Frequently asked questions

What is the IATA code for Rome?
Rome itself uses the metropolitan code ROM, but the two real airports are FCO (Fiumicino) and CIA (Ciampino). When booking, always pick the actual airport code rather than ROM. Flightmussy's multi-airport origin filter automatically searches both FCO and CIA together so you don't miss a cheaper alternative.
How do I get from Fiumicino to central Rome?
The Leonardo Express train runs nonstop to Roma Termini in 32 minutes for 14 euros. Slower FL1 regional trains stop at Trastevere, Ostiense, and Tiburtina for about 8 euros. Taxis charge a flat 50 euros to anywhere inside the Aurelian walls. Buses and ride-share are available, but the train is fastest.
Are there direct flights from Rome to New York?
Yes. ITA Airways, Delta, United, and American Airlines all operate direct routes from FCO to New York JFK or Newark. Frequencies peak in summer with multiple daily departures across all carriers.
