I first flew into Ciampino nearly 10 years ago and it was really very poor back then, mainly due to the fact it was being extended and extensively rebuilt. It now could be classed as reasonable, at least it is still small enough to nearly not get lost in, unlike Rome's other airport - see separate review. If you fly in to the Italian capital using one of the many budget airlines, it is almost guaranteed that you will arrive at this airport, but do not worry, it is well connected to the city itself and is much more user-friendly than Fiumicino is. The main drawback is that there is little to do there with only a few shops and bars, but as most of you will be flying "budget", there is hardly time to waste as generally you don't spend too much time in the airport anyway. Overall, a decent relatively straight forward airport, no frills but no particular headaches either!

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.
