We are taking a guided tour through France and Italy that ends in Florence. We'd like to fly our adult kids (and a baby) out to Florence to join us for some time there and in Rome. Flights on my preferred airlines are very expensive, and I thought the seasoned travelers here might have some good options. While I know changing planes tends to bring down the cost, there is only so much that is reasonable when traveling with a 1-1/2 year old. Any suggestions? (I've already read about some great things to do in Florence and also Rome, and the high speed train that travels between them, so my primary need is just the ability to get everyone there -- 3 people 18+ and one baby.)
Where to look for "bargain" flights to Florence, Italy?

If coming from the US, there are no non-stop flights to Florence. All require a change in Europe. The only airports in Italy with non-stop from the states are Rome, Milan, Venice and Pisa. Some of the flights from Pisa/Venice are seasonal (you didn't say when you were traveling). Pisa (Delta JFK/PSA) is an easy shuttle bus (about 5€-1 hour) connection to Florence. Another nearby airport that sometimes has better prices is Bologna (BLQ).
