We flew from Heathrow to Milan on BA to join Costa Fortuna at Savona. The coach trip took about 2.5 hours and when we arrived at Savona we waited a further 3 hours to board the ship. I vowed never to sail with Costa again. I hope you can manage to get on the Genoa flight. - Jan

Ours was BA to Milan and a couple of hours at least coach to Savona...on our return we were dropped off at airport and then told our flight was cancelled... so were left to our own devices to find alternative flights !!

Hi I can't answer your question exactly, but will outline my experieinces. Your flights will likely land in either Milan or Nice. Nice is actually a short transfer time to the ship. We have flown from our local airport Newcastle via Amsterdam to Milan with KLM (transfer time to Savona approx 2.5h) depending upon traffic conditions.
