The journey to the Treviso Airport was around 1.5 hours, going towards the northern side of Venice mainland. It was a low-cost terminal catering mainly for Ryanair flights. The size was fairly small, maybe comparable to our Sibu Airport. You can view the landing and takeoff clearly from the waiting area. The turnaround time was very quick, possibly in 30 minutes time. If you don't see your plane there half an hour before takeoff, then it's confirmed there will be a delayed flight.

Ryanair was one of the famous low-cost airline, the other being easyjet. The plane seat configuration was the same as Airasia of 3 seats at both sides. But there were 2 interesting things that we noticed; 1) the seats doesn't have a pouch in front and the safety instructions were pasted on the back portion of the seat in front. 2) one of the stewardess was barely 5 ft. The Ryanair stewardess seemed to be the happiest lot with their happy-go-lucky attitude compared to those from Qatar Airways, easyjet or Vueling.
We reached Rome at night, and landed at the low-cost terminal Ciampino Airport that was located nearer to city centre. Since there were no metro or train from Ciampino to city centre, the most economical way was by bus. The pre-booked ticket was cheaper at E6/pax, but you can also buy from the driver at E8/pax. The bus stopped at Termini station, the main transport hub for the Romans.
Going to our hostel, E&S Rooms, we only need to take the metro south-bound to the next station, Vittorio Emmanuel. The hostel was located at the top floor of a 4-storey apartment building and the owner renovated it tastefully with colourful elements and Ikea in mind. You will be surprised to see both their bathrooms. The room price per night was E52.50, and it can fit 2 person comfortably.
