Airline and stops
Ryanair operates this route as a direct flight both ways. No connections, so you travel uninterrupted. Keep in mind Ryanair's strict baggage policy: a small cabin bag is free, but large rucksacks and suitcases carry extra fees. Check their T&Cs before purchasing.
Best time to visit
Rome is busy most of the year, but November to February offers lower fares and fewer crowds at monuments and museums. July and August peak in price. For good weather without the premium, aim for April–May or October. The sample flight (14–18 November) hits a sweet spot.
What to do when you arrive
You land at Rome Fiumicino or Ciampino (depending on Ryanair). Train, bus and taxi link the airport to the city centre. Don't miss the Colosseum, Vatican, Trevi Fountain and Trastevere. Most of Rome is walkable; a 3-day Roma Pass saves on museums and transport.
