Fast early Morning Travel From Sorrento To Fiumicino Airport?

Don't think so. What does the train schedule show? You would have to connect through both Naples and Rome. Just not smart planning to think you could make it.

I agree with Frank. It will take over four hours total from Sorrento to FCO. That mean you have to start around 4:30AM.
I don't think the train in Sorrento start that early.

With the ferries from Sorrento to Naples taking 20-30 minutes, and the fast train from Naples to Rome taking about 90 minutes, I wondered (and I'm still wondering) if it would be feasible. The reason is because the consensus seems to be that sleeping in Sorrento is vastly superior to sleeping in Rome. It'd be nice to relax in Sorrento Saturday night before departing Sunday morning.
If the Sunday morning ferry/train schedules would permit it, wouldn't it be sweet?

Once in Rome you need to change another train from Termini to Fiumicino. is a bit of a stretch. If you are on a budget sleeping in Rome is better. otherwise you may want to consider a private transfer.

Yes, it will be sweet. But I checked out the train schedule form trenitalia, the earliest fast train scheduled for 6/3/12 (SUN) is 6:50AM. Arrive Rome at 8:00AM. The schedule also show the first R train started 4:02AM and arrive Rome 6:23. That mean you have to take a taxi from Sorrento to Naple before 3AM. I think I would stay in Rome instead.
Have a good trip.

Ray, what you are missing is all the connect times. With the train at 90 mins and the ferry at 30, that is not a two hour transit time to Rome. Assuming that there was a schedule that met your time requires you still have to get on and off the ferry, get from the ferry stop to the train. Get to the platform, wait a few minutes for the train to arrive, etc., etc., Get the picture. While transit time could be two hours, you have another hour of hanging around time. And then the next problem is that you have no margin for errror. Miss one item and your dead. Stay in Rome.

Agree with all the others that you should spend the last night in Rome. We did something similar a few years ago. We were on Capri, enjoyed a very nice morning there, walked to Villa Jovis, did not leave until after lunch. Then we started the trek back to Rome: hydrofoil to Naples, train to Termini, train to FCO. We didn't get to FCO until about 9pm, we walked to the airport Hilton and went to sleep.

If you're flying from FCO, especially on an American carrier, you need to be there at least 3 hours before your departure time. "It'd be nice to relax in Sorrento Saturday night before departing Sunday morning." It sure would; it'd be nicer to make your plane ;-) Relax in Sorrento the previous nights, then relax in Rome on Saturday night. It doesn't have to be at the airport, though...

Okay okay okay! I give. Let me up. You (all) win. :-) Thanks everyone.

I'm glad you've seen the light, but I'm wondering where you got the information that "the consensus is that sleeping in Sorento is vastly superior to sleeping in Rome"??? That's certainly not my opinion. I LOVE sleeping in Rome, since it's all lit up at night, and you can walk around after dinner, with the Romans (not just the tourists), soaking in the beauty. You really feel it is "The Eternal City." I know Rick Steves says Rome is draining, but I don't agree - its' very relaxing, if you stay centrally and take things easy (don't try to do too much, or then it is indeed exhausting). Most of all, as everyone is saying, there's nothing relaxing about worrying about missing your plane, while staying in Rome means you can actually enjoy your last night. (Sorry - I know you have hollered "uncle," but I just couldn't resist). However, as said, you should plan to be there at 7 AM for a 10 AM flight to the US, so even sleeping in Rome, you still have to get up early.

My rule-of-thumb is that any intercontinental flight departing before 11am warrants a last night stay near the airport.
