Getting from MXP to Rome
European vacation plans changed. Flying into MXP. Need to get to Rome that night. Airfares (from what i've found) are horrible. Arrive on May 15th. If taking a train, can we get on a train at MXP for Rome? Staying at the Westin Excelsior there. Or if anyone has suggestions on airfare to Rome, that would be ideal. All responses are greatly appreciated.

Train to Rome is somewhat tedious with an MXP to Milan Cadorno station. Trains from Milan to Rome leave from Centrale, requiring a metro connection.
For flights, try blu-express.com. We had a phenomenal deal in November, but ended up not needing the tickets. The Excelsior is a lovely hotel. Enjoy your trip! |
At this thread is not DL-specific, I am going to move this over to the Europe Forum.(Western-Eastern).
Many folks who are informed and enthusiastic about Italy offer good advice. Obscure2K Delta Moderator |
I dont know if you have stumbled across http://www.trenitalia.com/en/index.html yet, but it is the website for the Italian passenger railroad, TrenItalia. A quick glance of the schedules dont look like they may be best for you, but I would suggest looking and playing around with timetables and see if there is something that might work.
I've never driven in Italy, nor have I traveled direct from Milan to Rome on the highway. Maybe some others can take the topic of renting a car? |

Also, I realize it is probably a pain to go from MXP to Milan Bergamo or Milan Linate airport, but I am just providing this to you as an option as I also do not know your flight arrival times.

Also, you would come into Rome's other and less used airport, Ciampo, if you use Ryanair. Finally, there is another LCC --blu-express.com -- that does fly from MXP to FCO, but it only has once a day service that leaves at 7:30 AM and I thought that would be too early for you. |
don't forget that luggage limits on the separate ticket local is much less than on the transatlantic.

Is the initial flight into MXP booked already? What airline and fare class? On AZ it generally costs the same or less to book an itinerary with a connection through MXP to another Italian city as to book direct to MXP. Also, AZ is doing domestic fare sales to compete with LCC pricing; check their web site. |

The Alitalia fares listed above look excellent and would be the easier alternative though. However, I wouldn't go w/Ryan Air - not only b/c of the already noted luggage issue but also b/c you find yourself in the position of having to get from MXP to Bergamo - which is a really pain. |
you might also look on this site:
http://www.alitalia.com/it_it/service/tar_euro.htm the italian specials usually bear no relationship to the usa site. one can purchase tickets at amex travel offices and pick them up, or purchase the ticket through the amex office, and pick the ticket up at the airport. |
