Which airport for budget flight from Rome?

We will be flying from Rome to Paris Orly in June. Which airport in Rome would be best to use for EasyJet? Ciampino or Leonardo Da Vinci? Are they both fairly easy to get to by Taxi or other transport?

Ciampino airport is far removed from the city. EasyJet flies from FCO to Paris Orly - I know because I've got tickets book on EasyJet from FCO to ORY in June.

Ciampino (CIA) is NOT far removed from the city of Rome. Actually it is closer to the city center than Leonardo Da Vinci Fiumicino airport (FCO). In fact the flat fee taxi fare from the city center to CIA is 30€ while the one to FCO is 48€. However Easyjet uses FCO, therefore it's a moot argument.

The quickest and easiest method to reach FCO is via the Leonardo Express from Roma Termini. Travel time is 32 minutes and that's usually consistent as it's not affected by traffic. Last time I checked the tickets were still €14 PP. DON'T forget to validate your tickets prior to boarding the train on the day of travel, or you'll risk hefty fines which will be collected on the spot.
