Cheap flights from Manchester to Rome

Rome has long summer daylight and shorter winter days, and prices follow those seasons. October is the cheapest month, while December and the summer months are busy travel periods for this route. Midweek flights can cost less than weekend flights, and booking ahead matters around school holidays. Check each month in the price calendar before you fix your dates.

Low-cost fares usually include only the seat and a small bag, with cabin bags, checked bags, seats and meals as extras. Full-service fares more often include a cabin bag and some flexibility, but checked bags and seat choice can still cost extra. Easyjet, Ryanair, Ryanair UK, Jet2, Vueling Airlines and Malta Air sit in the first group; Malta Airlines, KLM Cityhopper, Iberia and British Airways sit in the second. Direct flights are available, and some itineraries connect rather than fly direct.

Fiumicino is the larger airport and Ciampino the smaller one, so expect longer walks, more queues and a longer transfer at Fiumicino. Both airports sit outside central Rome, and trains, buses and taxis run into the city from each. Ciampino can mean a shorter airport experience, but fewer facilities and a less frequent transfer pattern. Check which airport your ticket names, because the two are not interchangeable for your hotel or onward plans.
