Has anybody done Ostia Antica recently that can comment on the difficulty of getting transport from there? What I can find says it might be problematic.
Has anyone taken a private tour/transport to Ostia Antica or that could take us there that they would recommend?
Our flight home from FCO is at 1600, so we have part of the day, and since they are relatively close to each other, I thought it might be a god thing to go to before we have to be at the airport.
But I don’t want to get stranded there :)

We (son Ian and I) rode a local train directly from Roma to Ostia Antica. The train station is at Ostia Antica, access over the tracks by an elevated bridge & down a lane. We did not have luggage loading us down. The site was an absolutely terrific experience and comes highly recommended.
That said, we traveled by the direct train back to Roma, not to the airport. I wonder what you'd do with luggage, how much time at the site, get to the airport on time.... Go the day before you travel and wonder at the delightful experience. ab

Get the taxi app and call a taxi?
You’ll want to be at FCO 3 hours preflight if you’re flying to US
AFAIK there is no luggage storage at the site so unless you are traveling super light this is maybe not the best day to visit
