Cheap flights from Paphos to Rome

Rome's winter days are short and cool, and January, when fares on this route tend to be lowest, brings quieter streets and fewer crowds. Summer heats up the city and the fares, and the weeks around Christmas and Easter push prices up as families travel. Flying on a Tuesday or Wednesday and avoiding Friday and Sunday departures tends to help, and booking a few weeks ahead rather than at the last minute keeps more options open. Spring and autumn offer milder weather between the winter low and the summer peak.

On the budget carriers the fare usually covers the seat alone, with cabin bags, checked bags, seat selection and priority boarding priced as extras at booking or at the airport. Ryanair and Malta Air sit in that group, while Aegean Airlines, Lufthansa, British Airways, BA EuroFlyer and El Al Israel Airlines are full-service carriers where a cabin bag and, on many fares, a checked bag and a meal are included. Arkia, Israir and Trade Air also appear on the route, often as leisure or charter-style operators, and several of these airlines fly direct while others reach Rome with one stop. Comparing what is bundled against the add-ons is the quickest way to judge the real cost of each ticket.

Landing late in the day can mean the last direct train has gone, leaving a slower bus or an expensive taxi as the only way into the centre. Fiumicino is the larger airport and sits further out, reached by a direct rail link to Termini, while Ciampino is smaller and closer but relies on bus and rail combinations. Both airports are on opposite sides of Rome, so the arrival airport on your ticket decides which part of the city you reach first. If you land after dark, check the remaining public transport options before you book, since services thin out late in the evening.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check what the fare includes, since budget carriers charge separately for bags, seat selection and priority boarding.
• Confirm whether you land at Ciampino or Fiumicino, because they sit on opposite sides of Rome with different transport.
• Check whether your return flight uses the same Roman airport as the outward leg.
• If you connect on separate tickets, allow a generous buffer between flights.
• Review the entry rules for Italy that apply to your passport before you fly.
• For July, August or the Christmas period, search earlier, since fares on this route rise with demand.
