Cheap flights from Rio De Janeiro to Rome

Rome's long summer days bring heat and bright evenings, while winter is cooler and shorter, and that change in weather and daylight is one reason fares shift through the year. November is typically the least expensive month on this route, but flights are priced for every month from October to September, so flexible travellers can compare the whole calendar. School holidays, Christmas and Easter can tighten availability, and midweek departures often leave more room than weekend ones. If your dates are fixed for peak periods, book earlier rather than later and keep an eye on shoulder months when your plans allow.

LATAM Airlines heads the list of carriers on this route, followed by Latam Airlines Brasil, ITA Airways, Azul, Air Europa, Copa Airlines, TAP Portugal, Azul Conecta, Lanperu and Air Canada. Direct flights exist, but other itineraries connect through another city, so check whether your chosen fare is nonstop before comparing baggage, meals and seat selection. The same route can feel very different depending on whether you book a low-cost or full-service ticket, so read the fare rules rather than relying on the airline name alone.

You may land at either Fiumicino or Ciampino, and the airport you use shapes the rest of your journey into Rome. Fiumicino sits further out to the southwest, while Ciampino is closer in to the southeast, so allow different amounts of time for the transfer. Trains, buses and taxis all link the airports with the city, and the right choice depends on your luggage, arrival hour and where you are staying. Before you book, make sure you know which airport your ticket names and how you will reach your accommodation from there.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check your passport validity and whether you need a visa or onward travel proof for Italy, because entry rules depend on your nationality.
• Confirm which of Rio De Janeiro's two airports your flight leaves from and which of Rome's two airports it reaches.
• Read the baggage allowance on low-cost fares, since a cheap ticket may not include a checked bag.
• If your itinerary connects, check whether the flights are on one ticket or separate tickets and how much connection time is allowed.
• Look at seasonality before you choose dates, as school holidays and winter breaks can change prices and availability.
• Keep arrival transfer time in mind when booking a late arrival or an early departure.
