Terminal T1 hosts 9 airlines. You'll find 2 lounges here.
All flights at Turin use the same T1 security and gates
Every Alitalia, British Airways, Ryanair, Lufthansa, Air France, Vueling, KLM, easyJet, and Iberia departure runs through the single Turin Airport Passenger Terminal, T1. Check-in desks and bag drop sit on the ground floor, with one shared security area feeding into a central departures level. Schengen and non‑Schengen gates split only after passport control on the upper level, but it all lives in the same compact building, so you walk minutes, not quarters of an hour.
Layout: one building, short walking times
T1 stacks functions vertically: arrivals and check-in on level 0, departures and gates on level 1. The Schengen departure hall sits directly after security, while non‑Schengen gates sit behind a separate passport control line that can add 10–15 minutes at busy times. With everything under one roof, it’s realistic to go from curb to gate in about 25–35 minutes at off‑peak times, assuming you already have a boarding pass.
Lounges: Piemonte Lounge and Sala Riservata Sagat
The Piemonte Lounge sits airside in T1, on the departures level near the Schengen gates, and usually opens several hours before the first Alitalia and major European departures. Access often comes via business‑class tickets on carriers like Lufthansa or Air France, or via common lounge programs; check if your card lists “Piemonte Lounge TRN” explicitly. Expect standard Italian snacks, coffee machines, and self‑serve drinks rather than full hot meals.
Sala Riservata Sagat for airline and card guests
The Sala Riservata Sagat is another lounge option on the same departures level in T1, again airside after security. Some frequent flyer elites on airlines such as British Airways and KLM, plus select credit card holders, route here instead of Piemonte. Seating skews toward armchairs and café tables, with basic cold food and espresso available during core bank times for morning and late‑afternoon flights. If you fly Ryanair or easyJet without status, entry usually needs a paid pass.
Food and shopping: basic, so plan around it
Official listings don’t surface specific restaurant or shop names inside T1, and regulars often mention relying on simple café counters and bar service for a panino or espresso before Schengen flights. Prices at Italian airports tend to run higher than city cafés by a couple of euros, so expect to pay around €3 for a cappuccino and €5–7 for a sandwich. With no flagship duty‑free or brand list confirmed, assume standard tobacco, liquor, and souvenir options only.
Connections, timing, and one last tip
Because all airlines share the single T1 security zone, the real variable at Turin is time of day: morning departures between 06:00 and 08:30 often queue hardest, while mid‑day and late‑evening banks thin out. Build a 60‑minute buffer for Schengen flights and closer to 75–90 minutes for non‑Schengen departures that add passport control. One simple move that helps: check in online for your Ryanair, easyJet, or Vueling flight before reaching the airport, then head straight to security in T1 if you have only a cabin bag.
