Leonardo da Vinci International Airport (FCO)
Aeroporto Internazionale Leonardo da Vinci Main airport of Rome, located in Fiumicino NOTE: Wikiposts are community property and maintained; they can be edited by signed in members with 90 days / 90 posts. Wikipost contents may be printed by using the  (lower right wiki corner next to Edit button).Location: 35 km (22 mi.) southwest of Rome, connected by road (taxi, etc. approx. one hour) and train (30 minutes). Address: Aeroporto Internazionale Fiumicino, Via dell' Aeroporto di Fiumicino, 320, 00054 Fiumicino RM, Italy  Websites Link to Rome Airports official site (English); Collegamento a sito ufficiale di Aeroporti di Roma (Italiano) Extensive information on transportation, arrivals and departures, etc. Link to Wikipedia page on FCO. Terminals As of December 2021, FCO's active terminals are T1 and T3. To determine the terminal for your airline, do a search at https://www.adr.it/web/aeroporti-di-...ore-travelling . As of May 2022, the list of airlines using each terminal appears outdated; for example Lufthansa isn't on the list of airlines using T1, but a search shows it using T1. For the most part, Schengen based airlines use Terminal 1; non-Schengen Terminal 3. Gates are numbered with A for Schengen, E for non-Schengen; U.S.-bound flights are generally from the satellite gate area E31-44, accessed by a rail people mover. All gates can be accessed from either terminal; for example ITA flights to the U.S. check in at T1, on the east side of the complex, but depart from the satellite gates well to the west. Baggage claim is at T1 for Schengen (i.e. if connecting, the flight to FCO departs from a Schengen airport), T3 for non-Schengen, regardless of which terminal the airline uses for check-in.

I know for sure that there is a bus between Ostia and the airport and there may well be one to/from Fiumicino too; otherwise, a taxi would bring your expenses way up again. I'm certain that you could check-in at the hotels around midnight but, just to make sure, call them before booking.

When overnighting at FCO (or for a bit longer), I usually stay in Ostia. Have stayed in Fiumicino, but there's not much to do there.
Ostia is half an hour from FCO by Bus (https://servizi.cotralspa.it/Orari) and it's lovely place by the sea with lots of good value hotels and restaurants, etc,
Even a taxi was only EUR 25 the last time I used one, but as I haven't been to FCO for a couple of years things may well have changed.
But the bus to Ostia, from right outside T1 arrivals hasn't changed (see the Cotral website above). However you will need to get a ticket prior to boarding (they were available at the coffee shop in T1 arrivals when I was last there).

Noting that the current posts about staying in Ostia and Fiumicino appear to be in reply to posts from almost two years ago, for a cheap stay close to the airport a friend recommends L'Isola B&B in Fiumcino: https://www.bedbreakfastfiumicino.com/?lang=en . Apparently the owner will pick up and drop off at the airport.

Based on what I have read, the Plaza Premium lounge is accessible to Schengen passengers. Is that correct? I will be departing to France.

Similar question to the above but a bit more timely as I’m flying out of FCO in a couple of days for IST and then onward. Is 90 min still sufficient time to arrive at the airport for an early morning flight or must I leave more time these days?

Customs at FCO
Hello,
Does anybody know if Customs will be open early morning on Sunday? I fly out July 10 from FCO at 10.30am on American. I ask because I will have to do VAT Tax refund procedure and the first step is to get the VAT receipts stamped by customs by showing them the goods and the receipts..
TIA,
KG

I have a question re transferring Schengen -> Non Schengen at FCO.
Flying KLM AMS-FCO then QF FCO-PER with an 80 minute transfer on one ticket. If I look at the FCO website for this type of transfer, it says I need to collect my bags and go out to check them in again (see image below).
This seems extremely odd to me, I would have thought going from S to NS no further check-in would be required and I could just go through transfer security and passport control.
Is the information on the FCO website correct?

The graphic you've linked comes out, when I try to replicate it, through the "Rome Self Connect" form
https://www.adr.it/web/aeroporti-di-...self%2Bconnect
Since, as you say, the transfer you have is on one ticket then this doesn't apply. Your bag will be tagged all the way through at AMS (do check they do that) and as long as you have boarding passes for both flights you just need to go through security again and passport control at FCO.

Roma Self Connect
What it is
The Self Connect Service is for all passengers who have purchased two separate tickets and have a layover at Fiumicino or who are organising their trip and want to discover their best flight combination.
How it works
Simple and fast, passengers need only select various options (origin/destination country; with or without hold luggage; with or without boarding card) to view the correct route to take through the airport.

Ahhh that makes a lot more sense. I missed the bit about ‘self connect’ and then was quite confused why it was saying I would need to collect the bags.

No response to the couple of posters above who asked about general conditions at FCO... Any reports? Doing a bit of Googling, it certainly doesn't seem anything like the mess in AMS or LHR, but it has also not been a great airport even in the Before Times, in my experience.
