Hello,
We are planning to catch a early morning international flight at 6am from FCO terminal 1.
Our plan was to reach the airport late previous night around 10 or 11pm and crash at the terminal 1. We were going to take the train from Roma Termini (which is close to our hotel) to the airport. Any gotchas with that plan?
How late do trains from Roma Termini run to the airport? Would we be able to take 4 carry-ons/ 1-2 suitcases in the train? Is Roma Termini safe at night ?
Thanks
How many folks are wrangling all this luggage? Otherwise there should be no issue. Appears last train leaves Termini at 11:05PM
Does FCO allow overnight camping/crashing? ( I didn't research that, have you?)
Contact your hotel. With four people, that early in the morning, your best option might be a cab or car service. There is a flat rate of 50 or 55 euro to the airport, with four, that may be more, but the Leonardo Express train is 56 euro at flat rate, but you can get a group ticket for 40 maybe.
Crashing in the terminal is not really a great option.
I haven't researched the crashing at FCO yet. Hoping to hear from folks who may have done that.
We are a party of 4 - 2 adults, an 18-year old and a teen - so thinking that 4 carry-ons along with 1-2 suitcases should be manageable.
Will check with the Hotel on the option to take a cab. I have heard that cab / taxi service is unreliable in Rome, maybe even more so early in the morning hence looking at crashing at FCO.
We also looked at staying at a hotel near the airport but we didn't want to waste time checking out from the hotel in the city and checking into another hotel near Airport just for 6-7 hours.
Thanks
@ramesesh -
Is this your flight to Singapore that you mention in your other post? What about your left luggage at FCO - will you be able to retrieve it at any time, day or night?
