I booked my trip to Italy with me arriving in Rome, and departing out of Pisa. I'm planning on staying in Camogli for that part of the trip.

I just heard about ridiculously low fares from JFK to MXP Round Trip that are about $400 cheaper per ticket.

The price savings is meaningful, but we want to check out Rome. How much of a pain would it be to go direct to Rome from MXP to start the trip?

I'd imagine it will add in at least 5-6 Hours (between travel time and time needed after landing).

In that case, we'd get into Rome at around 7PM that night. With the train ticket and length of day, the thought of the $ savings gap seems to get narrower.

What do you guys think? Is it an easier process to get from MXP to Rome than I'm making it sound like?
