Arrival and departure airports: Pisa (PSA) - ideal, Firenze (FLR) - less ideal.

And just to keep things interesting, the powers that be have changed the name and code for the airport in Firenze. It is now called Aeroporto di Firenze-Peretola. Formerly known as Prince. Joking. It used to be called Amerigo Vespucci. Firenze also finally has a tram connection to the airport from the main station of Santa Maria Novella. Details here.
