Checking in at the Rome Fiumicino International Airport was very easy. Fortunately, since I will be going to another European Union country, there was no need for any immigration control. This is a godsend as it helps to reduce the waiting time in airports. The only downside to that is that it makes it harder to track someone. The airport of Rome isn’t ultra modern unlike the airports I have been to. It looks old but it works so I don’t want to complain too much. There is a large shopping area here which made me remember to buy some stuff to bring back. I wasn’t really sure what to bring back from Italy since pasta is something that would be readily available wherever you are.

In the end I ended up buying silly stuff for some people. The rest of the time was spent on exploring the airport while waiting for my ride. There was a Ferrari shop there. Ferrari is an Italian brand, but I was still surprised to see it here. Italian or not, Ferrari stuff is guaranteed to be expensive. I just took a photo and moved on. Beyond the shopping area is the departure area. This is where people would be waiting for the boarding announcement. It was quite run down as well, and it looked like a provincial airport to me. Nothing really noteworthy here but I just wished that they offered more internet to passengers here. The time limited internet surfing isn’t really very good as passenger are sure to be here longer than the free internet lasts. Even if I don’t like the airport, I hope to be seeing this place more. Italy is a lovely place, and I would want to be able to explore more of it in the future.
