  • Is a visa required before I can fly to Italy?

  • To stay closer to athletic events in Italy, which airport should I consider flying into?

Your guide to booking flights to Italy

Get tips on when to book, when to fly and what to know before your trip.
  • If you can plan ahead, the sweet spot for booking your flight is 5 weeks before your trip. KAYAK data shows fares in this window are around 2% lower than last-minute bookings (made within 2 weeks of departure). Not ready to commit? Set a Price Alert and we'll let you know when prices change.
  • If your dates are flexible, February usually has the best deals, while June tends to be the priciest. The best-time-to-travel chart on this page shows how prices move across the year.
  • Tuesday is usually the cheapest day to fly, about 12% cheaper than Friday, the priciest day. If your dates are flexible, that's an easy way to save. If not, try nearby airports or a layover instead.
  • If arriving on time matters more than price, consider flying with one of the most punctual airlines flying to Italy: Alaska Airlines, Icelandair, Neos Air, ITA Airways or Emirates.
  • If you're looking to save, Milan Malpensa (MXP) has had the lowest fares over the past 12 months. Just remember to factor in the cost of getting to your final destination.
  • Rome is the most popular destination in Italy. Start your trip here and then check out these other places KAYAK travelers love: Milan, Venice and Florence.
  • Consider a layover to Italy, it can cost less than flying nonstop. Oslo Gardermoen (OSL) is typically the cheapest place to connect.
  • Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport (FLE), otherwise known as Fiumicino Airport and Ciampino Airport (CIA), are the two international ports in the city of Rome that receive flights from the US to Italy.
  • Italy has several international airports in major cities such as Milan (Malpensa Airport- MXP), which is the main port of call to explore the northwestern cities of Genoa and Turin, while Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE) covers the northeastern areas of Trieste and Bologna.
  • In addition to being the main gateway to the Eternal City, Rome also sits in the middle of Italy, so its two airports can be considered twin launchpads for traveling to points north of the city, like Perugia and Florence, points to the south, like Naples, and Bari in the east.
  • The island of Elba lies off the western coast of Italy and is within reach from Florence Peretola Airport (FLR) in Tuscany, but if you intend to travel further south to the islands of Corsica and Sardinia, then you can fly from the US to either Rome Airport or Naples Airport and get local flights from there.
  • The Italian coastline that borders the Adriatic Sea is an area that, while off the beaten track, has proven tourist destinations from Trieste in the north via Venice, Rimini and Ancona in the central region, and Bari and Lecce in the south. Taking a flight into Venice, Rome or Naples allows you to access the cities and towns along this corridor.
  • When flying from the US to Italy, those with limited mobility should consider flying from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and landing at Rome-Fiumicino International Airport Leonardo da Vinci (FCO). Passengers with mobility issues and other special needs may request special assistance at LAX Airport, such as wheelchairs, medical and safety aid, as well as baggage assistance.
  • The best places to relax while waiting for flights to various locations are thought to be airport lounges. Most budget travelers choose flying from Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) as their departure airport of choice if they want to unwind at a cost-effective lounge before boarding their flights to Italy from the US. The Delta Sky Club lounge in SLC is a comfortable place for budget travelers to unwind before their flight.
  • Flying from John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to FCO on Delta Airlines or ITA 609 Airlines may be an ideal option for parents from the US who want to send their children on vacation to Italy. The JFK and FCO airports are served continuously by these airlines. Direct flights make it possible to travel from the US to Italy in the least period of time, lowering the risk that your children will be exhausted before they reach Italy.
  • If your flight from the US is expected to land in Italy at night and you're taking the SLC-Giovan Battista Pastine International Airport (CIA) route, you might want to think about booking accommodations close to the CIA Airport. Passengers that land in Italy at night can stay the rest of the night in the Pit Stop Ciampino station, which is two minutes' walk from the airport.
  • JFK & Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) are the two primary airports from which passengers looking to book direct flights from the United States to Italy can depart. These are the main hubs in the US from which United 40, Delta Airlines, and ITA 609 Airlines provide direct flights to the FCO Airport in Italy.

Excellent service, I love the soft blush pink mood lighting on the 767-400ER during meal service. The overhead gasper vents on the 767-400ER were also very strong with a lot of airflow to keep me comfortable on my flight.

Excellent service, I love the soft blush pink mood lighting on the 767-400ER during meal service. The overhead gasper vents on the 767-400ER were also very strong with a lot of airflow to keep me comfortable on my flight.

Our bag was lost so that made unnecessary chaos On our trip

More up to date movies and a live TV option like ESPN, Fox News or CNN. All they had were movies and Spotify Music and some games. Also, wifi on international flights isn't free for Skymiles members like on domestic flights via T-Mobile.

7 hour delay for mechanical reasons Handled badly by crew and delta personnel

Flight was canceled so it was not a great experience. Boarded, then deboarded. Delayed, boarded a new plane then deboarded the 2nd plane and flight was canceled. Then booked a fight to Rome and took a train to Venice the next day. Lost an entire day +

They split our family into two trips due to flight overbooking. Horrible experience.

The plane was FREEZING SEATS UNCOMFORTABLE Otherwise smooth Thank you

Lost luggage! No representative of the airline present at the airport. Air France contracted the service out to a 3rd party service. The service has no ability to track the missing bag or provide a time frame on its arrival.

Upon landing our breakfast were left, which means all the tray tables were were down for on landing . Isn’t there an FAA have rule about that

Crew was great. Food and entertainment was great. There was plenty of leg room sitting in a economy seat. That being said put thicker padding at the lower part of the seat. The person seated behind me was very tall and their knees were pushed into my back the entire flight. I understand having to move your legs but it was moving into my back for a 9 hour flight!

Old plane, no amenities. Very abrupt landing. Unnecessarily long taxi time.

Same day canceled, we were never informed and had to pay more with worse seating on another airline.

Flight itself excellent, but delayed so missed connection & got to destination 2 hrs later

Boarding was organized. Old plane. Seat fairly comfortable. Business Class much too large so you don’t receive as much attention as you should considering what you pay for the seat.

We were in business class. the angled seats in that class do not have a real window view & the placement of the controls are bad. But we knew that. But the food options were mediocre. The taste was fine, but the size was for a child. It’s just really feels like United is skimping on everything. Even when we were in the Polaris lounge they did not have diet sodas. They said they were out no Coke zero no Diet Coke, etc. I do not think the portion of nuts they serve on the plane could get any smaller. Really a minimal service and offer for what you’re paying for in business.

More water distribution throughout flight. Food quality poor and hot items delivered not hot on both attempts. Not United Standards

The Frankfurt airport is just not that easy to get around. Having to get from one end of the airport to the other when it was not well marked was a challenge. The flight itself was fine. I would fly with United again.

Air conditioning in the plane wasn’t working at boarding, this resulted in a delayed departure whilst they addressed the situation. The cabin was uncomfortably hot.

Flight was delayed for an hour and it caused a chain reaction to our connecting flight although we made it but we had to rush and run !!!! To top it off, all our luggages were DELAYED!!!!

Constant cancellations. One last minute cancellation after they bussed us to to plane. Then they sent me to France to get another connection. A total waste of time and energy

Overall seamless flight from SFO to FCO. I chose economy to have more money to spend while in Italy. The seats bottoms are a bit on the thin side but they give you a pillow and blanket so Inl used the blanket to thicken up the seat bottom. You have to have a physical boarding pass (at least for my flight) so that was interesting. Crew was nice, food was good and over pretty down the middle.

1 1/2 hours delayed boarding at JFK caused us to almost miss connecting flight in Rome. Only 30 minutes of time to run from one end of FCO to the other for connecting flight. Not very easy to do for older travelers.

Staff was nice but seat is not what I expected

Flew Premium Economy. The seats were comfortable and tilted back far enough to sleep. Food was okay and service friendly and efficient. We bought tickets through Kayak partner Underpricer and the price was good.

ITA has these new Airbus A330 Neo that hates economy class passengers. The seats have absolutely no cushion to a point where it hits your spine constantly and reminds you to fork out for premium economy or don’t travel next time. The food was absolutely horrible, ETA mentioned 3 meals for 12 hour flight but it was mostly 1 meal and 2 light snacks. I am vegetarian, so my 2’d food was 1 slice of tomato, 1 cucumber on a dry cold bun. The other 2 meals were disgusting. My young one threw up the entire time. Flight attendants were the cherry on top - plain bad. They would skip servicing drinks to some passengers completely and if you call for an attendant, they will come and stop the button on top without even asking you what you need. I would avoid ITA by all means - there are plenty of options including SAS for same routes with better seats and humane treatment.

Nice flight. Uneventful, very good crew, comfortable seats. Pleasant experience.

ITA cancelled fligh rebooked with Lufthansa. Flight good, but 2hour connection in Frankfurt was HORRIBLE, took 1.9 hours to get through scanner, customs, another security, got to gate after running all the way, so caught it but stressful and terrible start to trip.

The boarding process was organized and efficient, and the crew was friendly and attentive throughout the flight. Food and drinks were typical economy class, but good. The aircraft was old, and the restroom was not very clean. However, we arrived on time, so overall the experience was good.

In Prem Econ, safe and timely flight, good amount of space, mostly comfortable seats. Little irritants: When lying down, seat kept shifting on me...as a short person w/light weight, my seat often reverted to semi-upright. Footrest was broken. TV screen didn't work, after I asked a few times a FA rebooted it to work again. And food was marginal. I don't expect much from airplane food...surprisingly, ITA didn't even meet expectations.

Flight was canceled. Rebooked on Lufthansa Also Canceled. Had to pay 3000 more per person and fly Alaska to EWR and fly emirates to Athens.

Keep an eye on your seat assignments - ESPECIALLY if you paid for upgraded seats - the airline moved us out of our prepaid seats THREE TIMES and I could only resolve it by calling customer service - who was very helpful. Expect to carry your bags down several flights of stairs for boarding on the tarmac.

It was ok no problem on flight after the ordeal with passport control. Long line and nasty officers not very helpful.

I was disappointed that paying nearly $5000 more for business class for two didn’t really get me any more than a larger seat which as the last row in cabin reclined only mildly and the foot supports were of minimal help and left no room under seat ahead for carton bag. Second, our checked luggage was lost and took us two long days and we’ll after midnight each of them and multiple calls and 30 euro trip to airport in person to finally get them. Would you do this again?

The tv and remote didn’t work. The plug to charge our phone didn’t work.

Never made it to Lufthansa because of Air Canadas negligence.

Boarding and flight update was fantastic as I experienced about a 10-15 delayed for both flights. The food served onboard was great; the service of the flight attendants was excellent.

Complete mess. Our reservation was mistakenly cancelled. After almost missing the connection and walking all over the Munich airport, the Service desk got involved and we were run to our flight. Not all 4 of us in Business and not seated together as originally booked. This was the worst treatment I have ever had. And I travel a lot. 1K million miler.

There is more space in this economy seat. It felt like a better layout, not so cramped.

The staff was not at pleasant as those on the first leg of our trip.

Lufhtansa has and can do better. The food was inedible. No individual light for reading.

Plane took off 90 mins late, on board entertainment was not working, cabin crew was not frequent.

Someone switched seats in business class so they could sit together and we were left apart (3). Very disappointing. Staff did nothing

Worst airline in the world. They downgraded me from business class to economy with no compensation.

The airline was efficient and accommodating to work with though there was a delay. Appreciate the service and smooth experience!

Flight attendant kept banging her cart into my aisle seat. Hard. Couldn’t lean seat back. Should be warned of limitations when booking seat

Flight delay of 4 1/2 hours with no reason for over 3 hours. Missed our connection in Rome & had to pay for an additional flight.

I mentioned in advance that I am gluten free, however, they did not have any options on the plane for me. That was disappointing. Otherwise, the flight was totally fine.

The flight was delayed for several hours. After many hours of waiting, they said it was delayed until the next day. This is completely understandable, as the staff had to wait on Boeing to approve the plane. However, the staff said hotel and meal vouchers would be issued via email (they never were). An hour after leaving the airport, our flight was cancelled.

Awful. Delay, lost vacation time and travel time now more than 24h

Excellent! Great flight attendants, good food (in business class, at least), very comfortable. Touchscreen and remote wasn’t great.
