Saving Time and Money On Air Travel To Rome
Air Travel Reservations to Rome You can save money by shopping well
ahead of your flight but connections must be realistic. Can you really run from the
international terminal to the domestic terminal in half an hour? Give yourself
about two and a half to three hours for a connection that requires a trip through
customs and immigration.
If you are traveling to Rome from the United States, a good bet is to fly into New
York City or other east coast city and then board a non-stop flight to Leonardo De
Vinci Airport in Rome( Commonly called Fuimicino, FCO) where you will go
through customs and immigration. That way you will have no anxiety about making
a connection after the customs/immigration check.
Otherwise you might go through Ireland's Shannon or London's Heathrow, through
Munich, Amsterdam, or other city where you will go through customs and
immigration and could be delayed for your flight to Rome.
Air Travel To Fuimicino Airport, FCO Rome, Tips On Saving Money and Time
Start saving on Air Travel by parking your car for free at an airport hotel in
your home city.
The early shuttle from the hotel to the airline terminal will allow you to book an
early flight and save money on the airfare. Two weeks of free parking offsets
the cost of the hotel room and you do not need to arrange for a limo to and
from the airport.
When making a reservation and choosing a seat assignment try to get the best
possible seat for your needs.
In coach all seats are not the same, some are smaller, the last row might not
recline.
Seats on the exit row will have extra leg room but might not have space under the
seat in front of you for your carry-on.
If you have a frequent flyer account you should be able to get an assigned seat when
you book.
If you have a connection to make you could look for a seat forward which will allow a
faster exit.
