We are flying into FCO from Mallorca on July 18... A Saturday afternoon arriving at 3:50pm. I am wanting to book a train from FCO to La Spezia, but the train leaves FCO at 5:38 pm. I am afraid that this is not enought time to gather my luggage, and find the right train in the FCO airport, especially if the plane is running late. Does anyone know if Easyjet is usually on time...or are they bad about delays?
Thanks ahead of time for your answers.

It's hard to predict. However, you should know that due to a fire last month, the FCO airport is operating at limited capacity due to the closure of large part of Terminal 3. As a result most flights have experienced delays or even cancellations.
I checked the Easyjet arrivals on Flightstats.com in the last 4 days at FCO from all destinations and on average less than 40% of the Easyjet flights were on time. A few were canceled. Whether the situation will be better or not 6 weeks from now when you travel there, I don't know.

That is the last train of the day that could get you to La Spezia, so counting on everything to go right has some risk. Can you take the earlier Easy Jet flight?

My EasyJet flights have been on time or early.

Remember there is no passport control arriving in Rome from Mallorca, and Easyjet flights are not huge planes, so you shouldn't have a long wait for your luggage.
I'd normally take the chance on your planned connections. But since the fire at FCO, it's not a normal situation, so I'm not sure what I'd do.
