Italy gets a steady stream of tourists, thanks to all of the many attractions in this boot-shaped peninsula. There are even mini countries inside of Italian territory – San Marino and Vatican City. Plus, the country has many historic monuments and art galleries that draw people from all over the world to come and see the spectacular sights.
If you are coming to Italy from the U.S., you have a number of options for your airline carrier. All of these carriers offer direct flights from the U.S. to Italy: Delta, Alitalia, American Airlines, Air France, Iberia, and Swiss International Airlines. If you don’t want to fly one of these carriers, you can always fly into another large city in Europe (like London, Paris, or Frankfurt) and hop on an inexpensive flight from there to Italy.
It’s plenty easy to find these short flights between European cities. The budget airline phenomenon has caused small airlines to compete, and therefore the consumer has a lot to choose from.
Check out the budget flights from cities in Europe or the UK to Italy. You can find flights to major cities quite easily.
Spots like Rome, Venice, and Milan are of course very popular. Some flights land in less well-known locations. Why not give one of these a try? Often they are less expensive, and the location would be great for a weekend getaway before heading on to the tourist centers of Italy.
If you are not European and are traveling in Europe, there’s a new proposal to make dozens of flights available for $99 per seat. Of course these are no frills, but you can expect the flight to be safe and comfortable. Again, this is possible because of low-cost carriers opening in the past few years.
Italy’s national airline, Alitalia, has 37 aircraft and links Italy with around 60 countries. More than 22 million passengers fly safely on this airline yearly. Alitalia flies into 20 locations in Italy alone and 200 around the world.
Plenty of tourists want to check out the sights in Italy. Now, with options in both the private and state-owned airline sectors, it’s never been easier.
