Unless you have a flying broom or a magic carpet, the only other way that you can avoid shelling out for Rome airfares is if you are a pilot or a flight attendant. Nothing beats getting there for free, but getting there for less does not sound so bad either. And if you know how and where to look, you can actually end up getting cheaper Rome airfares than usual.
Most tourists who are traveling on spur are less likely to find cheaper Rome airfare...
