Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between FCO and CIA?
FCO is Rome Fiumicino, the main international hub with full-service carriers and long-haul flights. CIA is Ciampino, Rome's smaller low-cost airport handling Ryanair and Wizz Air. Flightmussy's multi-airport origin filter searches both at once so you don't miss a cheaper Rome-area departure when fares vary by terminal.
How do I get from Ciampino to central Rome?
Terravision and SITbusShuttle operate direct coaches between CIA and Roma Termini for around 6 to 8 euros, taking 40 minutes. ATRAL buses connect CIA to the Anagnina metro station. Taxis to the historic center are a flat fare of 31 euros. The airport is only 15 km from central Rome by road.
Which airlines fly from Ciampino?
Ryanair and Wizz Air handle nearly all scheduled passenger traffic at CIA, with Ryanair holding the dominant share. The airport rarely sees full-service carriers — those operate out of Fiumicino instead.
