Deal alert: Fly to Italy from the US for $840 round-trip
If you’ve been waiting for a good sale on premium economy travel to Italy, now’s your time. Several airlines are now offering discounts — in some cases, as much as 50% — on premium economy tickets to iconic Italian destinations such as Florence, Milan, Rome and Venice.
Paying for premium economy usually means you’ll get to enjoy perks like extra legroom and free checked luggage — a great way to kick off your Italian vacation. And thankfully, the discounted fares in this sale involve a variety of cities across the U.S. (not just major East Coast travel hubs like Boston, New York and Washington, D.C.) and include places such as Minneapolis, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle.
Availability and total costs vary widely by route. Some fares, specifically for routes involving two stops each way, are even lower than the ones highlighted below. Discounted prices are available for travel slated between June 2024 and May 2025. Select fares include holidays, and most flights in this deal have layovers.
