Larnaca Airport guide: flights, transport, parking and delays
A guide to checking flights at Larnaca International Airport and travelling to Cyprus’s main cities and resorts.
Larnaca, Cyprus. Larnaca International Airport, also known as LCA, is Cyprus’s largest airport and the main arrival point for Larnaca, Nicosia, Limassol, Ayia Napa and Protaras.
Larnaca, Cyprus. The airport is about 5km south of Larnaca city centre, with the journey by road usually taking 10 to 15 minutes.
Flight information
Passengers and those collecting them should use the airport operator’s live arrivals and departures board, searching by flight number, airline or destination rather than relying only on scheduled times.
Airlines remain the authoritative source for check-in deadlines, cancellations and rebooking. Passengers should contact their airline if information on the airport board differs from that shown in an airline application.
Arrival and check-in times
Passengers should normally arrive two hours before a short-haul flight and three hours before a longer flight. Additional time may be needed during school holidays, peak summer weekends and periods of regional disruption.
Airline check-in and bag-drop deadlines take precedence. People collecting arriving passengers are advised to enter short-stay parking after the flight has landed, as passport control and baggage collection can add 30 to 60 minutes, or longer during busy periods, to the published arrival time.
Transport and parking
Travellers can compare buses, airport transfers, taxis and car hire when travelling from the airport to major destinations. The most suitable option depends on the destination, arrival time and number of passengers.
A shuttle is generally the least expensive option for one or two travellers heading to a major city or resort. Taxis and pre-booked transfers can become more competitive when costs are shared by several passengers.
The airport also provides parking options for passengers and those meeting arrivals.
Changing conditions
Prices, timetables, distances and journey times are approximate and may vary according to the precise destination, traffic and season. Travellers should check with the relevant operator before travelling, particularly as schedules can change between summer and winter.
