Fiumicino and Ciampino Airports, Rome's nickname

LEONARDO DA VINCI & GIOVAN BATTISTA PASTINE

If you are flying to Rome and you have to order the transfer of the airport there are a few things you need to know. The city has two airports: Fiumicino and Ciampino. Their names rhyme and they sound similar, but they do not altogether and all but it's close, so don't be confused!

Fiumicino, also known as Leonardo Da Vinci Airport, was the first to open to the public and remains the principal. Ciampino, in contrast, are smaller but slightly closer to the Center, recently became a usual person transport: in fact ever military airport. Only in the last ten or fifteen years that it has become as popular as Ciampino Fiumicino, and this is because of the great development of the low-budget airlines in Europe and the emergence of cheap airlines such as RyanAir, EasyJet and many other small countries here come from all over Europe.

Fiumicino is a big airport and not only with domestic and international flights, but also intercontinental flights. The larger dimensions and a very elegant free zone makes the Fiumicino airport  far better than to spend some time in. With four terminals and ordinary stores, not just a great place to land at or below, but also not a single boring waiting for someone to come.

Both the airports of Rome, as you can see, the first called with the name of a small town near: Fiumicino is a small town in the sea and a host of military port and great post Italy Navy (Marina Militare), whilst Ciampino is a small town that is very commercial to the fact being so close to Rome which is actually seen as sort of a separate district. But while the real name of Fiumicino, we've been told to be "Leonardo Da Vinci" (the name of the great genius of the XV-XVI century), are commonly used, no call real name Ciampino "Giovan Battista Pastine", probably because no one knows who he is!

Also on your airline ticket to Rome and their baggage "nickname" abbreviations will be used: FCO means Fiumicino airport, while the CIA, will be the label for Ciampino airport. Therefore, when you are booking a car transfer service on the web and they ask you where the airport will land, just read your ticket and no drivers would be risky to wait at the airport arrival gate was wrong
