I would say that the main reason to use Ciampino Airport would be the low cost flights from various Airports in the U.K. and the distance from Rome which is about 3O minutes. I have done this journey on several occasions from Stanstead and Newcastle Airports. On arrival in Ciampino, the smallest of the 2 Roman Airports, you will see that the Airport is very small, and basic. Coming out of arrivals you can see the various buses standing outside which are couriers into Rome. There are at least 2 different companies offering buses to take you to Rome Termini Station, and I have never waited more than three quarters of an hour between buses. You pay on the bus and it all seemed very straightforward to me. The prices are from 6-8 Euros each person depending on the company. Once arrived,(the bus will stop and driver get off) you need to walk about 5 mins to arrive actually at the station as the bus parks around the corner, but the driver or anyone will direct you to the station. From there you can get to anywhere in Italy by train, or if you have already booked a hotel in Rome, ( a good idea!) pick up a taxi to your hotel. Alternatively a taxi from Ciampino is anything from 40 - 50 Euros you can still barter with the taxi drivers sometimes. If there is more than 4 of you a taxi would work out cheaper.

Advantages: Friendly staff, easy to go through, close to Rome Disadvantages: Few shops/cafes, getting back there from Rome can be a bit more complicated.
