Cheap Airline Tickets to Rome

Although there are two airports which serve Rome, the vast majority of international travelers will arrive in Italy's capital via the larger and busier of the two, so that is the one which will be discussed here. Should you be flying within Europe, however, you may want to look into using the city's secondary airport (at least to see if there are cheaper tickets or better schedules available). You can get information about airfare deals to Rome and also learn more about what to do there with this Rome travel guide.

Leonardo da Vinci International Airport (airport code FCO) is more commonly referred to by the name from which its three-letter airport code is taken - Fiumicino. It is Italy's biggest airport, and also its busiest. Milan's Malpensa is another major international gateway, but because Milan is significantly less popular as a tourist destination than Rome is, it only makes sense that Rome's big airport would come out on top. Fiumicino and Malpensa are both hubs for Alitalia, the Italian national airline, and the other airlines which serve both Fiumicino and Rome's second big airport are listed on this page (they are mixed together in this rather unhelpful way because the same company runs both airports). Flight tracking can be done from this page.

To find your way around, you may be able to make use of the interactive maps of Fiumicino on this page before you arrive, because they allow you to take virtual tours of the airport. Passenger services are listed on this page, and your ground transportation options (including bus, train, and taxi) are listed on the left-hand side of the passenger services directory. You can also rent a car from one of the companies listed here.

Ciampino Airport (airport code CIA) is Rome's second airport, and is popular with Europe's budget airlines - in fact, Ryanair uses Ciampino as a base.
