Alitalia...should we wait to buy? HM in October
The Alitalia rep just told me that there would be a special after February. WE are flying open-jaw into Rome out of Venice from Boston? How low do the fares usually go down. Is it worth the risk? He said that the flight is "almost empty" Help, I don't know what to do? It is our honeymoon!

This year many people seem to be willing to pay over a thousand smackers several months in advance of their flight date--doesn't give the airlines much incentive to lower prices as they usually do when the flights get to the 2-4 months away stage. But who knows? It all depends on how fast the seats fill--if people will pay what the airlines are asking 6 or 8 months in advance, then the airlines will be more than happy to keep selling at those prices.

So are you saying that I should wait or not risk it and book now? Remember, it's our honeymoon. The price now for 2 of us is $1773.20 with tax/fees. If I wait, how often should I be calling to make sure there still are seats?

Hi CA,
www.kayak.com is showing $820 for your itineray 10/05 - 10/19 on Continental, $833 on Alitalia.
May I suggest flying into Venice and out of Rome? More relaxing. Usually better schedules from Rome.
