Cheap flights from Busan to Rome

The weeks around January are the natural place to start, because late December and early February often sit just above the lowest fares while January itself is the cheapest month on this route. From there, compare school-holiday weeks, Christmas and New Year, and summer dates in Italy, since those periods usually lift prices; midweek departures can sometimes help, but check the calendar rather than assuming. If you must travel in December or July, book earlier and keep your dates flexible by a day or two.

Every itinerary on this route connects, because no carrier flies nonstop between Busan and Rome, so each ticket adds at least one transfer and a longer total journey. The airlines listed include Shanghai Airlines, China Eastern Airlines, Hong Kong Express Airways, Air China, Singapore Airlines, Air Busan, Korean Air, China Airlines, Philippine Airlines and Eva Air; some sell through fares and others may require separate tickets, and the difference shows up in baggage, seat selection and connection protection. Check the operating carrier, the connection airport and minimum connection time before paying, especially if the fare is split across two bookings.

You may land at either Fiumicino or Ciampino: Fiumicino is Rome's main international airport and sits well outside the centre to the southwest, while Ciampino is closer to the city and handles a smaller mix of flights. From Fiumicino, the usual options are train, bus or taxi; from Ciampino, airport buses connect with metro and rail links, and taxis are also available. Allow extra time if you arrive late, check which terminal your flight uses, and remember that a transfer between the two airports can eat most of a day if you book separate tickets.
