Didn't get a lot of sleep - and were all wide awake looking at the deep, sparkling snow when we stop

I will be in Rome for five days and then going to Paris for five days. What is the best way to get the airport? taxi or shuttle any suggestions. Also does anyone know how or who I should contact to book a flight from Rome to Paris? Thank you so much...cyndee
Have you considered taking overnight trains that run the route and can cost really low if you book far enough in advance - much cheaper than flying since you save on a night in a hotel and save time as well as even flying takes up to half a day getting to airports and back in and that also adds to the cost.
Anyway in case you did not realize there was such a train - www.thello.com is the name of the train company with things like 59 euro or cheaper sleeping berths and train fare included if you book well enough in advance.
For lots of great info on overnight trains and accommodations on them in general I always spotlight these IMO fantastic sites - www.seat61.com ; www.ricksteves.com and www.budgeteuropetravel.com . But some folks just cannot sleep on overnight trains, even in the most comfy of compartments due to the inherent bit of noise from train tracks, etc so if a light sleeper fly.
I'm a big advocate of train travel in Europe, but in this case I recommend that you fly. If you book well in advance, fares on budget airlines are very cheap. exotic car rental in san diego You can fly from FCO (Fiumicino) to ORY (Orly) on either easyJet or Vueling for less that $50 US. However, you'll have to pay for checked baggage.
Train fares all inclusive can be as low as 39 euros p.p. - this plus saving say $150 or so the average Fodorite hotel means taking the train will be much much cheaper or could be depending on how early you book than flying and again save a half-day of sightseeing. Board in central Rome, get off in central Paris.
The OP needs to know that it can be very difficult to get discount faretickets for the new Thello service because the allotted number of seats sell out quickly. Booking is available up to 120 days in advance at either trenitalia.com or thello.com .
We had a 6 berth couchette (5 of us) - I had booked the extra seat under our dog's name, and there was no fuss when I indicated one of our passengers hadn't come for the trip (assumed that this type of strategic booking is fairly common).
Didn't get a lot of sleep - and were all wide awake looking at the deep, sparkling snow when we stopped at the Swiss border - but it was certainly much more comfortable than trying to doze on a long flight.
thank you all so much, i am sure i will be reaching out again, since i am a 'seasoned bride' on her honeymoon, and dont now about the train, will checkin at the prices for flying. thank you again.cyndee
If you want privacy on the night train, it comes at a price. A bed in a 2-person sleeper costs 180. There are no discount fares for sleeper beds. Cheap tickets on a budget airline plus a night in a hotel will cost a lot less than 360. That's why I said in my previous post that unless you are willing to share a couchette with strangers and get discount fare tickets in a 4-person couchette, you'll be better off flying.
well yes it depends of course on whether or not you want privacy - I always travel in multi-berth couchettes and have always found the folks there nice folks - have had some really interesting discussions - a great way to meet Europeans - so yes it depends on privacy exotic car rental in san diego or not and most find couchettes just dandy and a travel experience.
You didnt say when you were traveling but you can fly with Ryan Air for as low as 24 USd the website is www.ryanair.com or you can fly with Vueling for as low as 51 USD and the website is www.vueling.com or you could go with Easy Jet for 59 USD and the website is www.easyjet.com I would also have a look on www.skyscanner.com as this will give you the cost for all European exotic car rental in san diego Airline companies.
