Flights to Sardinia

Our guests are always asking us for help with finding the right flights to Sardinia so we thought we would put together this little guide to flights to the island for 2012.

For such a small island, Sardinia has three main international airports and these are:

Cagliari serving the whole South coast (Cagliari Elmas)
Olbia on the North East coast (Aeroporto Internazionale di Olbia Costa Smeralda)
Alghero on the North West coast (Alghero Fertila)


Please do make sure that you get the right airport for you; If you've booked accommodation in Cagliari for example and flights into Olbia, the 3.5 hours drive between the two ends of the island may come as a surprise and won't be the best start to a relaxing holiday.

From the UK, Sardinia is connected with direct flights by the following airlines:

Easyjet flies from London Stansted into Cagliari or into Olbia from Bristol or London Gatwick
British Airways flies from London Gatwick into Cagliari
Ryanair runs cheap flights from London Stansted to Alghero
Jet2 Connects Olbia airport with Edinburgh or Leeds Bradford
BMI fly into Alghero from East Midlands Airport
Thomson fly into Alghero from London Gatwick
Meridiana Fly fly from London Gatwick to Olbia


We've prepared a little overview below showing full details of the flights to Sardinia, which months the routes are open and the departure times to make it easy for you to find the flight that suits you best:

Please do be aware when booking flights though that most villas and other self-catering accommodation in Sardinia do run on a strictly Saturday to Saturday basis so look into all the options before committing to flights.

Most villas in Sardinia also offer check-in times after 3pm and check-out is generally at 10am which is also worth bearing in mind when booking your flights.

If you are looking to fly into Sardinia from somewhere other than the UK, please don't hesitate to contact us and we'll be happy to help you find more flight options.

Alternatively, you'll find information on ferries to Sardinia here.

Enjoy your trip!
