Flights

Rome is a city where you can pass two thousand years of history on the way to lunch. Stand inside the Colosseum, wander through the Roman Forum, toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain and gaze up at the Pantheon's dome. Across the river, the cobbled streets of Trastevere come alive in the evening with trattorias and wine bars.

Flights from the UK take around two and a half hours, with direct routes from London and several regional airports, many of them into Fiumicino. For cheap flights to Rome, aim for spring or autumn and compare fares across the week. Leave time for the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel, and book entry slots ahead.

Flying to Rome

Rome has 2 airports. The search above compares all of them at once; pick one if you prefer.

Before you book

Fiumicino or Ciampino?

Check the airport code on both flights: Rome Fiumicino is FCO and Rome Ciampino is CIA. Fiumicino has the Leonardo express rail link to Roma Termini; Ciampino has bus links, including connections to Ciampino railway station. Compare the onward journey to your accommodation as well as the airfare, using the operators’ current timetables.

Plan the complete Rome journey

An early departure or late arrival can change your transport choices. Check both the outbound and return airport before booking accommodation or onward travel. If an itinerary includes a connection, compare the total journey time and check whether you need to collect bags or change airports.

Compare the fare with your bags

An underseat bag, an overhead cabin bag and checked luggage are different allowances. Check what the selected fare includes for each traveller and each flight, together with the operating airline and change conditions. Oliey searches connected suppliers; an airline listed in our directory is not a guarantee of availability.

Payment and ticket confirmation

Oliey takes the full flight booking payment at checkout. Payment does not mean your tickets have been secured: your flight is confirmed only after our team secures them. Review the total, currency, baggage and fare conditions before paying, and keep your payment receipt and booking confirmation.
