Flights from California to Italy: the best tips from KAYAK users

Insights shared by verified travelers who flew the route from California to Italy 
Verified travelerFlew with ITA AirwaysSFO-FCODec 2024
Fly TAP. The Portuguese people are some of the nicer people in this world. The Italians are pompous and know they have the pope and some of the best food in this world and people will put up with there crabby ways to come to Italy. I do have to say that the weather is warmer here at the end of December than it is in the San Francisco Bay Area.(this was very surprising)..

Pack light as they only allow one carry-on weighing 17 lbs or less. Economy seats are typical in that they are smaller with not much leg room and only tilt back to 120 degrees
RavieFlew with ITA AirwaysSFO-FCOJul 2024
It looks great because it is a direct flight, but the seats are extremely uncomfortable and they oversell every flight!
