How to check in for your flight
 Here
are some tips to minimize confusion and delays on your day of departure from
Leonardo da Vinci/Fiumicino Airport:
-
Know your departure terminal before leaving for the airport.
(Check with your airline, or see the terminal descriptions on
page 1 of this article.)
-
Before checking in, look for your flight's check-in
counter number on the electronic signs or monitors. (In many cases, an
airline and/or flight may be using more than one counter or wicket.)
For travelers to the U.S. or Israel:
-
If you're flying nonstop to the United States on a
U.S. airline or to Israel on El Al, you'll need to check in at Terminal
5. (From the Fiumicino Airport railroad station, follow the signs for
the Terminal 3 Departures or Partenze level. A free shuttle runs
from Terminal 3 to Terminal 5.)
-
If you're changing planes at a European airport on your way
back to the U.S. or Israel, you'll check in at Terminal 1, 2, or 3,
depending on your airline and connection city. (See
page 1.)
-
If you're traveling on a "codeshare" ticket, the airline
you're flying on may not be the one that sold you the ticket. For example,
the first leg of a Delta routing to the United States through Amsterdam will
be on KLM or Alitalia (departing from Terminal 1), while a direct Delta
flight to New York or another U.S. city will leave from Terminal 5.
