FCO to Pisa - fly or train?

If you can get the connection to Pisa for little or no cost on a single ticket, and don't have excessive wait time at FCO, take the plane. Not a difficult train journey though. There is a way to short cut going to Termini. Look up the route at www.Trenitalia.com. click on the British flag for English, then Fiumicino Aeroporto to Pia's Centrale. Since the schedule adjustment takes places Dec 14, if your travel date is after then, you may have to wait until after that date to see all the trains.

Train, one change downtown, 4.5 hours or less. Fiumicino Aeroporto to Pisa Centrale. No way you can beat that with a flight.

Thank you !

What Sam said.
There are only 4 flights daily to PSA.
The first and only in the morning is at 9:45. If you can’t make that one, the next is over 4 hours later.
The train journey from the Fiumicino airport station to Pisa (with one or two changes in Rome and possibly Florence) is at least 3h45min long, but, unlike the flights, there are plenty of train options (3 to 4 trains every hour on average).
So if you are flying on one Alitalia ticket (or Delta codeshare) and your scheduled arrival is before 8:15 am, go for the flight option. But if can’t make the 9:45 flight, then go for the train. You’ll get to Pisa sooner than with the 2:05 pm flight.

Actually the Pisa San Rossore train station is much closer to the Field of Miracles than Pisa Centrale.
