Outrageously cheap business fares on Alitalia!
 

Unfortunately it's only between Toronto and Cyprus, but a stopover is allowed in either Rome or Milan, so basically you could do Cyprus just for 1 night before or after Italy. The final cost in business class - are you ready? between $164 - $194 ALL IN, plus paper ticket charges from your favorite travel site. All kindsof dates available including summer and 2007. I believe you can't outbound on Wednesday and can't return on Sunday (I'm not sure about the inbound). Hurry!

Good luck!

How, how, how? This is the kind of post that (typically) leads me to ask no further questions - - just get to their website and get some dates booked. Don't have to think about it.

But the website says that YYZ-LCA cannot be booked online. Did you have to call them? Did you have to say that you are from Canada asks for country of origin when you first go on to he website). Surely, this ticket cannot be purchased by talking to a live operator. Must be a mistake.

Which I would have no ethical qualms about pourchasing, if you can tell me how!

Eagerly awaiting your reply.

Best wishes,

Rex

I just did it on Orbitz.com

I did a multi-city with a stopover in Rome.

There is a lot of flying involved, so be ready.

You may have to play with dates.

Good luck!

I too am very interested. I tried to pull up the same itinerary online that was posted above, but it said that the itinerary cannot be purchased online.

Maybe they caught on? I did mine about an hour ago. It was posted on Flyeralk sometime very early this morning and at least 100 or so regulars bought many and multiple dated tickets. It's possible that the fare is getting pulled. Sorry I was to late reporting it if that's the case.

Good luck!

It looks like it was pulled. This is the message I got when pricing the same itn:

<b>We're sorry, but due to changes in airline availability, the fare for your selected trip is no longer available. We have adjusted the fares for all affected itineraries. The fare for your selected trip is now $2779 total. See below.</b>

Probably for the better anyways, as I just got back from Italy and am off to Croatia in November. But congrats for getting such an awesome deal!

Oh my god. I am on the phone with them, and they are quoting it as good - - but she wants to talk to the manager... waiting with baited breath for an answer...

Are they honoring your purchase?

Seriously?! Definitely give us an update! To heck with Croatia...if I can get to Europe on business class tickets for under $200 I'm getting the credit card out!

I got them!

Sep 29 to Oct 7 (mandatory stopover on return in Milan, with MXP-YYZ on Oct 8)

Wow.

And yes, business class. $207 CAD per person, all in.

Rex, congrats! Did you call Alitalia or Orbitz to book your tickets? Did you have to ask for anything special or did you just give the dates you wanted?

Congrats Rex, and good luck to everybody else!

See Ya guys later!

Super deal! Kudos to all who jumped in and booked!

I caled Alitalia - - in fact, that is an interal part of my not having ethical qualms about the purchase. It was a lie operator, and as I indicated above, she put me on hold, for quite a while to &quot;check with a supervisor&quot;.

It feels like taking candy from a baby, but what the heck, I didn't put a gun to their heads!

Calling my son-in-law's parents right now, to see if they want to go with us!

So then you just called and gave them the dates and the operator gave you the price and that was it? Wow...I have to call!

let me get this straight though...you still have to fly to toronto from the states to get this...correct?

Yes, to tcreath... and...

yes, to pmgoose... doesn't deter me at all. If necessary, I will drive. $200 for BUSINESS CLASS!

Yeah...just dont know how getting from Beantown to Toronto would work out.

I am so cursing the fact that I have already planned for -- and purchased -- all the travel and tickets I can do in 2006. Surely there must be a way for me to take off leave without pay. Sigh... CONGRATS.

This fare is still available.

REX: How do you arrange to spend a couple of days on Cyprus and ten or so days in Milan? I've talked with Orbitz people and have tried to rearrange the backend of the trip and the fare for two jumps to $7,000. HELP!
