Transportation FCO Airport ALERT- FYI increased travel time to Gates E31-E44 (Remote Gates) until March 2027
The Mods have also pinned this info in the sticky post at the top of the sub about tickets. If you haven't read that post yet we suggest you do so to review all the new info: https://www.reddit.com/r/ItalyTravel/comments/1icygbo/authorized_ticketaccess_websites_for_most_it/
FCO AIRPORT UPDATE FROM LATE 2026: work has begun at FCO to tear down the elevated train tracks that connect(ed) T3 to the outlying E31-E44 remote gates. You now have to walk quite a long way from the T3 Duty Free area past temporary gates & structures to a lower level bus pickup point. As most US flights depart from the above remote gates & all tend to be leaving around the same time (early to late AM), the bus wait lines can get very very long. You should budget AT LEAST 30+ minutes of wait & travel time to get from T3 to your gate via the bus. This construction will last until March 2027 (so they say, the actual date may be far longer as ADR works always take far far longer than planned).

There are limited services at the remote gates with only 1 semi-decent place to grab something to eat/drink- please don't get the disgusting pizza they have there it's an abomination: the sandwiches are just OK & yes the grumpy ladies serving coffee have always been that way. There are no lounges either as they're closed. Do your shopping at T3 and grab what you need there.
