Rome–Fiumicino International Airport, also named Leonardo Da Vinci Airport, opened in 1960. It is one of the busiest airports in Europe and it can get horrendously busy. Rome has some of the best airport lounges in the world for food with fresh pizza and pasta being cooked up in front of you, but which is best if have a Priority Pass or relevant credit card?
Fiumicino Airport has three terminals; T1, T3, and T5 but T5 is currently closed so all flights use T1 or T3. Schengen passengers, flying between 26 European countries have access to different lounges from non-Schengen passengers.
