Peak season:
Although Rome is always crowded – in one way or another – the major tourism season starts in June and ends in August. These are the hottest months of the year, and they’re also the best for outdoor exploring since very little rainfall can be expected. Finding cheap flights to Rome during this time, however, can be a real challenge.
Off season:
The cheapest flights to Rome can often be found during the months of November through February, albeit you may have to deal with some rain and lower daytime temperatures. Alternatively, you can also book a cheap flight to Rome for the months of January through March, which is when accommodation prices and flight tickets are often more affordable, and tourist crowds also tend to be thinner.
When is the best time to book flights to Rome?
During Rome’s peak tourism season, it can be difficult to find cheap flights. You can start watching and comparing flight prices up to six months in advance of the date you’d like to fly to Rome, and it’ll help a great deal if you’re flexible with the dates of your upcoming Roman adventure. Booking a cheap flight to Rome may mean that you’ll have to travel during the off season, but go ahead and secure those tickets a few months in advance. This will ensure you’re getting charged the lowest rate possible.

Rome?
Aegean Airlines, American Airlines, Royal Air Maroc, Air Algerie, and Air France are the most widely used airlines that all operate cheap flights to and from Rome. In order to secure the best possible rates for your flights to Rome, it’s advisable to compare the offers from the various airlines and then establish whether budget or extra comfort is essential to your traveling needs.
How do you get from the airport to the city center?
Rome’s city center is located 26 kilometers away from the airport, which means that getting there can be done fairly quickly and easily. There’s a direct train that runs from the airport to the city center every half an hour, called the Leonardo Express, although this is one of the most expensive ways of getting to the city from the airport. You can also make use of the various buses parked outside of the airport, or simply hop on the Terravision, a shuttle service that is a little pricey but gets you to the city fast and hassle-free. Alternatively, visitors can make use of the white taxis of Rome that are widely available at the arrival terminals and operate on a fixed cost basis.
