Cheap flights from Bilbao to Rome

May is the cheapest month here, with dated fares shown for every month from October to September. Fares rise as summer school holidays and the Christmas period approach, while midweek flights are often priced lower than weekend flights. Book well ahead for peak dates, and compare a connecting itinerary with a nonstop before you commit.

Low-cost carriers on this route include Vueling Airlines, Wizz Air Malta, Wizz Air UK, Easyjet and Volotea, where the base fare is usually stripped back and bags, seats or airport check-in may be sold as extras. Full-service options such as Air Europa, Iberia, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and KLM Cityhopper more often bundle a checked bag and standard ticket changes. Portug is also listed among the carriers. Direct flights are available, but some itineraries connect through another airport before reaching Rome.

Before you land, decide how you will reach central Rome from whichever airport your ticket names: Ciampino and Fiumicino have separate transfer links and different public transport options. Fiumicino is the larger international gateway, while Ciampino is smaller and closer to the southern side of the city. Check which terminal you arrive at, how late transport runs, and whether your return leaves from the same airport.
