Cheap flights from Chicago to Rome

Chicago to Rome is a roughly nine-and-a-half-hour flight into Fiumicino, and the cheapest fare we track today is $248. United runs a seasonal nonstop, and one-stop options through other European hubs often match or beat it, so scan the full table before you book.

November to March is cheapest, though Rome is cold and quiet then. The better value is April and October: comfortable weather, shorter lines at the Vatican and Colosseum, and fares still below the summer peak. Deep summer brings heat above 35C and the biggest crowds of the year.

The Leonardo Express links Fiumicino to Termini station in about half an hour. From Rome, Barcelona is a cheap two-hour hop if you want to pair Italy with Spain. The Rome city guide covers timing and neighborhoods; Barcelona is the easy second stop.
