Flights to Rome
Given that the city is one of the world's major tourist destinations,
the number and frequency of flights to Rome is unsurprising.
All Europe's major airlines operate
daily flights to Rome which gives Americans the choice of flying direct
or via a European hub. In addition to the traditional European airlines
several no-frills airlines fly to Rome too.
Flying no-frills
Among the no-frills airlines, easyJet
operates flights to Rome Ciampino airport from several European airports
while Ryanair operates
from a whole host of European destinations. Of the more minor budget
airlines, Jet2
operates flights to Rome from Leeds and Manchester.
Although the
no-frills airlines have revolutionised cheap air travel within Europe,
it pays to look at the traditional airlines too. Competition
has been fierce and prices over the last few years have been slashed,
despite the huge rise in the oil price.

or 17 - they are considered unlucky.

The major airlines
One of the benefits of the major airlines
is that you are always allocated a seat - not always the case with the
budget flights. Also, you usually get
food, and although airline food isn't the greatest in the world it can
help pass the time.
Usually
you are better off buying airline tickets from an online travel agency
such as Ebookers.com
- the prices are almost always better than the prices quoted by the airlines
direct.
Other online travel agents to consider
are Lastminute.com
and Expedia (see below) - packages of flights to Rome with hotel
included can work out at a better price, although you sacrifice flexibility
to book the exact combination you want.
