It’s been 20 years since I last rode the Leonardo Express, and all I remember is that it was packed, I stood the whole way, and a guy sitting a couple of seats away stared at me the. entire. time. <shudder> So my questions re taking LEX from Termini to FCO are:
- I assume it's not mandatory to book in advance, but is there any advantage (discount?) or disadvantage to doing so?
- I don’t remember what type of train it is luggage-wise. That is, is there room enough to keep my suitcase with me; is there a luggage rack at the end of the car; etc.?
- At FCO, how much of a schlep is it from the train station to the check-in desks (esp. British Airways)? I’d like to know so that I can work it into my timing.
Also, is it enough to arrive at FCO two hours prior to my flight to LHR, or should I plan on three hours? If it makes a difference, my flight is at 3:00 p.m. on a Friday in late May.
