 Poster: A snowHead
|
Ryanair have a flight that gets into Milan Bergamo at 10.05 from Glasgow Prestwick. The terravision bus leaves Milan Bergamo airport at 10.35 to go to Selva val Gardena.
Now I know that airlines generally have the arrival times slightly later than they usually are, and also that Ryanair have a very quick turnaround time.
Would this be too tight by the time I collect my luggage and go through passport control?
Thanks

Is there another bus you can get as this may be too tight

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Do you have to book the bus or do you just get on it? In which case no problem if you do miss it but if you have to book in advance what about finding out if they have a left luggage and go into Milan for lunch and a walk round?

I'd say too tight.
I have a proven record of missing transfers, and I usually allow loads more time than that.

You'll need to Register first of course.

jb1970, if the flight's on time you might catch that bus if you knew exactly where to go and there wasn't a big immigration queue. But only if you were travelling without checked baggage. Otherwise, almost certainly not. Linds' suggestion is a good one.

The terms and conditions say that, if I miss that coach, I can get onto the next one.
Its a shame really about the flights as the earlier coach would get me into Selva at 14.35 whereas the later coach would get me in at 23.30!

jb1970, if it's wheels down at 10:05 it'll be 10:25 before you reach the the arrivals exit

jb1970, how far is it? Maybe best to hire a car. I don't know that airport; in Geneva you can be on the street within 10 minutes of touch down (4 minutes in the case of Chambery). But only with no baggage.

I've made the train station in Geneva airport twice in less than half an hour from plane landing with cases and skis so find out where to get the bus and be prepared to run for it as soon as you get your case.

pam w, I've been to Bergamo twice. It is very quick if you don't have to pick up baggage, which we didnt have to. We just took hand luggage
Very short walk to the bus stops from immigration. Queues at immigration were pretty quick unlike at other Italian places such as Turin.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

I have discounted Milan as a possible destination for getting to the slopes for this very reason - my flights did not dovetail with the bus schedule
It really does seem a bit tight for time though and no 'slack' at all !

There is a good chance the bus would not leave on time.

You know it makes sense.

I flew Ryanair into Lamezia & wanted to catch a Eurostar train that departed half an hour after landing. I decided that it couldn't be done & booked the next train 2 hours later.
We actually managed to get bags, go through immigration & get a taxi to the station all in time to change tickets & board the earlier train.
So it can be done, just don't rely on it.

When we flew to Bergamo with Ryanair last September, it took us longer than that just to get through passport control. There were two flights arrived at the same time, but no proper queuing system.
