Rome flight FAQs
Your flight time to Rome depends on where you’re flying from and which airport you’re landing in. A journey from New York to Rome will take just over eleven hours including a connection in London, while Los Angeles to Rome takes just over 14 hours with a connection.
The most popular time to visit is during the city’s spring and summer months, so you can avoid the crowds and sweltering temperatures by booking your flights during the autumn or winter.
As Italy’s most famous destination, Rome isn’t known as the cheapest place to visit but makes up for it with spectacular art, ancient ruins and breathtaking sights. If you travel in the low-season, you’ll enjoy smaller crowds and save on both flights and accommodation.
Once you touch down at Rome’s Fiumicino Airport (FCO), you’re 30 minutes away from the city centre by train. Or take an airport shuttle bus to Rome’s Termini Station, a major transport hub that connects to buses and train services. Taxis can be easily found outside the airport terminal and offer fixed fares to the city.
Or hire a car with British Airways, and receive great benefits – with all mandatory charges included and 24-hour customer support. Collect Avios on every rental.
A cultural feast for the senses, Rome is burgeoning with famous attractions that are even more spectacular in person. From the Vatican Museum to St. Peter’s Basilica to the awe-inspiring ruins of the Colosseum, even a simple stroll through the city is rewarded with iconic architecture and captivating artworks.
