Just wondering if anybody's used this direct coach transfer from the airport to Naples? The cost is comparable to using trains, but can save time and hassle when changing trains. We have 2 kids travelling with us.
I'm confused how a coach limited to 100km/ph can save time over trains which do up to 350km/ph.
I was unaware of a direct motor coach to Naples from the airport. Please cite the reference. Obviously it could be easier than the train changing in Termini but I would like to see the schedule. Might be worth trading convenience for speed.
Thanks Nigel and Frank, this is the website: http://www.fiumicinoexpress.com/orari-partenze/?lang=en, the first service is 6:15am, then every 2 hours from 8:45am till 00:45am. Yes, direct from the airport, Terminal 3, our flight is arriving at T1, 1:10PM, I'm hoping we can catch the 2:45pm service.
The service started just a few months ago, therefore you might be the first one to use it among all of us.
If the schedule works for you, it would be certainly more convenient than the train, especially with two kids. The high speed train might travel at 300km/h in some sections, but once you factor in the train change at Roma Termini, the train won't save you more than 30-40 min at best, and with the bus you don't need to lug your suitcases on board. The driver will put them in the bus belly, and you'll collect them at your arrival in Naples.
I agree with Roberto! If going by this new bus service please post a review when you can in the trip report section!
Happy travels!
That's a pretty fast coach!! Just 15 minutes slower than a private car!
Thanks everyone. It's good to know that this service is real, Roberto da Firenze, thank you, I was worried it could be a con. I think we will give it a go and let the forum know what it's like, but where is this trip report section, JJ-nowVoyager?
When you click on the Travel Forum, three sections come up. The middle one is "Tips and Trip Reports." The one we're on now is "Destination Q&A."
Thanks Janet
You're welcome! I'm also hoping you'll post about your experience for the benefit of the rest of us.
Michelle , glad Janet replied! Have a wonderful trip and keep cool!
