Cheap flights from Palermo to Rome

The expensive stretch runs through summer and the Christmas period; work back from there and October comes out cheapest on this route. The price calendar also covers November through September, so compare dates across the whole year rather than one month. Midweek departures are worth checking against weekend ones, and dates outside school holidays and the Easter period are worth comparing too. December and January sit in the holiday period, so compare those dates early and use the calendar to spot cheaper days in October.

The route is served by a mix of low-cost and full-service carriers: Ryanair, Wizz Air Malta, Malta Air, Vueling Airlines and Easyjet sit at the low-cost end, while ITA Airways is the full-service option, and Aeroitalia, Malta Airlines, Flexflight and Air Serbia are also listed. Direct flights exist, but not every itinerary is non-stop, so check the routing before you book. Low-cost fares may not include checked baggage or seat selection, while full-service fares usually bundle more, yet the exact inclusions depend on the fare type and should be checked on the booking page.

Arriving late in the day changes the transfer, because public transport thins out and you may need a taxi or a pre-booked shuttle. Rome has two airports, Ciampino and Fiumicino: Fiumicino is the larger airport to the southwest of the city, while Ciampino is smaller and closer to the centre. Trains, buses and taxis serve both, but the last service times differ, so check them before you book; also check which terminal your flight uses and allow time for the longer transfer from Fiumicino.
