        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Rome to Toronto?",

Air Canada, ITA Airways, Air Transat, and Ethiopian Airlines all operate daily nonstops, while Biman Bangladesh Airlines flies nonstop three days a week on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Air Canada runs the most frequencies with up to four departures a day, and typical nonstop fares range from about $587 to $873 round-trip.",

We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours. Carrier service and weekly frequencies are summarized from our flight-schedule database, which draws on published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data, and observed operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). Where available, on-time and cancellation rates come from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) Airline On-Time Performance dataset, and typical fares from the U.S. DOT Airline Origin and Destination Survey (DB1B), a quarterly 10% sample of tickets sold. Stop counts, connecting hubs, and per-airline prices are drawn from a large sample of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours. We group those fares by number of stops, by the hub airport a connection routes through, and by operating airline, and report each group's share of the sample alongside its lowest and median price.",

If you are a Canadian citizen traveling from Toronto to Rome, you do not need a visa for stays of up to 90 days within the Schengen area; however, starting in 2025, you will need to apply for ETIAS authorization before travel. Travelers of other nationalities should check specific visa requirements for both Canada and the Schengen area based on their citizenship."

Several shuttle bus companies, including Terravision and SIT Bus Shuttle, run direct services from Termini and other points, generally less expensive than the train but subject to traffic. Official white taxis provide door-to-door convenience with a fixed fare of €55 to the city center, while ride‑share and car‑sharing services are available at designated areas. Driving yourself is possible via the A91 motorway, with both short‑term and long‑term parking at the airport.",
