Cheap flights from Alicante to Rome

Fares are usually lowest in November; outside that month, prices tend to rise around school holidays, Christmas and Rome's summer, so flexible dates help. Midweek departures are worth checking alongside weekend ones, and booking earlier usually gives more choice of airports and times. If your plans are fixed, compare the full month before paying rather than relying on one day.

The mix runs from low-cost brands such as Ryanair, Wizz Air Malta, Malta Air, Volotea, Vueling Airlines and Easyjet to full-service carriers such as Iberia, Air Europa, Air Serbia and Air Europa express, so baggage, seats and flexibility are not included on the same terms. Direct flights are available, but the fare you pick may still differ in what it covers, especially on hand luggage and checked bags. Read the fare rules for your chosen carrier before you pay, because the cheapest headline price is not always the cheapest total.

Fiumicino is Rome's larger airport and Ciampino its smaller one; a bigger airport usually means more walking and more transfer options, while a smaller one can mean a quicker exit but fewer onward links. Both sit outside the city centre, so plan your train, bus or taxi connection before you land and allow time for baggage reclaim. Check which terminal and airport your flight uses, because the two Rome airports are not interchangeable once you have booked.
