There are shops for last minute gifts like toys, cosmetics or fashion and a luggage depository even allows short-term visitors to leave some of their luggage behind for a day to hop across to main land Italy for a day trip to Rome, Venice or Milan. Since trekking is particularly popular on Sardinia, it is not a bad idea to leave the heavy hiking boots behind, when departing on a flight to other Italian destinations for a day or two.

The town of Olbia is not far from the airport and passengers departing from Olbia will be charged around EUR 15.00 for a taxi journey to the airport. Located on the north-east coast of Sardinia, the pleasant and happily situated town overlooks the Mediterranean Sea and the little island of Tavolara. Sardinia's climate is always mild, even in winter, and Olbia Airport departures will probably have to pack warm clothes when travelling to Milan in the north of Italy. Even in November Sardinia's waters are still warm enough for bathing, but the best seasons to visit are undoubtedly spring and autumn.

Olbia Airport departures, staying in resorts along the Sardinian costs or on some of the small islands located just offshore, should ensure they know the connecting times for the ferry operators Saremar and Enermar, buses and trains to take them back to the airport.

The best way to get about on Sardinia is by hire car. The are many car rental companies that operate out of Olbia airport, where the rental car should be returned to on the day of departure. Not all car rental companies have out of office hours’ drop off points or drop boxes for keys. Passengers with a hire car should ensure they know where and how to return their hire car prior to the flight.

Trains and buses connect from all major towns on Sardinia to the airport and ARST buses (Azienda Regionale Sarda Transporti) connect the towns and villages also. The main bus pick up and drop off points are located in town and village centers, where ARST usually has a bus station. Tickets to the airport can be purchased at the station, at tobacconists, in bars and at newspaper stands near the bus stations.
