Ok, this is killing me!
I just bought my non-refundable tickets yesterday for $835 and thought I got a great deal because everything I was looking at was over $1000 for my dates!
Good luck to everyone!

I looked at Kayak as well for flights out of DFW. It's not nonstop as you have to fly to Atlanta and then on to Rome (FCO - I didn't know there were 2 airports in Rome - FCO and CIA - , so I don't know which one is more desireable). You fly business for the whole journey over to Rome, but coming back you're in coach (landing in Newark), then back in Business class from there to DFW. Roundtrip cost is $458! (leaving Aug 31 - Friday - and returning Sept 9 which is a Sunday).

Alitalia site now says "Unavailable momentarily".
Kristina: I just bought mine last week. At least I don't have to spend a miserable day excoriating myself for not waiting!
As they say, "If it looks too good to be true....".

I've booked Japan for September, HOWEVER, they (Alitalia) will go bancrupt soon if the yesterdays rumours (We'll be selling it to anybody who wants it for an euro, even the eskimos", No more financial aids!) are correct. I do hope they stay in business. Just be aware it may not be as inexpensive as it looks!!!

I too am going to Japan (in October) so probably can't partake in these fares even if they are legit, but just out of curiousity I checked it out and sure enough a flight from CLT to FCO is coming up $456 on Alitalia!

It sounds as if the Italian government is trying to juice the numbers to get someone to buy the airline.
Buy the tickets if you can, but make sure you check back often to see if the flight is still scheduled and the airline is still in business.
