Cheap flights from Belfast to Rome

Summer, Christmas, New Year and school holidays push demand on this route, and October is when fares are usually lowest. Midweek departures can cost less than weekend ones, and booking early matters most for peak periods; for quieter months, flexible dates help. Rome is a year-round city break, so weekends and public holidays can be busy even outside summer.

Easyjet, Jet2, BA CityFlyer, British Airways, Emerald Airlines, Aer Lingus, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, TUI Airways and Qatar Airways all appear on this route. The list mixes low-cost and full-service carriers, and direct flights are available alongside connecting itineraries. What is included differs by fare: some tickets cover cabin and checked bags, seat selection or meals, while basic fares charge for those extras; connection times and baggage transfer rules also vary. Compare the total journey, not just the headline fare, especially on separate tickets.

Fiumicino is the larger airport and usually means longer walks, bigger queues and more transfer choices, while Ciampino is smaller and calmer. Both have public transport, taxis and car hire into central Rome, but the right option depends on your arrival time and luggage. Check which airport your flight uses before you plan the transfer, and allow extra time if you land late or hold separate tickets.
