Trip to Italy

Man airfare is insane right now. When's the best time to book for a trip coming up next Summer? When my wife and I went in 2019, we paid like $650 a piece for RT to Rome out of Charlotte. I haven't see anything less than $1200 over the past month of looking

If you're open to other cities in Italy or plan on hopping around anyway, keep an eye on Milan. It doesn't tend to get hit with peak season pricing quite as bad as Rome does.

Definitely open to other cities. Rome is just a short train ride away.
 

Civitavecchia - place to buy wine pre-cruise?

The morning of the cruise we are taking the train from Rome to the port. Would like to buy the allotted bottles of wine once in Civitavecchia before getting on the ship without worrying about the bottles on the train. Can we do this easily?

summer flights to italy are expensive; $1200 is actually pretty good deal. You can go for 600 if you go off season but there's a reason it's offseason
 
Flights to Italy right now are actually pretty inexpensive. In fact, Europe as a whole is relatively cheap right now

Hey Barca, how about a run down of your trip plus pros and cons?

Just got home last night. Well technically stopped the night at my in-laws to pick up our son but I sure will in the next few days! Amazing trip.
 
it's easy. do you have global entry? if so it's really easy.
 
american will have you download the CBP MPC app and use it to fill in a lot of stuff that allegedly speeds the process up too
 
Got my airfare booked for 4/17-4/27. AA out of Charlotte direct to Rome and direct back for $1300 in the main cabin with the estra leg room and seat room. Thought that was a pretty good deal.

Orvieto for 2-3 nights, Sienna for 4 nights, & Rome for 3 nights.
 
Wake Forest has a very cool and special relationship with Venice. Take advantage of that connection GoTo Venice And seek out advice etc. from the program folk. The students keep a web site with the latest happenings. Go by casa Artom and buy the kids pizza or something.
