When to fly
Travel demand on this route rises during the winter holidays and around Christmas, which pushes prices up in late December and early January. The cheapest month to fly is December, offering lower fares before the peak holiday surge if you book early enough. Prices are available for October through March, covering the cooler months when school breaks and seasonal events draw visitors to Italy. Flying on weekdays outside these holiday periods typically yields better value than weekends or the height of the festive season.
