Detailed information with illustrations will answer the main questions that such tourists have. A description of the departure area and instructions for connecting to the airport's free internet are also given ( WIFI).

The location of the Fiumicino airport terminals is shown in the diagram below.

Usually Russian tourists arrive at terminal 3.

Arrivals Hall (Arrivals) Terminal 3

On the diagram arrival hall red arrows show the entire route of the landed passengers. Upon entering the building after disembarking from the aircraft, carefully read the signs located there. Popular advice - to follow other passengers - can let you down.

First, transit passengers are separated from the general flow of passengers, heading in accordance with the signs to the provided boarding passes gate areas.

For transit passengers, it is useful to read the article "Fiumicino Airport: terminals and gate areas". There is a general diagram of the terminals and gate areas of the airport.

The rest of the passengers, for whom Fiumicino is the final destination of the flight, are directed to the "Baggage claim" sign (baggage claim).

Then passengers from the EU countries are separated.

All others follow the "All passports" sign.

Before passport control, you will see a drive and a warning about what documents you need to prepare.

You may not be asked for a ticket and hotel reservation, but you need to have them on hand.

After going through passport control, you can go to collect your luggage following the signs "Baggage claim".

In the baggage claim area electronic scoreboard look at the number of the conveyor on which the luggage will be unloaded from your flight.

After receiving your luggage, you need to go to the customs inspection area. There, past all the transporters, there is a long corridor (see the diagram of the arrivals hall).

Near conveyor number 9, turn right into the green customs corridor, marked with a green sign on the floor "Nothing to declare" (if there are no goods subject to customs declaration).

After passing the frosted doors, you find yourself in the meeting room. The further route depends on your final destination.

From terminal 3 to terminals 1 or 2

Some travelers arrive at Fiumicino Airport only to transfer to another flight. If air tickets were booked for each flight separately, the air passenger needs to receive his luggage and then check in for the next flight, often at a different terminal.

To go to terminals 1 or 2, you need to go out of the welcoming hall to the street, turn left and go to terminal 2 for about 50 meters, after about 50 meters you will find terminal 1.

How to get there from the departure hall is written below.

The bus ride will take about an hour. The fare from Fiumicino Airport to Termini Station in Rome for these companies is approximately the same (5-6 euros), but the drop-off points are different, which must be taken into account if your hotel is located in the Termini area. For more information about routes and the cost of bus tickets, see the article "From Fiumicino to Rome by bus".

In the departure hall, check-in for the flight and pre-flight screening of registered passengers are carried out. After that, you can sit in a cafe or stroll around the shops while waiting for information about boarding. A guide to shops and cafes can be found on the Fiumicino Airport website. But do not forget that you still have passport control ahead of you.

History reference

During the years of rapid economic development after the Second World War oldest airport Rima Ciampino was having trouble keeping up with the growing flow of tourists arriving in the Italian capital. The decision was made to build a second international airport near Fiumicino. It was built in 1961 and became the main air complex of the Eternal City. Almost all international flights from all Roman airports were transferred here.

Over the years, the national carrier Alitalia has invested heavily in the improvement and expansion of the airport complex: the construction of new terminals, runways and improved technical equipment.

As a result, today Fiumicino Airport consists of 5 air terminals equipped with gates with modern air bridges, and four runways capable of receiving airliners of any class.
