Practical tips
Rome has several stations and airports. Before leaving your accommodation, open your booking confirmation and note the exact stop or terminal name. Going to the wrong one is the most common and avoidable mistake on this route.
Fares tend to climb as departure approaches, especially in high season. Booking ahead online gives you more choice of times and protects you from paying a premium for a seat that was cheaper days earlier.
A flight with a stopover looks quicker, but add airport transfers, check-in and a possible baggage fee. Use the comparison table to weigh the real door-to-door effort against the simpler coach ride.
Rome traffic and busy metro lines can slow you down. Allow a comfortable margin before a coach departure and a larger one before a flight, so a delay on the way doesn't cost you your seat.
Save your e-ticket and the departure details offline before you leave. Station Wi-Fi can be patchy, and having the stop name and booking reference ready makes boarding quick and stress-free.
