Italy deal alert: Fly to Venice, Milan, and Naples for as low as $479 round-trip
We've spotlighted a few sales with great prices on flights to Rome, but this time, we've found a sweet deal for travel to other much-desired destinations in Italy. Airfare to Venice, Milan, Naples, Bari, Genoa, and Turin is now available at substantial discounts.
You can depart from a number of East Coast cities, including Boston, Miami, New York City and Washington, D.C. There are even some sale fares from San Francisco.
The travel window for this deal is primarily from November through March 2025. You may get lucky and find some sale fares for last-minute travel in late April and May this year. Also, just about every flight in this sale has layovers each way, although we did find the occasional nonstop flight at a lower-than-normal price.
This sale is for basic economy tickets. You get a free carry-on with these airlines. It will cost you between $65-$85 each way to upgrade and get free checked luggage and seat selection.

There is good availability from Newark to Milan in November. We found flights from EWR to Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP) on TAP Air Portugal for only $479 round-trip. There is a layover each way. Also, note that you get a free carry-on, but it will cost you a lot to check a bag. In other words, pack light to take advantage of this deal.
We also stumbled across this nonstop flight on United in December from Newark to Milan for $581 round-trip.
According to Google Flights, this route during the holidays should cost about $1,000, so if the timing works, it's one to consider.
TAP Air Portugal has flights from San Francisco International Airport (SFO) to Milan in November for less than $500 round-trip — another solid discount. If you live in San Francisco, the flights to Milan in this deal were the best bargains by far.
ITA Airways has November flights from Boston to Naples for $531 round-trip.
We saw lots of flights to Naples in November and December for that price, which Google Flights data indicates is about half the usual cost.
There are lots of flights on sale from Boston to Venice as well. We found itineraries in late November after Thanksgiving to Venice for less than $600 — a big discount from typical prices.
