FAQs for booking flights from Ottawa to Rome

  • How can I fly from Ottawa to Rome?

    Unfortunately, there are currently no direct flights between Ottawa and either of Rome’s airports. Most of the flights between these two destinations have one layover, and sometimes you will find flights with two layovers.

  • What are some common layover cities on the route from Ottawa to Rome?

    The layover(s) you have on your way from Ottawa to Rome will depend largely on the airline you’re flying with. For example, Air Canada usually has a layover in either Montreal (YUL) or Toronto (YYZ), Lufthansa has a layover in Montreal (YUL), and Air Transat has a layover in Toronto (YYZ). If your flight has two layovers, it’s likely that they will be at YUL and YYZ.

  • What can I do to make my trip from Ottawa to Rome more sustainable?

    There are several things you can do to make your flight as eco-friendly as possible. First, use public transportation to get to YOW and after you land at FCO or CIA. Next, try to book a flight that has the fewest layovers possible—in this case, one layover. This will cut down on the number of takeoffs and landings and, therefore, conserve fuel. Try to book with Air Canada, as it’s one of Canada’s most sustainable airlines. Finally, pack light in order to reduce the weight on the plane; that way, the plane will burn less fuel.

Top tips for finding a cheap flight from Ottawa to Rome

  • Ottawa is served by Ottawa International Airport (YOW), a hub for Porter Airlines and Zoom Airlines. YOW also provides access to other cities nearby, such as Gatineau and Smiths Falls.
  • Rome is served by two main airports: Rome Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci Airport (FCO) and Rome-Ciampino International Airport (CIA). FCO, the bigger of the two airports, serves more international flights than CIA, so it's likely that FCO will be your arrival airport after a layover or two. Flights from YOW to CIA with layovers are also available, but usually are more expensive and take more time.
  • If you’re looking for the cheapest flights to Rome from Ottawa, your flight will probably have one or two layovers and will be operated by Air Transat or Porter Airlines. If you’re looking for the cheapest possible deals, you could also choose a cheaper flight-and-bus combination to bring you to your final destination in Rome.
  • If you’re bringing a large amount of baggage to Rome from Ottawa, you may want to consider upgrading your seat class, especially if you’re flying on a low-cost airline. Many budget airlines only allow one carry-on item and require extra payment for any additional carry-on or checked baggage. Upgrading your seat affords you additional free carry-on baggage, usually for a lower cost than if you added extra bags to your economy-class seat.
  • If you have an early-morning flight out of YOW, consider booking a hotel nearby for the night before, so that you can skip the stressful morning drive to the airport. Currently there are plans to construct a hotel onsite at the airport, but for now you should book a hotel nearby that offers free shuttle service, like the Hilton Garden Inn Ottawa Airport.

The check in was horrible. I stood in line for 1 hour to check in with an Air France ticket. Then I was told I had to go to Delta counter onstead to check in instead. It made no sense.

The check in was horrible. I stood in line for 1 hour to check in with an Air France ticket. Then I was told I had to go to Delta counter onstead to check in instead. It made no sense.

Generally good. The crew is excellent. The food could be better.

They wanted to close counter although they did not provide the wheelchair requested which ended by going alone to transit security and lost long time and they did not want to wait .

Good aorcraft 777 but Worst food ever Breakfast was a bû’with matonnaise… Staff was nice but invisible most of the flight

Business class in the second leg - CDG-EVN was a disaster.

Everything went smoothly with Air France. There was a delay in departure which seemed to relate to the immigration services being short staffed.

worst experience ever i choose my seat in advance and also have my seat selected in my boarding and the they told me that my seat has been changed without notify me

No bording was given for next trip on same carrier, food was very moderate.

We transited through Chad and what was supposed to be a 1hr 20 minutes transit time lasted over 4hrs. We didn't get regular updates until we complained. After a 10hr flight from Paris no form of refreshment given and finally arrived Abuja over 6hrs later and none of my bags came

Lost luggage, 2 bags were badly damaged and one of the bags came open.

Crew was terrific. In flight entertainment system is very slow and the touch screen can be not sensitive enough or too sensitive. It was such a pain to pause a movie in case when I unpaused it accidentally thought I presses stop. This happened 3 times. I gave up and went back to my phone for entertainment.

Everything was great. I really like how they had their safety film set up showing you the beauty of the country.

Inexperienced crew. Food was so so. They lost my luggage on a direct flight. Was flying business so my luggage was priority. Not impressed.

I liked the early check in. Flight was a bit bumpy due yo weather. Overall, everything went well.

It was awful. For a 37 minute flight time,we had 1:30 hours delay. If someone had a connection flight he or she couldn’t reach for sure. The only positive point was online check in.

Limited snack options cause the snack vendor was on strike

Time between flights was insufficient and distance between gates was too far.

The 6 hour delay with minimal updates was not handled well. After many complaints from most of the un-boarded passengers, food vouchers were offered. The catering strike meant there was no food or snacks on the plane. Beverage service was heavily impacted, only water or juice was available. The staff at the gate was kind enough to inform that "if you want to eat on the plane, you will need to bring it on when boarding".

It was an excellent experience, traveling from Toronto to Denver with United.

Ontime boarding. Almost 1 hour take off delay. We could have boarded slightly later since the pilots were in traffic

boarding needs to be streamlined load the back of the plane first

Try to humanize onboarding and take AI out. It's embarrassing and useless

no kiosks to check in with- it’s 2024!!! the flight was so hot and uncomfortable - not sure if that’s what caused a lady to faint during the flight but i was absolutely miserable.

Hated every minute of it. Delayed for over 10 hours only to have to cancel rental car, car insurance and hotel. Its taken me 3days to get to my final destination when it should have only taken 12-14 hours. Very unhappy with Lufthansa.

Air Canada from Edmonton to Toronto was disappointing but Lufthansa from Toronto to Frankfurt was excellent.

I ended up buying (for $340) "extra space" seats because I my flying partner was given a STY boarding pass, leading me to conclude that she was on standby and that we had to buy seats on the flight. I later learned that the flight was not sold out and that we could have gotten on as usual. To be honest, I felt swindled.

I'm Canadian. I have the unfortunate experience of pretty not having the choice to fly with them. THEY ARE TERRIBLE.

You need to reimburse me for my seats purchased and luggage.

My baggage has been lost for the last 6 days! The problem originated at LAX with Lufthansa, which was a very big disappointment from LAX to Munich. The flight was delayed over an hour, the overhead bins on the window side are too small for most carryon's, the in-seat video screen were very poor as they would not respond to your touch quickly and would stop and start all over again, the earphone jacks are not like most standard ones, the seats still has wrappers and trash in pockets and on the seats. and there was no USB outlet to charge your phone or other devices. The German reputation for quality is bogus with this airline. BUT the responsibility for delivering my luggage became Air Dolomiti's as they were the last leg of the trip. The baggage area was chaos because several flights arrived at once. I took me over an hour to file a claim, the agent entered my info incorrectly, and the contact numbers for Lost and Found at the airport was never answered. I have never been called by Air Dolomiti or the baggage delivery company. I had to do all the calling. AD's live agents gave me two wrong phone numbers for the baggage company. When I finally got the right one on my third call, OF COURSE, no one answers and I still do not have any information on when my bags should arrive. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL operations by Lufthansa and Air Dolomiti. I will make sure I book any other air carriers on the rest of my flights to Italy this year.

Their service , specifically the way Lufthansa manages luggages is terrible
