Flights to/from Rome and Venice

My husband and I would like to travel to Italy in March 2007, visiting Rome, Florence & Venice. I really don't care which city we fly into and which city we head home from (whatever is least expensive). If I start my trip in Rome I'd prefer not to have to return to Rome just to fly home. I have just begun to research flights and admit that I haven't done a lot of it. But what I've found so far is a round trip ticket to/from Rome costs about $700 roundtrip per person. And a one way to Rome (or one way from Venice) would cost so much more - $1100 each way per person. Is that right? Am I doing something wrong?

kim-

What you need to do is book an open-jaw ticket (ie, fly into one city and leave from another). It's still considered roundtrip, instead of 2 one-way ticket. Open-jaws usually run just a little more than a regular R/T ticket, sometimes the same price.

When you're on the airline website, just click in "multi-city" when you look for the tickets.

FYI- I usually book open jaw (If,for instance you are on the Orbitz website,click on expanded options,then multi-city,)These fares have never been more expensive than single destination round-trips,and frequently they've been cheaper.

Do an open jaw ticket on Delta as they fly NONSTOP from the states and back to Rome,Milan and Venice. Very easy to do!It will sure save alot of time instead of backtracking.

Thanks to all of you. That was exactly the information I was looking for. I can't believe I didn't notice the little "multicity" button before - or know what it meant
