Florence to Rome Airport on day of departure

It is doable of course, but I don’t do it. On the night before my flight, I stay in the city where I fly out from, doesn’t matter at what time my plane departs, mainly because sheet happens. It happened to me two years ago (stuck on the freeway for 4 hours due to a fatal,accident), it happened to me again today (forgot my iPad at my house in Tuscany and half way to Rome, I had to go back to get it). Fortunately my flight is always the day after I go to Rome.

I agree with Roberto that it’s always better to spend the last night near the airport. If you want a bit more time in Florence, check out of your hotel and have them store your luggage, do your sightseeing, pick up your luggage and take the train to Rome late in the day. Then enjoy a nice dinner and stress-free morning.

I agree it’s wisest to go to Rome the night before your flight. You needn’t spend the night at the airport, though, since your flight is in early afternoon. I suggest spend your last evening in Rome and then take a cab or the Leonardo Express train to the airport.
