Thanks, grimmy, for the tip. I just went to orbitz and booked our flight to Rome from Newark on Delta (code share with Alitalia). Total cost for two round trip tickets, non-stop, including tax, fees, and shipping of paper tickets -- $897.37
Leaving 16 Sep
Returning 27 Sep
Before I booked, went to both Delta and Alitalia websites and their prices were between $650 to $800 per person per ticket.
Yippie!!!

Guess we are on the edge of the late Spring/early summer fare sales, and maybe some of the lower fares have been released. I've been looking for SAT-CDG and find tremendous variability, will bide my time for a few weeks and see what happens. My favorite airline, Continental, is still posting rather high fares.

eurotravler - that's a wonderful idea, but we will be in Montepulciano from the 18th to 25th.

Come on up and I'll supply the wine.
grimmy, the $30+ extra was orbitz's $20 service fee + $15 to mail the paper tickets. By going thru orbitz it cost me an extra $35.00 for the two tickets.
I got burned once before by booking thru expedia and then finding that if I went straight thru the airlines, it would have cost me $25 less.
This time, before I hit the "purchase" button, I opened up another window to check out the airlines' prices. Alitalia was $800 per person, and Delta was around $650 per person, so I hit the "purchase" button.
An hour later Delta had the tickets at their website for $431.00 each. It's all water under the bridge, and I'm not going to whine over $35.00 because I still think I got a great deal.
