Train from Termini Station in Rome to Fiumicino?
Can someone please confirm this? I think I have heard this - if so - do the trains leave on a regular basis? Any idea of the cost? TIA!! Daryl

The train is called the Leonardo Express,runs like clockwork every 30 minutes and you can purchase your ticket at the tabac shop on the left side as you are leaving Fiumicino to go into Rome. You leave baggage claim and walk up (you will see signs) to an where the trains leave from. I have to be in a limo bus for almost an hour every week going in and out of Rome(for work) with the traffic so the train is so much easier and quicker!

Hi df,

I just want to make sure that this is correct, as I thought that the LDV express was part of the Trenitalia system and required a Trenitalia ticket from one of the machines or the walk-up window.

I just took this train a few days ago. I bought my ticket right at the train (there was a man on the platform selling them) and it was 11 Euro. Maybe you could get it for 10 if buy it in advance. But, it was very easy. It was about 35 minutes from the station to the airport.

I guess 1 premium of 1.5E isn't too bad for not having to stand in line to purchase a ticket (9.5E at the station is the regular price).
I would be concerned, though, that I was getting a valid ticket.
In "Innocents Abroad", Mark Twain relates how he was able to buy train tickets at 1/2 the regular price from a gentleman that he met in Rome.
They turned out to be old lottery tickets.
