We love flight deals to Italy, and we're seeing bargain prices to Rome (FCO) and Milan (MXP). Flights from cities like New York (JFK), San Francisco (SFO) and Miami (MIA) have dropped to as low as $288 round-trip on major carriers like TAP, Emirates and Lufthansa.

We first spotted the deals to Rome at Dollar Flight Club.

Note that some tickets are in basic economy, which means you won't be able to pick your seats ahead of time or check bags. The deals are available for select dates in January and February 2020 if you want to beat the spring and summer crowds, and again from September – November.
