Nice to Rome shuttles?

ITA has direct flights. Are you connecting at FCO for a flight to North America?
Fastest train is 8 3/4 hours with train changes in Ventimiglia and Milano Centrale.
Google says drive time is 7 1/2 hours.

Do you mean a single shuttle service like a direct, small bus service? Since this crosses 3 countries and covers 8+ hours of driving I'm pretty sure the answer is "no".

You can chain bus trips to make this connection but train would be my choice. You would still be looking at probably 2 changes and 10 or so hours on the train but it is possible. My advice is not to miss your flight or look at follow on flights as a back up rather than ground travel for a trip this long. It is possible but it will take all day and you probably won't enjoy it very much.

Good luck,

Flight booked from where to where? Connecting to where?
Sounds like Nice to FCO?

I doubt a shuttle exists for that distance and I doubt it will help if you already have a short connection

Thanks for the information and prompt response. I've dug into trains and busses and I agree, if I can make another flight work that's my most efficient option.

Flying is the best option because anything else is like 10 hours.

If you want to fly non stop to Rome FCO, the only options are ITA Airways or EasyJet. Otherwise there are more options if you are willing to deal with a layover, but that will greatly increase the flight time.

Wow, didn't expect so many responses, thank you! I'm flying Volotea from Caen to Nice in the morning with a 45 min. layover and then easyjet to Rome.

Hmm. That doesn't sound like a layover.

I'm flying Volotea from Caen to Nice in the morning with a 45 min. layover and then easyjet to Rome.

So 2 different airlines and therefore 2 separate tickets with a 45 minute gap, is that correct?

easyjet closes boarding 30 minutes prior to departure

I'm looking for last minute options if things go south. Thanks.

There is no "if"; things have already gone south.

Definitely time for "Plan B"

I don't think you'll make that flight. Easyjet closes the gate 30 minutes before departure, so you'll have 15 minutes to get off the plane, (take the bus to the terminal), collect and recheck bags (and if you do that, you'll also have to reclear security), and deal with any checkin snafus (low cost carriers often require US citizens to show passports at a checkin desk before you can get your boarding pass).

I would start making alternate arrangements.

Maybe if you tell us your travel date, we can check for alternatives.

We flew Easyjet

Does easyjet have a later flight you could change to?

Maybe taking a train from Caen to Paris and flying to Rome could be a simpler/easier solution.?

Generally, EasyJet has a flight at 12:30 pm every day, and 3 days a week they have a later afternoon flight. Problem is that Volotea only flies a few days a week and often late in the day.

I hope kirsten can make it work
