Turin Caselle is a middle-size airport, but pleasant and easy for the traveller.

There are fingers in front of the terminal, but Ryanair is usually parked on the side apron and passengers go by bus to/from the terminal.
When going out of the baggage retrieval hall, you'll find a tourism information desk at the left, with plenty of infos available, and helpful people.

To the city center, there are
- SADEM buses, who stop is just in front of the exit doors. They go to the two main railway stations : Porta Suza and Porta Nuova, with intermediate stops. Timetables on the airport website. Tickets on sale on the right when out of the baggage retrieval hall.
- GTT trains : in front of the exit door, cross the street, a subway leads you to the train station; that train go to the "Dora" GTT station (about 20 minutes - every half hour); a bus to the center will be waiting in the court of the station.
Tickets at the "tabacchi" shop on the left of the exit door. You can buy a "trenibus" ticket, that is train + bus, tram, metro ticket valid 70 minutes from the first validation (validation on the platform, don't forget it, and then on the bus).

landside, plenty of room and of check-in desks. A mezzanine with bar and food - and, at the back, a good bookshop.

There are air bridges, not for Ryanair use : passengers are bussed to the aircraft, usually on the side apron.
