COMPARE THE COMPLETE JOURNEY

How can I find cheap flights to Rome?

Compare nearby dates where you are genuinely flexible, then keep the cabin, baggage and ticket rules the same. Add seats and the arrival transfer before comparing the total.

ROUTING

Nonstop or connecting flight?

A nonstop flight is usually quicker. A one-stop flight may have a better departure time, arrival airport or ticket conditions, so compare the full journey.

PROTECTION

Is the connection on one booking?

Check that every flight is on one booking. Confirm terminal changes, passport or transit checks, baggage transfers and enough time between flights.

CONDITIONS

What does the ticket include?

Add seat and payment charges, then check change, cancellation, refund and no-show rules. Confirm which airline actually operates each flight.

INCLUSIONS

What baggage is included?

Check cabin and checked baggage for the exact ticket. Compare size, weight and extra-bag charges, and ask whether bags transfer on a connection.
