Can I get a direct flight to Florence Airport? No airlines currently offer direct flights between United States and Italy. Most routes have one or more stops.

In 2026, there are still no direct, nonstop flights from any city in the United States to Florence, Italy (FLR). This is primarily due to the physical limitations of the Amerigo Vespucci Airport in Florence; its runway is too short to accommodate the large, wide-body aircraft required for transatlantic travel. Travelers typically reach Florence by flying into major European hubs like Paris, Frankfurt, or Rome and taking a short connecting flight or a high-speed train. While many airlines like Delta, United, and American have added new 2026 routes to Italian cities like Naples, Palermo, and Bari, Florence remains a destination that requires at least one stop. For a high-fidelity arrival experience, many travelers choose to fly into Rome Fiumicino and take the "High-Fidelity" Frecciarossa train, which reaches the heart of Florence in just about 90 minutes, often proving faster and more reliable than a flight connection.
