The Trieste - Friuli Venezia Giulia Airport (TRS) is located some 40km north of Trieste near the town of Ronchi dei Legionari. The trip takes 30-40 minutes by car, and there are also frequent buses to Trieste and elsewhere in the region. Tickets can be bought from a 24-hour automated machine, or from the TurismoFVG office in the arrivals hall, which can also provide tourist info (including copies of this guide) and sells the FVG Card. The national carrier Alitalia operates the majority of flights, but in recent years there has also been a large increase in the presence of budget airlines, especially during the summer season.
