We will be flying FCO-LHR-YYC in August on BA549 scheduled to depart FCO at 12:55 in CE/CW. How early are BA likely to open checkin at FCO for CE? I can't find this info on the BA website.

We will be travelling from Civittavechia Cruise Terminal on a Thursday morning and have booked a private transfer for 8.30am. I've read that the travel time should be around 50 minutes.

Do you think we should change the 8.30am pickup time to an earlier time or does that seem to be an ideal time? I don't know how much travel times can vary with traffic in Rome. I'm assuming checkin would be a 3 hours prior so if we arrive at FCO between 9.30am and 10am that should work out well.

Thanks for any advice you can offer.
