意大利境內航班 Travel within Italy ( Trasportare in Italia)


內陸航班

到歐洲旅行,我通常都會有一程內陸機要搭。當然,也一定會選擇一些廉價航空公司,如Ryan Air, EasyJet等,呢類航空公司通常在出發日期前早幾個月,會有特價,有時可以是9磅一程! 加埋行李費、行政費、上網預訂費等等,數百元便有!!


但在意大利,有時意大利國家航空公司意大利航空(Alitalia)也不太貴,而且始終是大航空公司,假如廉航不是特別便宜,也值得試試Alitalia!


不過,買Alitalia機票,也有些少「tricky」位就是你要選Alitalia意大利文網站,一般價錢會教International、美國、英國版本便宜很多! 我之前試過也是的~ 但近來再上去網站看看~就好像沒有問題了~ 但如果有時間~不妨試試比較一下~

還有就是行李重量問題~

雖然廉航好像較便宜,但SHOW出來的只是機票價錢,還沒有交行政費, 行李寄倉費, 上網CHECK-IN費 (而且大多是要你網上CHECKIN, 不可以在機場CHECK-IN的), 所以加起來最後也可能和ALITALIA 一樣價錢~!

但ALITALIA 和一般大航空公司一樣,行李也包括至少20KG 的可寄倉行李,. 而不用另行購買! 所以如果是要去長途旅行而又帶/買很多東西的話,價錢若是差不多, 我也會選擇ALITALIA呢! 因為廉航的行李費是按重量計算的, 由15KG, 20KG 不等!

Mainland Flight
For most of my trips in Europe, it usually includes a trip with mainland flight. Most of the times, budget airlines, such as Ryan air, Easyjet, are the best choices, these kinds of airlines usually have some special promotions, like 9Euro tickets for purchasing tickets few months in advance. It just costs you a few hundred dollars (HKD) after adding the baggage, administration, online check-in fee, etc.

However, in Italy, the national airlines - Alitalia is also one of the airlines we should consider when planning our trip. Sometimes, its fare are quite competitive with those budget airlines.


However, there is a "tricky" tool when searching the flight details on Alitalia website. In the past, there was chance that the fares for the same route shown in the Italian website is much cheaper than the fares shown in its Internationa/ US/ England version. I booked a ticket from Rome to Cantania which just costed around 60 Euro while it costed 99Euro in Internaitonal website. I tried again recently but it seems this problem is removed (or no longer exist) anyway, if you have time, suggest you can go to have a look and compare the prices before making any booking!

Another issue is the baggage problem~


Although budget airlines are usually cheaper than Alitalia, but the fare it shows is the flight fee, excluding administration, baggage, online check-in fee, etc (Please be reminded that you have to check-in online instead of at the airport or you will be fined!), therefore, the total price may be just similar to the fare at Alitalia!

However, like other big airlines, the fare of Alitalia is already included 20 kg baggage allowance and you don't have to spend a penny if your luggage is not over-weighted. So this is much convenience for those, especially who like to buy souvenirs during the trip, that they may carry heavier luggage! (As you have to pay the baggage fee according to the weight, e.g. 15kg, 20kg for budget airlines in advance)
