MAKE THE JOURNEY COUNT
Airlines, flight times and connections
Times below are published examples, not calculated route averages. Connecting journey times include the stop. Services and schedules can change; confirm your exact dates with the airline.
| Route | Airline example | Journey time | Price information |
|---|---|---|---|

Direct or connecting?
The research includes a nonstop option. Compare its arrival time and total cost against connecting itineraries before choosing.
COMPARE THE WHOLE COST
Flight prices to Rome
For a short Rome stay, compare a usable arrival afternoon against a cheaper late landing. Include checked bags and the journey to your accommodation before deciding which ticket costs less.
We do not yet have a comparable fare sample for a reliable average. Request a quote for your dates, cabin and baggage needs; a single advertised low fare would not tell you the average cost.

THE RIGHT ARRIVAL
Choose your airports
London airports
Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton, City and Southend are separate airports. An early departure can require a hotel or taxi; check the first train before treating a low fare as a saving.
London Gatwick
Check train times and which terminal your airline uses, particularly for early departures.
Airport transport information ↗London Stansted
Allow for the journey outside central London and check early-morning services.
Airport transport information ↗London Luton
Include the station-to-terminal connection when comparing your door-to-door time.
Airport transport information ↗London City
An east London option; match the flight schedule with your starting point.
Airport transport information ↗London Southend
A separate airport in Essex; include the rail journey when comparing it with other London airports.
Airport transport information ↗Rome airports
Fiumicino and Ciampino are distinct airports, not interchangeable terminals. Fiumicino has rail links; a Ciampino itinerary needs a separate surface-transfer plan.
Rome Fiumicino
Compare rail and bus routes to your neighbourhood rather than assuming every service reaches your hotel.
Airport transport information ↗Rome Ciampino
Plan a bus or combined surface transfer; allow additional time when your return departs early.
Airport transport information ↗Choose a cabin that fits the journey
For this short European journey, compare baggage, flexibility and airport benefits before paying for a cabin upgrade. A business-class label does not by itself promise a long-haul-style bed.
Before you choose
- Compare the full cost from your home to your destination. For a short break, a closer departure airport or a more useful flight time may be worth more than a small saving on the ticket.
- For a short Rome stay, compare a usable arrival afternoon against a cheaper late landing. Include checked bags and the journey to your accommodation before deciding which ticket costs less.
When should you visit Rome?
