Da Vinci Airport in Rome

We are flying Atalia from Malta to Rome landing at Terminal 1 . We then have to pick up our luggage and make it to Terminal 3 to connect with our flight home. Can anyone tell me how hard this is to do and if there is a connection system between terminals and approximate time to make the transfer. Thanks.

    Gary, are you SURE you must pick-up your luggage in Rome? Can't it be checked through to your final destination? Or is some other EU country your final destination? And by the way - very jealous that you will be on Malta! We'd go back there in a minute. Do NOT miss the Caravaggio painting in the cathedral in Valetta!!

    Pretty sure we have to pick up our luggage as we are on a different airline with a charter flight with Air Transat to Toronto. We have approx. 2hrs 45 minutes to reconnect but I am wondering how we connect between Terminal 1 and 3. I think we will have to go back through security but again I am not sure and hope this is enough time.

    Hi Gary,

    I could not find the info, you are requesting and forwarded your inquiry to our product managers for Italy. Hope to hear back soon.

    Stay tuned...

    From the Da Vinci Airport website:

    Fiumicino Airport has four passenger terminals – 1, 2, 3 and 5. Terminal 1 handles Alitalia flights and Schengen (the borderless European area made up of 25 states) flights, Terminals 2 and 3 handle domestic flights, Non-Schengen and Schengen flights, while Terminal 5 handles American and Israeli flights. A free shuttle bus operates between them and the car parks every 15 minutes or so.

    I had the same issues flying from Athens to Catania, through Rome, and it wasn't difficult to transport from one terminal to another, check-in, check baggage, go through security and find our gate. It didn't take that long. You should be fine.
