ciampino station to airport for flight...looks tight
 
I'm all planned out and need assistance.
I want to catch a flight to London which leaves Ciampino airport at 10.55.(not booked yet)
I am arriving at Ciampino station at 0915, from Perugia.
There is a cotral bus service..which goes from Anagnina subway to Ciampino railway to airport at 0910, 0940 and 1005 (unsure of what time it reaches Ciampino railway).
Do I have enough time to make my flight????

Hi kimerley,

Odds are very small that you can make that flight, even if you are as fast as OJ Simpson.

The 9.10 Cotral bus arrives at Ciampino Station at 9.30 and at Ciampino Airport at 9.45.

Bus Stop at Ciampino Station is located just outside the back entrance.

You have only 11 mins at Roma TE to catch your the 9.00 train to Ciampino.
I'll check what tracks are these trains arriving and leaving and let you know as soon.

many thanks for your help

kimerley,
the train from Perugia arrives at 8.49 on track nr. 9.
The 9.00 Train to Ciampino leaves from track nr. 18. It's final destination is Velletri.
Tracks are subject to change, sometimes.

Times are pretty tight exp. in Roma Termini.
I would choose a later flight or look for a bus link to the airport provided by your company.


Hope this helps.

thanks LeCanard for your efforts in finding that information. I think I'll hire a car for my week in Perugia and drive to the airport(Iwas going to bus/train. That way I can catch the early flight to London.
I've driven in Italy before...and everyone was very nice...even when I did drive up the one way street the wrong way!

It's probably better this way.
Ryanair shuttle bus leaves Termini 2 hours before flight.
Unless you are flying on Saturaday or Sunday, allow real extra time to get to Ciampino. Driving time between Orte highway entrance and Ciampino could be up to two hours.
