

Rome – FCO or CIA

• Wait… Rome it’s like far from Pescara and quite a strange option to put in this list?
• Well… Pratically no! Because Pescara and Rome are only 2h of travel time!
• Without a doubt, Rome has all the flights you can dream of, from Fiumicino Airport or from Ciampino Airport!
• All the busses in Rome depart from Roma Tiburtina Bus Terminal or from Fiumicino Airport
• The main operators from Roma to Pescara are: Itabus,Flixbus and Dicarlo Bus giving it nearly a hourly service from 4 to 22!

Rimini – RMI

• Honorable mention for Rimini | San Marino Airport!
• Manly taking all the remaing flights from Ancona, it has many destinations around europe.
• We don’t recommend to take a flight to and from here but choose Ancona or Rome instead, but this is still a considerable option.
• Located in the city center of Rimini with a quick and short bus ride you can arrive to Rimini central railway station and catch a direct high-speed train to Pescara! While booking in advance can be really cheap. The travel time is just 2h and 30m

Perugia – PEG

• Another Honorable mention for Perugia | Umbria Airport!
• It’s treated like a backup airport for Ancona and Rimini, not a lot of flights depart from here
• We decided to put in here because, with resonable planning before, it’s a fesable option if a flight that interest you departs from here.
• As far as we know, the only bus operator to and from Perugia is Flixbus with a travel time of 3h and 30m.

• The main railway station in Pescara is “Pescara Centrale” (“Pescara C.le” in timetables)

• As you may have read upper here in this page, we are in another city slightly north of Pescara, called Montesilvano
