Destinations from Rome
Airports — Rome
Rome departs from two airports, Ciampino and Fiumicino, and they are not interchangeable, so check which one your booking names before you plan the journey. Low-cost carriers such as Ryanair, easyJet, Volotea and Vueling sit in the mix alongside Aeroitalia, and the airport on your ticket decides how early you need to set off.
When to go
Departures from Rome swell around the big Italian breaks: the August exodus, the Christmas run and the Easter school holidays, when families travel at the same time and seats go early. Late spring and early autumn are calmer, and midweek departures are quieter than Friday and Sunday ones. If your dates can move, compare a Tuesday or Wednesday with a weekend before you commit.
