What is the best way to get to Rome Ciampino airport for a 9 am flight? I know there is a Terravision shuttle that runs from Termini to the airport, but their website doesn't mention how early they start running. Tried emailing them, but no response. Has anyone used this shuttle for an early am flight?
Conny,
I have used the shuttle to CIA for a 9:20 flight and we arrived early... so they are available. I usually do not take Terravision as they are 8 Euros (I believe). I take one of their competitors and it costs only 5 Euros.
All the busses to CIA leave from the LEFT Side of Termini (if you're facing it from the front)and on two services you can pay as you get on. Takes about "30 minutes" and it's DIRECT from Termini to Ciampino.
Thanks. Do you know the name of the shuttle service that you used?
Here's a link with their times...

You can see they start at 4:30 AM and are only 5 Euros. They pull up to the bus stop (I want to say #3 -- or was it "C"???) out in front of the airport where the ATAC busses pull up. They do not run as frequent as Terravision but I've never had any problem using them. Be careful as you see the asterisks that denote a "side trip" to Tiburtina!
You see their address: Via Marsala... that's where all the busses (Terravision included) leave from Termini. Hope that helps!
Thanks Ron. You've been very helpful.
