Rome Flights

Rome, the eternal city, is overflowing with both modern excitements and ancient enchantments. Whether immersing yourself in history or enjoying one of the many local pastimes you will find that it is nearly impossible to do everything there is to do in this extraordinary location. Because of this cheap flights to Rome are easy to find, as so many tourists are willing to try the impossible task of soaking up the city.

Best time to go to Rome

Peak Season:

The months of June through August make up the peak season in Rome. Many locals go on holiday during these hot, dry months and visitors are left to explore the city on their own. Although it is always great to mingle with the fascinating citizens of this city, the quiet of this time period makes it easier for the adventurous traveller to visit some of the lesser known spots in relative peace.

Shoulder Season:

May and September are both part of the shoulder season in this city. As tourist crowds are either just beginning to gather or almost finished dispersing, this is a great time to book inexpensive flights. As the city becomes reasonably quiet during the shoulder season, you may want to take this time to visit some of the more tranquil attractions, such as the Galleria Borghese or Saint Peter's Basilica.

Off Season:

Although Rome sees a lull in tourism from October to April, the city is still abuzz with activity. This is especially true in April, when Easter celebrations and the Spring Festival are in full swing.

Rome Airport and transfer information

Leonardo da Vinci Airport (FCO)

Distance: 30.5km southwest to the centre of Rome

One of the most economical options for getting from the airport to the heart of the city is the train service, which is not only inexpensive but also quick, taking only 25 to 30 minutes. Taxis, buses and airport shuttles are good options; however taxis can be pricey, and the bus and shuttle services can be slow. An interesting alternative is to take advantage of the airport's carpool social network, which allows travellers to be matched up with other people who have similar travelling timetables and destinations.

How to survive the flight to Rome?
Wherever you’re jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you’re well organised. Check out these handy hints that will get your Rome holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First things first, pack in your passport, important documents, cash and medications. Next, you’ll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are always good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don’t have a Swiss Army knife lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
  • The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Rome?
Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Rome easy and painless. We’ve compiled some handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

  • Keep your travel documents and ID someplace easily accessible. They’re the first items you’ll be asked for by security.
  • Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • There’s a good chance you’ll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won’t be allowed on board.
