Cheap flights from Rzeszow to Rome

November is the cheapest month on this route, and the quiet stretch after the autumn holidays is when fares sit lowest. Winter travel between Poland and Italy is calmer than summer, though the run-up to Christmas and the Easter weeks push prices up at both ends. Midweek departures usually cost less than Friday and Sunday flights, when weekend breaks and business travellers compete for the same seats. For winter trips, booking a little ahead helps; for summer and the school holidays, book early. The calendar above shows how fares move from September through to August.

Several carriers sell tickets between Rzeszow and Rome, and they are not the same kind of trip. Wizz Air Malta is the low-cost name here, which usually means a lower ticket and more paid extras. LOT Polish Airlines is the full-service option, and Lufthansa and Lufthansa Cityline sell connections through their German hubs. Qatar Airways sells a longer, connecting itinerary. Non-stop flights do exist on this route, so check whether the itinerary in front of you is direct or a connection before you compare fares, because a low fare with a long layover is not the same product. Baggage and seat rules differ between low-cost and full-service tickets, so read what is included.

Rome has two airports, and which one you land at shapes your first hour in the city. Fiumicino is the larger of the two, sitting out to the south-west of Rome, and it has a train link straight into the centre, with coaches and taxis running alongside it. Ciampino is smaller and closer in on the south-eastern side, used mostly by low-cost carriers; from there you reach the centre by coach, shuttle or taxi, and the local rail station is a short bus ride away. Allow time for the transfer on your first day, and check which airport your return flight leaves from, because they sit on opposite sides of the city and mixing them up means a long cross-city ride.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Decide which Rome airport suits you better, Ciampino or Fiumicino, because they sit on opposite sides of the city.
• Check whether your fare includes a checked bag, especially on the low-cost ticket.
• If your trip is stitched together from separate tickets, leave room between flights, since a missed connection is yours to fix, not the airline's.
• Make sure your passport or ID is valid for travel to Italy and correct for your nationality.
• Compare November fares with the summer months before you commit, since the cheapest month is not always the one you expect.
• Confirm that your return airport matches the one you arrived at, or plan the transfer across Rome.
