Help! I need cheapest airfare Paris-Florence!

Hi, all,
I am still planning that anniversary trip to Paris (4nt), Florence (2nt), Venice (3nt). I need to find cheap airfare from Paris to Florence so we don't waste our precious time on the train. I did go to easyjet.com and they were the cheapest, but the only flight goes to Pisa, and arrives at 8:30. Since this is our first time doing this, I'm a bit nervous about transferring Pisa to Florence in the evening hours, then locating our hotel at the end of the trip.
Am I right to be concerned? Has anyone done this?
What I'd really like is another cheap website to find a direct flight...can anyone help me? Thanks!

I think the transport is very easy, although I haven't done it. Read at the EasyJet site - most people on the flight will no doubt be doing the same. I think you take a bus from the PSA airport to central Florence, and then it would be easy to take a taxi (or maybe even walk) to your hotel.

Nikki, Thanks for the tip. It linked me to easyJet, which is the cheapest by far. Have you ever flown that airline? My husband wonders if we'll be getting seats inside the plane...

I've flown EasyJet several times, and yes you do get seats inside the plane, and it's comparable in comfort to Alaska Airlines (except you have to pay for food and water, but just bring a bottle of water onboard).

Read all the information on the EasyJet site itself which should answer most of your questions. B-737 aircarft are used; six-across seating (3+3); no frills (I would say more like Southwest than any other airline).

Check-in closes <b> promptly </b> 30 minutes prior to departure (<b> forget about </b> trying the &quot;woman in tears&quot; number to get on anyway); the earlier you check in the better your seat selection.
