Hello! Just found a fare on Orbitz for $700, from NYC-Florence, May 30-June 13. (travel dates not flexible).

Just curious to know if we can do better? We are a little hesitant to book with 7 months remaining to search for sales. However, it's our honeymoon, so peace of mind in having it settled might be valuable. Just don't want to kick ourselves later

I would love to know how much you paid, if you went to Florence last year.

Thanks!

Hi Tar,

That's a good price, especially if it is non-stop.

You are more likely to see prices go up $200 than drop more than $100.

Really? Thanks Ira, that's good to know! My logic would have said the opposite, which is why I'm really glad to have this board I am much more accustomed to domestic flights.

It's not non-stop (actually has two connections), but is overall a very good itinerary as far as departure and arrival times.

Thank you again for the advice!

I choose my flights for their itinerary and carrier, not the cheapest ticket.

I would never take a 2-connection flight, if a 1-stop or non-stop was available. Each time you have to go thru an airport is a hassle, subtracts valuable vacation time, plus gives more of a chance for a delay or missed connection.

Take it, it is a decent price for sure!
and congrats on the upcoming marriage, have fun!!

There is no non-stop flight from the US directly to Florence--the airport there is small. There are a number of carriers that would offer just one connection rather than two. I'd pay a little extra if necessary to eliminate a stop.
