With Man Utd through to the Champions League Final in Rome on Wednesday 27 May, and the possibility of Chelsea joining them (pending tonight's result), demand is high for fans looking to travel to the Italian capital in support of their team.

There are loads of different ways to get to Rome so there’s no reason why fans should miss out, but to get the best prices you will need to act fast.

Flights

There are direct flights to Rome’s two airports, Ciampino and Fiumicino, from around the UK and Ireland:

· Easyjet – Gatwick, Bristol and Newcastle

· Ryanair – Dublin, East Midlands, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Liverpool, Stansted, Shannon

· British Airways – Heathrow, Gatwick

· Alitalia – Heathrow

· Aer Lingus – Dublin

· Jet2 – Manchester, Leeds/Bradford

In addition there are many flights from all over the UK to other Italian cities including Bologna, Milan, Venice and Naples. Onward travel to Rome is easy either using the extensive rail network – book tickets via www.trenitalia.com – or by hiring a car.

There are also flight departures with the main European carriers such as Air France, Lufthansa and KLM to Rome via European cities such as Paris, Amsterdam and Frankfurt.

Use a comparison site like travelsupermarket.com to compare flight prices and get the best deal.

Train

Rome is easily reached via rail departing from London and connecting in Paris for onward travel to Italy. Check with Rail Europe for details.

Hotels

There will certainly be a lack of hotel rooms available in the city, so using a search engine such as travelsupermarket.com means you can search availability across a range of hotels in Rome. Prices per night currently start at over £60. As well as looking in Rome itself, search outside the city and travel in by rail, car or bus. The coastal area from Civitavecchia down to Anzio is a good option. There are also many campsites that can be used in easy access of the city.

I hope you get a 'good result'!
