The cost of flying to Italy or anywhere is often your largest expense. Airfares have been on the rise and baggage and seats are costing even more on top of airfares. There are some tricks to manage these costs and we talk about them in this video.
Lets list some ideas to help manage airfares:
- Use Hopper app to predict when airfares will rise and fall
- Use other travel apps like TripAdvisor, Orbitz and airline apps to compare prices
- If you are using miles to pay for your trip, get your ticket early (11 months prior to flight)
- If you are using travel cards like Capital One Venture our cash to pay for your airfare, use techniques above to predict when to buy.
Then sit back and enjoy your trip. Watch my VLOG on airfares:

George we find Cheapo Air to be the best
Thanks Bernardine, I have used them. I still like Hopper for its predictions but you can then book through Cheap Air. Grazie
I have found that flights from the East Coast of USA to be their cheapest 6-6.5 months prior to travel. This year I was able to get Newark to Lamezia, Calabria for $700.
Thanks John, was there stops?
I stalk the internet – google flights, individual airlines. I scored round trip Anchorage/Rome for $526 on British Airways, travel end of Feb. beginning of March. I know that is a very typical time of year for price drops and you see them in November.
Good job Bonnie. Yes fares are typically cheaper that time of year but you still got a great price.
