Cheap flights from Lyon to Rome

Start looking early, because Rome is a capital-city destination and seats can tighten around school holidays and the Christmas period. November is the cheapest month among those with dated prices, while December and the summer holiday period tend to be busier. Midweek travel can help if your dates are flexible, and arriving at either Ciampino or Fiumicino may change the total journey time. A longer stay over a weekend is not always pricier than two separate midweek flights, so compare the whole trip rather than one leg.

KLM Royal Dutch Airlines is the full-service name among the carriers listed, while Easyjet, EasyJet Europe, Wizz Air, Vueling Airlines, Volotea, Wizz Air UK, Transavia France and Wizz Air Malta are low-cost brands; Malta Airlines should be checked ticket by ticket. Direct flights operate on the route, and connecting itineraries can involve a transfer, so the flight details matter as much as the headline fare. Low-cost tickets may separate cabin bags, checked bags, seats and flexibility from the base price, whereas a full-service fare may bundle more of them. Compare the exact fare family, airport pair and total travel time before booking.

Rome's two airports sit on different sides of the city: Fiumicino is the larger international airport with train and bus links, while Ciampino is smaller and usually reached by airport bus and local transport. Both transfers take long enough that a late arrival can push you past midnight, so check the last service before you book. If you land at the wrong airport for your accommodation, the taxi or rail ride across town can cancel out a cheaper fare.
