Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino terminals
Rome's main airport is Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino (FCO), on the coast west of the city. It is different from Ciampino (CIA), which handles mostly low-cost flights. Fiumicino uses Terminal 1 mainly for ITA Airways and Schengen flights, and Terminal 3 for most international and long-haul airlines, including flights to the United States.
Non-Schengen gates in the E area are reached after passport control and, for some flights, a short shuttle ride.
Departures vs arrivals at FCO
Departing Rome, the pass gives you the priority lane at security and, for non-Schengen flights, outbound passport control. US flights may also have extra document checks at the gate, which the pass does not replace.
Arriving from outside the Schengen area, the pass helps at Italian border control, where queues can be long in summer. EU passport holders may be able to use e-gates. Screening and customs rules are the same for all.
Meeting point: Your exact meeting point and the name of your assistant are shown on the QR pass we email after booking.
When Fiumicino is busiest
Summer mornings between 05:00 and 10:00 are the busiest, when the transatlantic and European departure banks overlap, followed by weekends from Easter to October.
Planning your trip
The Leonardo Express train runs non-stop between Fiumicino and Roma Termini in about 32 minutes, and regional FL1 trains serve Trastevere and Tiburtina. Taxis from the airport to central Rome have a fixed fare to the Aurelian Walls area, and the station is a short walk from Terminals 1 and 3.
Flights to the United States, Canada and some other long-haul destinations depart from the E gates, reached after a passport check and, for many flights, a short people-mover ride. Some airlines carry out additional document checks at the gate, so allow time after security. Check-in for long-haul flights usually closes 60 minutes before departure. Arriving travellers from outside Schengen will pass Italian border control in Terminal 3 before baggage reclaim. In peak summer the border hall can be crowded in the morning when US flights land together. Include all travellers on the booking so you go through the lane as one group.
