Civitavecchia disembarkation - FCO flight to Canada

[Shadow9612]

Have a flight from FCO to Canada (terminal 3) on a Friday at 13:10 in summer.

 

Would appreciate hearing ideas/recommendations on how to plan the morning based on your past experiences.

 

Ship scheduled to dock at Civitavecchia at 5:00am.

 

-Self disembark early and private transfer?

-Stay on ship as long as possible and take ship transfer to FCO?

-arrange some stop/visit somewhere enroute from port to FCO (if so, where ??)

 

When should I plan to arrive at FCO?

 

Any feedback is appreciated.

You don't need to be at the airport until 11 AM, and you'll be kicked off the ship well before that. A ship's transfer will work for you, although you'll probably get to the airport well before 11 and wind up killing time there. That's easy to do, however, it's like a big shopping mall.

Don't nonstop flights to Canada require the Terminal 5 visit first? That can add a little time to the mix...

No, Canada does not require the same security clearance as the US or Israel. There was a short period of time during the repairs from the fire in T3 when some flights to Canada and China used T5, but things are back to normal now.
