      I never experienced that and I've been via Fiumicino close to 10 times.
      It is rome/italys major airport so sure it will get the most foot traffic and flights.

      I had worst experiences catching the Eurostar from France to the UK and being in line for a few hours,

      I was there recently. The queue through passport control was a bit organic, but the long line moved very fast and we certainly didn't beat our luggage to the baggage collection anyway. EPassport will obviously help.

      Baggage section was more wild than anywhere in Australia, but no issues other than a few smokers.

      Paid 60 euro for a hotel transfer. Definitely worth it. Mercedes Benz going 145km, driver barely spoke English. Good times.

      When you travel to Italy you need to live on "Italian time" which basically means they do what they do whenever they feel like doing it.

      It is how they got to where they got to.

        Agreed, embrace it. On my last trip to Europe, the only issues I ran into transit wise was when I landed back at Melbourne. 50 min delay for luggage, public toilets resembling a crime scene and a 400m line to get onto the airport parking bus (took another 45 mins at least) and also, it was freezing cold. Why do I live in this dump of a city again?

        • jakeau on 20/07/2023 - 20:17

          Yep.

    • Seaman Jones on 20/07/2023 - 09:37

      Same could have been said for Sydney on Monday morning. I waited 90 minutes amid disorganised chaos, signage that didn't match the queues and staff issuing confusing directions. Granted I was flying with kids and had to wait 90 minutes with all the other families who couldn't use the e-lanes but even those were congested and took IMO far longer than necessary to clear. I had been critical of the US while away as I waited a long time for immigration, 90 minutes to progress with all the other foreigners while the US citizens had literally five times as many gates open for a third the number, but frankly Sydney was just as bad and it was my own country!

    • RiseAndRuin on 20/07/2023 - 09:52

      Much better than Melbourne, where every time I come back I spend 2+ hours in a queue just to be told I don't actually need to get my bags checked, and that is after an average of an hour waiting to get my bags and all the other hurdles.

    • smoothymcmellow on 20/07/2023 - 11:12

      Just got back from Italy, had saved up points so was flying business with Qantas.

      Express check in, all quick, security quick, happy days.

      Got to passport control, it was utter chaos, there was a line for non-euro passports however people just walked past it and merged further ahead, I was watching hundreds of people getting ahead of me because staff didn't direct properly and I was estimating over an hour to get through and a never ending stream of people pushing in meant it would be even longer.

      I saw some families with kids getting directed to another line so I asked why they got to go ahead but we didn't, they then let me through with my family.

      20 in front of me in a line for the individual border control guy, he decides to close his lane and just throws his hands in the air and says to join another queue. So it added another 15mins

      Definitely the worst airport on my trip and their processes and staff can't handle peak season

    • Cappa87 on 20/07/2023 - 11:17

      I think it took me a grand total of 20 mins from the moment i walked out of the plane to the moment I walked out of the terminal last time I went. Passport check was completely automated.

    • Kontiki on 20/07/2023 - 21:50

          As if you can't do both…. Couple of camping trips in Australia and an overseas trip as well.

          Like mentioned before, Italy is one of the most amazing countries for a holiday. I reckon everyone should go there at least once.
          They got everything I can think of as a tourist:
          - Mountains & valleys
          - Best-in-class lakes
          - Beaches
          - Cities
          - Countryside
          - Volcanoes
          - Amazing, civilization-shaping history
          - Mind-blowing architecture, from modern to thousands of years old
          - Mediterranean cuisine that is so much more than pasta and pizza
          - Nightlife
          - Shopping

      Before covid about 9 million tourists visited Australia. Last year 594 million people visited Europe.

      So no, not everyone is trying to come to Australia.

          Probably how far away we are from the rest of the world, also the size of the country doesn't make it an ideal place to visit for a week or two unless you stay in one place.

          Not sure really, just making these up,

              @U30004: Sorry, seems like you have a lot of questions that I don't have the answer to. Most people don't want to move overseas, I am not one of those as I moved here from Europe and have no plans on going back.

              Just wanted to point out that not everyone comes to or wants to come to Australia. A lot of countries have lots of tourists and people emigrating and think "Everyone wants to come to my country" when in reality they are spread out across the world.

                You clearly have no experience with tyrannical regimes. This is a country that can put you in prison for drinking a glass of wine on the plane, I'm sure they have no problem locking you up for trying to travel to declared prohibited areas.

        I've been travelling between Melbourne and Rome a couple of times a year for a decade now. On a few occasions I had to use Etihad (for last minute bookings it's the only one that always have plenty of available seats, guess why…) and it has consistently been the worst airline from all points of view.
        They've done pretty much everything including cancelling my return flight a few years ago, without even notifying me, and I only found out the day before, when I contacted them because the online check in wasn't working for me. They didn't apologize, but instead offered me a seat on another flight a few days later, at twice the original price, which I obviously declined.
        I don't think I know anyone who ever had anything good to say about them.

    I bought one of those tickets recently based on the free night in AUH. It ended up costing me more because the hotel was shown as "not available". You can't book the hotel until you have a ticket and once you buy the ticket its too late to cancel if you can't get the hotel. So I ended up spending more time travelling and had to pay for a hotel overnight which was just a pain.

      Wow, That's a rubbish experience!
      I've had Korean Airlines give similar warnings about you potentially may not get a room, at our discretion, etc, but they've done it no problems the two times we've qualified (flying Korean return to Europe). If they actually refused, I'd be really quite annoyed, and would never fly that airline again.

    Expired already? I tried the 3rd and 4th options from the Melbourne table, and none give those prices via Etihad. The cheapest on the 3rd is $1453 (not $1119) on a 57h flights concoction, including Etihad, yes, but also AirAsia, VietJet and Whizz Air. The cheapest on the 4th is actually cheaper — $1043, not $1120 — but via China Eastern, not Etihad. The cheapest Etihad flight on that 4th option is $1699, and again involving Scoot and Whizz. What am I doing wrong?
