Door-to-platform often ~40–50 minutes when connections line up; last shuttles wind down late evening with the rail timetable. Direct coaches (Terravision / SIT Bus Shuttle / Rome AirportBus–Schiaffini) leave opposite International Departures for Termini in ~40 minutes — online one-ways commonly from ~€6–€7 (desk often higher; Schiaffini lists €7 online / €8–€9 desk-class). ATRAL also runs airport → Metro A Anagnina (~20′, €1.20) then ATAC BIT metro (€1.50 / 100′). ATAC city buses 520 (Cinecittà/Subaugusta) and 720 (Laurentina) accept the same €1.50 BIT for the full airport leg. Official white Roma Capitale taxi: fixed €40 to anywhere inside the Aurelian Walls (also €40 Tiburtina / Ostiense; €55 to FCO) all-in for up to 4 passengers — insist on tariffa predeterminata; ignore stale €30–€31 guides. summary: Airlink €2.70; coach ~€6–7; taxi fixed €40 inside Aurelian Walls. category: timing - label: Security title: Pack 100 ml — Fast Track is ~€10 if queues spike detail: >- ADR’s 2026 Carta still publishes classic EU cabin LAG rules: containers ≤100 ml in one resealable transparent ~1 L bag, presented separately at screening. Fast Track is the preferential security channel — buy online via ADR’s Ciampino Fast Track page (or bundled with Easy Parking); third-party resellers quote ~€10 adult, under-12 free with a paying adult per ADR Carta. HighPass lists the lane daily ~05:00–23:00. ADR recommends arriving ~2 hours before domestic and international departures. Ryanair passengers can use self bag-drop before traditional check-in opens. From July 2025 ENAC dropped gate ID checks for domestic/Schengen (boarding pass only), but ID is still required at check-in, security, and spot checks; extra-Schengen still needs passport control after security. summary: Classic 100 ml; Fast Track ~€10; arrive ~2 hours early. category: terminal - label: Lounge title: No commercial lounge — use FCO if lounge access matters detail: >- Priority Pass’s Italy listings for Rome are Fiumicino-only (Prima Vista, Plaza Premium, TAV Primeclass, etc.). ADR’s public lounge pages likewise cover FCO products (HelloSky Arrival Lounge, airline lounges). Ciampino’s commercial terminal has snack bars, McDonald’s landside, a piadineria/ pizzeria/poké airside, play areas, and two workstations — not a Priority Pass lounge. GAT / FBO VIP rooms (Sky Services and similar) serve general-aviation and private flights only.
