Would I have enough time to collect my luggage from my SIN flight, leave the airport, go to my hotel which is around 40mins away by shuttle bus,come back to the airport and make it in time for my flight to BUD?
2) On the return from BUD which will be at CIA around 8.30am, how long does it take to get out of the airport and get to the Sheraton Parco De' Medici? Won't be checking in any baggage for this flight!
Also, if it helps, I'm carrying a non-EU passport.
Thanks!
1. Yes, providing no flight delays and you take a cab, you have enough time.
2. 20-30 minutes, as there will be traffic at that hour.
I hope you are staying at that hotel for business and not to visit Rome, because it's a terrible place to stay. The Sheraton is very far from Rome. They offer a shuttle to the city, but the last one comes back at 9PM, before some restaurants have even been able to serve you dinner. It's terrible.
They put me there on a business trip once. I checked out on the first day and moved to a hotel in Rome proper at my own expense rather than staying there. It is a pain when a hotel puts a words like, "airport hotel" in it's name, yet it is nowhere near the airport. Same with hotels. The Sheraton has Rome in its name, yet it's over an hour to get to the city center by public transportation, and a half hour drive by car, depending on traffic.
