Why fly business class to Rome?
Rome Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport (FCO) is Italy's largest and best-connected gateway, served by carriers from Australia via the Middle East, Singapore, and other major hubs. The journey from eastern Australia spans 22–24 hours, and arriving in Rome rested — rather than exhausted from a full day of travel — meaningfully improves the start of any Italian trip, whether for business or leisure.
Italy is one of Australia's most popular long-haul leisure markets, and Business Class Global has substantial experience sourcing competitive premium cabin fares to Rome. We access wholesale and promotional inventory that is rarely visible to consumers, and we structure itineraries to maximise the overall experience rather than simply finding the cheapest fare in isolation.
Airlines and routing options
Emirates routes via Dubai to Rome Fiumicino, offering a strong business class product and access to their flagship Dubai lounge. Etihad routes via Abu Dhabi. Singapore Airlines routes via Singapore, and Lufthansa and Swiss offer options via Frankfurt and Zurich respectively, with Alitalia (rebranded as ITA Airways) also operating on certain itineraries.
Qatar Airways via Doha is another competitive option offering their acclaimed Qsuite business class product on select aircraft, providing one of the most private and comfortable business class experiences available on this corridor.
Rome and the Italian network
Rome Fiumicino is connected to Roma Termini (central station) by the Leonardo Express train — 32 minutes. From Termini, Italy's high-speed Frecciarossa rail network connects to Milan, Florence, Venice, Naples, and other major cities. Business travellers and leisure visitors alike benefit from the accessibility of this network. Our team can structure broader Italian itineraries on request.
