Cheap flights from Madeira to Rome

Christmas and school-holiday weeks are the expensive stretch, so book them early and check midweek dates. Working back through the calendar, March is the cheapest month shown, and the listed fares cover every month of the year. If your dates are flexible, compare a few weekdays and nearby dates before you commit, because the saving often comes from the day rather than the airline.

On the low-cost side, Easyjet, Wizz Air and Norwegian usually sell a base fare with bags and seat choice as extras, so add those before comparing. TAP Portugal, Brussels Airlines, British Airways, BA EuroFlyer and Scandinavian Airlines are full-service, with more included in the fare but not always the lowest price. Smart Wings and Portug can vary by ticket type, and every airline on this route connects rather than flying non-stop. Check the fare rules for each flight, because the same route can be sold in several bundles.

Fiumicino is the larger airport, so expect longer walks, more terminals and a wider choice of transfers into Rome; Ciampino is smaller and quicker to clear, but with fewer services. Both sit outside the centre, and the usual ways in are train, bus or taxi depending on the airport and the time of day. Confirm the airport on your booking early, because the transfer differs for each and a late arrival can limit public transport.
