How to prepare for your flight with Tirrenair: Practical guide

Travelling by plane can be a source of stress at times, especially if you don't feel well prepared. At Tirrenair, we do everything we can to make your flight experience as pleasant as possible. To ensure a smooth trip, good preparation is essential. Here is a practical guide to properly prepare your flight with Tirrenair and to fly safely to Ajaccio, Bastia, or Figari.

1. Flight booking and confirmation

The first step to a successful flight is to make sure your reservation is in order. When you book a flight with Tirrenair, whether online or through a travel agent, be sure to check all the information, including dates, times, and departure and arrival airports.

Practical advice : After booking, you will receive a confirmation email. Keep it and take the time to check that all the details are correct. If you notice an error, contact our customer service immediately to rectify the situation.

A few days before your departure, it is recommended that you check the status of your flight again. Last-minute changes may occur (weather conditions, time adjustments), and Tirrenair will inform you via email or text message.

2. Travel documents required

Travelling to Corsica requires certain essential documents, especially for check-in and boarding.

ID card or passport : Even for an internal flight in Corsica, you must have a valid identity document (national identity card or passport).
Electronic ticket : Keep a copy of your e-ticket on your smartphone or print it out for added security.
Boarding pass : You can print your boarding pass before arriving at the airport or download it directly to your smartphone.
Practical advice : Remember to check the expiration date of your documents before you travel to avoid any unpleasant surprises at the airport.

3. Arrival at the airport and check in

For a flight with Tirrenair, it is recommended to arrive at the airport at least 1 hour and 30 minutes before departure time for internal flights. This will allow you plenty of time to check in, clear security, and get to the boarding gate stress-free.

Check-in can be done online on our website, usually 24 hours prior to departure. Once at the airport, all you have to do is drop off your luggage in the hold and go through security checks.

Practical advice : If you are traveling on vacation or during special events in Corsica, allow a bit more time for check-in, as airports may be busier.

4. Planning your arrival

When you arrive at your destination, make sure you have planned how you are going to reach your hotel or next meeting point. Tirrenair serves the main airports on the island (Ajaccio, Bastia, Figari), and each of these airports is well served by taxi, car rental or shuttle services.

Practical advice : If you are planning to rent a car, it is best to book in advance to get the best deals and avoid delays at the airport.

5. Final preparations before boarding

Once at the airport, take advantage of the waiting time before boarding to relax. Eat a light meal, stay hydrated, and, if necessary, check out duty-free shops. Also, remember to prepare your headphones, books, or other distractions for the flight.

When boarding is announced, make sure you have all of your paperwork ready and get to the boarding gate on time.

6. Tips for a comfortable flight

To ensure a pleasant flight with Tirrenair, here are a few more tips:

Dress comfortably : Choose soft clothing and comfortable shoes for flights, even if they are short.
Hydrate yourself : The air in the cabins can be dry, do not hesitate to drink water before and during the flight.
Entertainment : Plan what to do, especially if you are traveling with children. Tirrenair also offers magazines and newspapers on board.
