We are thinking of buying Italo 13:33 departing from Florence and arrive at Termini 15:05, then connect to Leonardo Express to FCO Airport. Flight is at T3 departing at 19:15 on a Tuesday.
Will we run into any problems getting off Italo at Termini and buying Leonardo Express using a self-service machine? How long should we allow the transfer from getting off Italo.
What might be easier for you is to take one of the direct trains from Florence to FCO. You'd make a couple of stops, one at Termini, but you won't need to change trains and worry about connections and navigating Termini, etc.
The link below brings you to the Slow Europe site and the post is from "GAC" (this poster has contributed greatly to the old Slow Travel site, and also on other travel forums and is generally considered an authority on Italian transportation stuff). The page I'm linking provides info for transportation between FCO and Florence, but you can just use the tips in reverse:
