Book your bags ahead of time. The fees post-booking are absurd

Be prepared for confusion. The Delta boarding pass you get is actually not usable at JFK. You have to go to the ITA desk and get a paper ticket. Again something Delta doesn’t tell you. Poorly managed partnership

Your guide to booking New York to Rome flights

Get tips on when to book, when to fly and what to know before your trip.
  • If your dates are flexible, aim for a Monday departure and avoid flying on Saturday. On this route, Monday flights average $688, about $119 less than Saturday fares (15% savings) based on the last 12 months.
  • For the best chance at a low fare, aim to book around 26 weeks before you fly. On this route, that window historically saves about 4% versus last-minute pricing (KAYAK booking data, last 12 months).
  • If you can choose when to travel, plan your New York to Rome trip for January. Fares historically average $514 round-trip in that month - typically $441 less than the most expensive month, which is June (based on the last 12 months).
  • For the best chance of arriving on time, fly with Norse Atlantic Airways. Over the past three months, 84% of Norse Atlantic Airways flights from New York to Rome arrived on time, slightly above the route average of 81%. When flights on this route arrive late, they're delayed by an average of 3h 23m, so choosing an airline with strong on-time performance can make a difference if you're on a tight schedule.
  • If you have the time, taking a 1-stop flight through Vienna Intl Airport (VIE) can be cheaper than flying direct. The cheapest layover option averages $471 round-trip on this route - about $298 less than direct flights (based on the last 12 months).
  • If you're arriving late at night and need somewhere to stay, check out these hotels close to Rome Ciampino Airport.

  • Before departing from EWR, check whether you're flying from Terminal A, B or C. You can move between terminals using AirTrain in under 20 minutes. AirTrain serves Terminals B and C.

  • If you're flying American Airlines between John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and Rome, don't plan to bring a cat or dog in the cabin. If you're taking a checked pet to the EU, make sure its identification matches the vaccination card and check with the airline or immigration services about pet entry permits for Italy before you travel.
  • If you're flying to Rome from JFK, check your lounge options before departure. Terminal 4 has eight lounges, including airline, credit-card and pay-access options. Priority Pass members can use 8 lounges.
