Rome travel guide: Employee advice for your next trip to Italy’s capital city

Alaska Airlines toy aircraft in Rome

Nobody knows travel quite like an airline employee, and Rome is no exception. From navigating ancient ruins to discovering Italian culture and language, these firsthand tips from Alaska Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines and Horizon Air employees will help any traveler make the most of their first – or return – trip to the Eternal City.

What to know before you go to Rome

Have spare euros on hand. “A lot of places still prefer cash. Make sure to have smaller notes and coins.” – Chona, marketing, Anchorage, Alaska

Parla Italiano? “Learn the language!” – Iris, customer service, Cabo, Mexico

Pack light. “Pack your bag, then take out a third of what you packed. Rome has lots of cobblestone streets, as well as many buildings with only stairs, so dragging a huge, heavy bag won’t be fun. Plus, Rome has amazing shopping, so you’ll want to save room in your bag.” – Jeannie, flight attendant, Seattle, Washington

Back to top

What to know while you’re in Rome

Be patient and flexible. “Expect crowds, but remember to take time to calm down and enjoy. Have a plan, but don’t stress if you don’t end up doing everything.  – Rasela, customer service, Kahului, Maui

Visit popular sites during off-peak hours. “The Vatican is almost always crowded, so take the opportunity to tour the museums at night with a friend! The crowds are a fraction of the size, and they dim the lights, so you’ll feel like you’re in Night at the Museum.” – Mike, flight attendant, San Diego, California

Pack comfortable – and stable – walking shoes. “The streets of Rome are paved with cobblestones. They are infamous for being slippery and uneven. Make sure you wear appropriate footwear when you’re exploring the city.” – Jason, flight attendant, San Francisco, California

Research and download helpful apps. “In Rome, or in any country, the app Flush will be your best friend to find a public bathroom. The app WiFi Map is also very handy when traveling and trying to save on phone data usage.” – Rachel, customer service, Portland, Oregon

Carry a reusable water bottle and use public drinking fountains. “Rome has over 2,500 drinking fountains (nasoni) and the water is fresh, cold and safe to drink. Just type in “nasoni” into Google Maps or download the app Waidy WOW to find them!” – Caroline, dispatch, Seattle, Washington

Be mindful of dress codes. “Some museums and attractions have strict dress codes; be prepared to either purchase something or do your research ahead of time.” – Michael, aircraft maintenance, Kahului, Maui

For some, no plan is the best plan. “Arrive with a city map and no plans. Just walk and take in as much Roman history, culture and FOOD!” – Walt, pilot, Everett, Washington

Getting around Rome and to nearby towns

Use public transportation. If you drive, know the rules of the road. “Take the train or public transportation whenever possible. If you do end up renting a car, many small towns have days and times when you cannot drive on their streets. Watch the signs closely as they ticket all the time. DO NOT go over the speed limit at all – even if others are passing you at high rates of speed. We also use a black car service to go between Rome and Cortona/Tuscany. If you have three or more in your group, it totally pays.”  – Alan, flight attendant, Seattle, Washington

Prepare yourself for traffic. “If you’re on a shuttle or tour bus, have snacks and things to do while sitting and waiting in traffic.” – Leimomi, customer service, Honolulu, Oʻahu

Not all tours require wheels. “Go on a guided or self-guided walking tour. You see so much of the city by doing that!” – Cadie, inflight services, Seattle, Washington

Support a local guiding business. “If you have a limited amount of time, hire a private guide. Not only can they get you to all the highlights of Rome in just a few hours, but they also often give local recommendations for meals and treats.” – Sara, human resources, Seattle, Washington

Where to stay and play in Rome

Consider Quartiere III Pinciano. “I prefer to stay in the Quartiere III Pinciano / Rome Claridge area, just north of the Villa Borghese. Not only is it less expensive, but the tram runs right along Viale Liegi down to the Vatican.” – Kent, dispatch, Honolulu, Oʻahu

Stay in Trastevere. “Stay in Trastevere! It’s such a dreamy neighborhood with old-world charm but gelato on every corner.” – Tricia, corporate communications, Seattle, Washington

Do the classics – but also consider venturing out. “See the Colosseum, the Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon, the Spanish Steps and the Vatican. If you have time, take the train to Florence, Pisa, Pompeii, Sorrento, Positano and the Amalfi Coast. If you go to Florence, visit the Galleria dell’Accademia, home of the David statue. Pompeii is a short train ride from Rome and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Also, around Pompeii, there are several Limoncello makers nearby as well as olive oil producers.” – Amanda, customer service, Portland, Oregon

Keyholes, Caesar and…cats? “Hike up to the Avetine Hill and find the door with a keyhole for a perfectly framed view of the Vatican. Visit the Torre Argentina Cat Sanctuary in Rome, which is the same location where Julius Caesar was assassinated.” – Darren, e-commerce, Seattle, Washington

Don’t forget about hidden history. “There is an underground archeological area called Vicus Caprarius – The Water City. It is an old aqueduct that feeds the Trevi Fountain. You need to make a reservation to see it.” – Kristen, reservations, Phoenix, Arizona

Say “sì, sì, certo” to classes and tastings. “I went a couple of years ago and took a small trip to Frascati (about a 45-minute train) and took a cooking class that came with wine. They were awesome, and I still make fresh pasta once a week or so. The wine windows in Florence are super cool, and the Mortadella Lab in Bologna is a must. If you can swing it, a balsamic tour in Modena is great too.” – Zach, pilot, Seattle, Washington

How to wine and dine in Rome

Order pizza with a side of wine. “I had the best pizza at Dar Poeta in the Trastevere neighborhood. Have the pizza and don’t forget the house wine!” – Lori, corporate communications, Seattle, Washington

Learn how to spot the real stuff. “Look for the gelato shops with the metal containers – not the flashy, colorful toppings. You will know the authentic gelato shop by the nondescript metal containers.” – James, customer service, Chicago, Illinois

Respect the pasta. Eat the pasta. “Don’t miss the fresh pasta at Roscioli — a beloved Roman institution that’s part deli, part restaurant, and entirely worth the hype. Come hungry, order carbonara and prepare yourself for one of the best meals in the city. Reservations book up fast, so book ahead if you can. If you can’t snag a table, visit the shop during the day or pop next door to the bakery for a just-as-delicious experience.” – Carter, marketing, Seattle, Washington

Don’t skip the delis. “Make it a point to spend time lingering in the local delis. Pair Chianti with cheeses like smoked mozzarella – and if you are feeling adventurous, ask for smoked mozzarella on your pizza. I promise it will elevate every bite in a way that is uniquely Italian.” – Shirene, e-commerce, Seattle, Washington

Alaska Air Group announces pricing of senior notes offering

AAG banner

Alaska Air Group, Inc. (the “Company”) today announced the pricing of the previously announced private offering (the “Offering”) of $500 million aggregate principal amount of 6.5% senior notes due 2031 (the “Notes”) by Alaska Airlines, Inc. (“Alaska”). The Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company.

The Company also announced that its indirect wholly owned subsidiary, AS Mileage Plan IP Ltd. (“Loyalty Issuer”), expects to incur a new incremental tranche of $500 million senior secured term loans (the “Incremental Term Loan Facility” and, together with the Notes, the “Financings”) under the Term Loan Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of October 15, 2024 (the “Existing Term Loan Facility”).

Alaska intends to close the Financings on or about May 12, 2026, subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions. Alaska intends to use the borrowings under the Incremental Term Loan Facility, after deducting fees and expenses payable by the Company, (i) to fund the reserve account for the Incremental Term Loan Facility and (ii) to fund a collection account, and the proceeds deposited into the collection account will be used to make an intercompany loan to Alaska on the closing date of the Offering (the “Intercompany Loan”). Alaska intends to use the proceeds from the Intercompany Loan and the Offering for general corporate purposes.

The Incremental Term Loan Facility will be (i) fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured basis, jointly and severally, by Alaska and AS Mileage Plan Holdings Ltd. and on an unsecured basis by the Company (together, the “Guarantors”) and (ii) secured, on a senior, first-priority basis by the Guarantors’ right, title and interest in certain collateral associated with Alaska’s customer loyalty program, Atmos Rewards, which also secures Loyalty Issuer’s existing $625 million 5.021% senior secured notes due 2029 and the $625 million 5.308% senior secured notes due 2031 (collectively, the “Loyalty Notes”). The Incremental Term Loan Facility will be secured on an equal and ratable basis with the Existing Term Loan Facility and the Loyalty Notes and will rank pari passu in right of payment with the Existing Term Loan Facility and the Loyalty Notes.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes or any other securities and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration and qualification under the securities laws of such state or jurisdiction. The Notes are being offered only to persons reasonably believed to be “qualified institutional buyers” in an offering exempt from registration in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes offered will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States without registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws.

Wine country goes west

Alaska was the first carrier to bring commercial service to Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma County Airport (STS) nearly two decades ago and has remained the largest airline serving Santa Rosa. Salt Lake City and Boise, both currently unserved markets from the North Bay, will connect guests to the slopes just in time for ski season to kick off. Phoenix rounds out the route map with a popular destination that brings the current nonstop total from Santa Rosa to 12.

Earth Month at Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines: Celebrating innovation, sustainability and community

One Roof Clean Up Seattle Kraken Alaska Airlines

Summary

Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines marked Earth Month by engaging employees, nonprofit partners and guests in sustainability initiatives, community volunteer efforts and incentives that support year‑round improvements in fuel and energy efficiency. 

The company also earned recognition for environmental performance and innovation at Seattle‑Tacoma International Airport, while also advancing sustainable aviation fuel adoption through Atmos Rewards, with member contributions supporting its pathway to net‑zero emissions.

Sustainability and care are integral to the way Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines operate. The combined carrier has long remained focused on flying more efficiently and investing in new technologies to reduce its environmental impact, while leveraging its people and resources to support the communities it serves.

Throughout Earth Month, Alaska and Hawaiian engaged employees and nonprofit partners to support environmental and community work across its network, and rewarded guests who contributed to the use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). These efforts support its ongoing, year-round initiatives to improve fuel and energy efficiency across its flight and ground operations.

Leader in environmental performance and innovation

In April, the Port of Seattle recognized Alaska with two Sustainable Century Awards, which recognize outstanding sustainability and equity efforts at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) in 2024 and 2025.

The Port awarded Alaska with its Environmental Performance and Innovation Award, applauding the carrier’s commitment to green design, construction and energy management at its global hub by “blending sustainability with their vision to modernize customer-facing leased space.”

Over the years, Alaska has made consistent, voluntary investments in its facilities at SEA, which have received a U.S. Green Building Council LEED Silver certification.

As Seattle’s hometown airline, we are making significant investments at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport – our busiest hub that is growing to become our global gateway. Our North Main Terminal Renovation Project reflects our commitment to improving the airport experience for our guests and employees in a modern building that also maximizes environmental performance as part of our sustainability goals.”

Ryan Spies

Managing director of sustainability, Alaska Airlines

Another significant win, Alaska was recognized with the Greatest Use of Ground Power and Pre-Conditioned Air Systems Award for conserving energy use by aircraft while parked at gates, with “91% of operations connecting to the ground power system and 76% of operations connecting to the pre-conditioned air system,” according to the Port.

Alaska and Hawaiian, alongside the community

Employees across the combined company spent Earth Month supporting seven nonprofit partners dedicated to strengthening communities and caring for the environment in Hawaiʻi and throughout the West Coast.

Volunteers rolled up their sleeves to beautify local neighborhoods, remove invasive plants, restore wetlands, build gardens and engage youth in collaboration with One Roof Foundation (Washington), Mountains to Sound Greenway Trust (Washington), Kākoʻo ʻŌiwi (Hawaiʻi), Children’s Museum of Phoenix (Arizona), SOLVE (Oregon), Adopt a Pathway (Alaska) and Living Campus Garden (California).

Atmos™ Rewards and the future of sustainable aviation fuel

Throughout April, Atmos Rewards members received a special bonus when contributing toward the scaling and production of SAF. Members who helped the carrier purchase SAF during Earth Month earned three status points for every $1 contributed.

(Editor’s note: Members can contribute to SAF year-round and earn one status point for every $1 contributed.)

Engaging our guests in SAF initiatives is critical to raising awareness and scaling production to meet the industry’s needs. We appreciate our guests’ contributions and will continue identifying high-reward opportunities for our guests and Atmos Rewards members to help fuel our sustainability journey.”

Ryan Spies

Managing director of sustainability, Alaska Airlines

In 2023, Alaska partnered with Chooose to become the first U.S. passenger airline to offer guests the ability to earn status points by helping offset carbon emissions through SAF contributions. Since then, over 100,000 guests have supported SAF, which can lower life-cycle carbon emissions by up to 80% compared to traditional jet fuel and is a key lever in its five-part path to net-zero carbon emissions by 2040.

Statement on Congress passing a bill to reopen DHS

Alaska-AirGroup-Featured

Alaska Airlines appreciates Congress finally passing a bill to reopen the Department of Homeland Security and pay TSA and customs officers after a lengthy, 75-day shutdown.

This funding only stretches through the end of September. To prevent further impacts on the aviation industry, its employees and the communities we serve, it’s essential that Congress approve bipartisan legislation requiring federal aviation workers – including air traffic controllers and TSA officers – to continue being paid if another shutdown occurs. 

This recent, unprecedented shutdown saw TSA workers go weeks without a paycheck and more than 1,000 screening officers leave DHS altogether. This is not the way to operate the world’s safest aviation system.

Benvenuti! Alaska Airlines launches historic first nonstop flight between Seattle and Rome

Rome-Seattle inaugural

Summary

Alaska Airlines launches Seattle’s firstever nonstop flight to Rome, celebrating its expansion into Europe and a major milestone in its growth as a global carrier. The seasonal, daily service begins April 28 and runs through Oct 23 

Alaska’s international business class Suites experience debuts just in time for new service to Rome, underscoring the carrier’s commitment to elevating the onboard experience as it expands its international footprint across Asia and Europe. 

Alaska Airlines today marks a major milestone with the launch of its inaugural nonstop flight between Seattle and Rome, the first-ever direct connection between the Emerald City and the Eternal City.

The new service signals Alaska’s official expansion into Europe and reinforces its role as a global carrier, further establishing Seattle as a premier international gateway for Alaska Airlines.

Launching our first flight to Europe is a significant step in executing our longterm growth strategy. Service to Rome expands how we connect our guests to the world, strengthens Seattle’s role as a global gateway and is made possible by our people who deliver safety, care and performance with every flight. Andiamo! 

Ben Minicucci

CEO, Alaska Air Group

Alaska’s seasonal service to Leonardo da Vinci Rome Fiumicino Airport (FCO) is available through Oct. 23, offering guests the only daily nonstop flight from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) to Rome. The flight departs Seattle at 5:30 p.m. and arrives in Rome at 1:15 p.m., giving guests a full afternoon to begin exploring one of the world’s most sought-after destinations, from historic streets to rolling vineyards and iconic coastal views. Westbound flights depart from Rome at 3:25 p.m. and arrive in Seattle at 5:45 p.m., inviting Italian guests to experience the Pacific Northwest’s renowned food and wine scene and breathtaking natural landscapes.  

This new European service will also enable some of the best connectivity between Hawai‘i to and from Europe with just one stop through Seattle, benefiting Hawai‘i-based travelers and opening a new European visitor gateway to the Hawaiian Islands.

Alaska Airlines’ new direct flight to Rome opens one of the largest unserved markets for SEA for both leisure and business travelers. Creating this new link between Italy and the Pacific Northwest will allow travelers on both sides of the connection to explore our shared passions for cuisine, culture, and natural beauty.”  

Ryan Calkins

President, Port of Seattle Commission

We are pleased to welcome Alaska Airlines to Rome Fiumicino, marking an important milestone as the airline launches its first European destination. This new nonstop service to Seattle, the first-ever scheduled connection between the two cities, strengthens our position as a leading gateway between Europe and North America, particularly to the U.S. Pacific region. The route reflects our continued focus on growing high-value intercontinental connectivity that supports economic development, benefits local communities and enhances the competitiveness of Italy’s national economy.” 

Ivan Bassato

Chief aviation officer , Aeroporti di Roma

The new Rome service also advances Alaska Airlines’ growing global cargo business. Beginning April 28, Alaska will become the first U.S. passenger airline to offer daily nonstop cargo service between Seattle and Rome, strengthening trade connections between the Pacific Northwest and Italy and expanding the airline’s cargo network to 109 destinations worldwide.

Fly in style and comfort: Alaska’s new international business class Suites experience

Alaska Airlines recently debuted its new international business class Suites experience just in time for its expansion into Europe, marking yet another exciting milestone in the airline’s growing global network across Asia and Europe, with continued international expansion still ahead. The new nonstop to Rome is operated on a 7879 Dreamliner, featuring Alaska’s newly designed global livery and including 34 spacious business class Suites. 

Designed with international travelers in mind, the Suites experience reflects Alaska’s signature West Coast care and hospitality. The journey begins with a welcome service, followed by thoughtfully curated, multi‑course dining throughout the flight, such as a one-of-a-kind Salt & Straw dessert cart with customizable toppings and a regionally inspired, chef-curated meal served prior to landing. Guests also enjoy custom‑designed amenity kits with Salt & Stone travel necessities, and Filson plush bedding and pillows — ensuring comfort from departure to arrival. The international business class Suites experience is already flying to South Korea from Seattle and will be offered between Seattle and London when the year‑round, nonstop route launches May 21. The Suites experience will debut on Seattle–Tokyo service this fall with the return of the 787 to the market.

The check-in lanes are exclusive to Suites or Atmos™ Titanium guests with their immediate family, such as a spouse and children under 21, or up to two guests on the same reservation.

International upgrades are part of the experience for Alaska’s most loyal guests – the only US airline to offer this loyalty benefit.

Alaska Airlines debuts its first-ever onboard safety video for new global flights from Seattle on the Boeing 787 Dreamliner

Alaska Airlines safety video fish market

Summary

Alaska Airlines has debuted its first-ever safety video, which will be shown prior to departure on its long-haul Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft.

Guests traveling on the 787 Dreamliner from Seattle will also see a new welcome video from Alaska’s CEO Ben Minicucci – another first for the airline. 

Never in its 94-year history has Alaska Airlines created an onboard safety video. Until now.

The new safety video will be shown prior to departure on the seatback entertainment systems of Alaska’s widebody, long-haul Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft, connecting the airline’s growing global gateway in Seattle to an expanding number of international destinations.

More than 100 employees are featured in the video, with the airline’s flight attendants providing clear information and demonstrations of crucial safety procedures – with a generous dose of care and personality that Alaska is known for. An initial company-wide casting call drew nearly 1,200 responses from employees eager to be part of this first-ever moment for Alaska. 

Safety is always priority number one for us. Reminding our guests of key safety procedures is serious business, but we wanted to make sure  in our first onboard safety video  that we presented that in a very welcoming, engaging way, with the help of our employees who make us such a great airline.”

Eric Edge

Vice president of brand and marketing, Alaska Airlines

Using dynamic cinematography and advanced digital technology, the video travels the globe, including to the nonstop destinations served from Seattle on the 787-9: Tokyo, Seoul, Rome and London. Alaska plans to fly to 12 global markets from its hometown airport by 2030 as new 787 aircraft enter the fleet. 

Alaska partnered closely with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) during the production of the video to ensure the content met all requirements. A safety presentation before a flight is mandated by the FAA for all U.S. airlines. Outside of the 787-9, all inflight safety demonstrations on Alaska-branded flights are conducted in the cabin by flight attendants, who undergo continuous, rigorous safety training. 

Guests traveling on the 787 Dreamliner from Seattle will also see a new welcome video from Alaska’s CEO Ben Minicucci – another first for the airline.
