Cheap flights from Cork to Rome

Late January and early March sit on either side of the cheapest month, February, so start your date search there. Months with prices run from November through June and again in August, with December and January carrying Christmas and New Year demand and August putting you in Rome's summer. Easter can fall in March or April, and weekday departures are often easier to price than weekends. Booking a few weeks ahead usually gives more choice, and moving by a day or two can change the fare.

What is included changes by fare, so read the fare rules before you compare totals. Ryanair, Aer Lingus, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Lufthansa, Air France, Emerald Airlines, KLM Cityhopper, Edelweiss Air and HOP! all appear on this route, and every itinerary connects rather than flies nonstop. Low-cost fares often charge for bags and seats, while full-service fares may include more, so add the extras before you decide. Check whether a regional partner operates your sector and whether both flights are on one ticket.

Arriving late in the day changes the first evening, because onward transport and check-in times can be tighter from either Rome airport. Ciampino and Fiumicino both serve the city, but they sit in different places, so match the airport to your hotel and your arrival time. Fiumicino is the larger airport with rail links into the centre; Ciampino is smaller and closer to town, but evening arrivals can mean fewer onward options. After a late landing, allow time for passport control, baggage and the transfer before you plan dinner.
