If everything else were equal, which airport would you prefer to navigate for a Delta flight through Amsterdam to Seattle? Rome airport or Florence airport? Traveling late May 2026. Thanks.

It depends on the rest of your itinerary. Typically people recommend open jaw routings, where you fly into and out of different airports. In any case, you should typically spend the night before your flight home in the same city as your airport.

I will assume that your current itinerary allows you the option of being in either city the night before a flight to Amsterdam that will connect to a flight to the US. Is that correct?
All else being equal, I'd rather fly out of Florence, for 2 reasons. First, the airport is close by, and is easy to get to quickly by either taxi or tram. Second, it's a fairly small airport, so check in and security is easier. While FCO takes quite a bit longer to get to from Rome, and is big enough to take longer to get to the gate. IMO, the big advantage with FCO, especially in the colder months, is the much lower likelihood of the fog or wind delays that can cause delays in Florence.
