Getting from Ciampino airport to Rome centre couldn't be easier. You'll find on the Ryanair flights they come round selling Terravision tickets - coaches which go from the airport to the station. It's cheaper to buy one on the flight than at the airport. You can buy single or return. Haven't done it for a while now but the cost will be around 7 Euros or so I think (others may have more up to date costs).The coach stops outside the airport and to the left of the exit and it takes forty mins or so to get into Rome (depending on traffic). The coaches just go when they're full and run every twenty mins or so. There's a big space underneath for cases though you often have to load them on yourself.It will drop you literally a couple of mins walk from Termini train station. On the way back you just turn up at the same place and hop on the return bus.Ciampino airport is just like airports the world over. I wouldn't choose to spend time there. Check-in desks always have huge queues and the security queue is usually very long but does move very quickly. Whatever you do don't leave buying souvenirs or drink etc there because a) it's expensive and b) there's not much choice. It's a small, often cramped place that services huge numbers of flights but let's face it, at the cost of Ryanair seats it's worth putting up with a couple of hours there.Dead simple! Enjoy Rome. I'm jealous! :)Best wishesCath.
