About the New York to Rome route
New York to Rome is the main US gateway to Italy, with nonstops from JFK and Newark on five airlines in summer and fewer in winter. Summer fares are among the highest in Europe; October and March offer the same city at a fraction of the price. An agent prices the nonstops next to the one-stop options through Dublin or Lisbon for your dates and reads the total with bags included.
- Fiumicino to the city
- The Leonardo Express train runs from the airport to Termini in about 30 minutes. Taxis have a flat fare to the centre.
- Low-cost nonstop with bags
- Norse Atlantic's fares exclude bags and meals. With them added the total is often close to the full-service carriers. An agent prices both the same way.
