In-Depth Information
Dozens of international airlines compete with the country's national carrier, Alitalia, rated a 3-star airline
by UK aviation research company Skytrax. If you're flying from Africa or Oceania, you'll generally need to
change planes at least once en route to Italy.
Intra-European flights serve plenty of other Italian cities; the leading mainstream carriers include Alitalia,
Air France, British Airways, Lufthansa and KLM.
Cut-rate airlines, led by Ryanair and easyJet, fly from a growing number of European cities to more than
two dozen Italian destinations, typically landing in smaller airports such as Rome's Ciampino (
