General Information
| FLYING TO ITALY & FRANCE * If you are flying from outside of Europe, it is easiest to book a direct flight to your destination (or close to it!) with one company. However, if the connections don't work or if you plan on cutting up your trip, consider connecting via one of the low-cost airlines. BE AWARE that many of the prices listed are one-way, and there are hefty taxes involved! The advantage of these "low-cost" airlines is not always the price, but the fact that they service the smaller airports close to the beginning of our trips (Bergerac, Bari, etc.). * Remember that many cities have more than one airport, so connections could mean a trip across town (London, Paris, Milan, Rome). See the airport website for transport between airports, and give yourself plenty of time to connect! * Check out these websites for deals on internal European flights: -- Another similar site is www.skyscanner.net -- See the Italian version of expedia at www.expedia.it -- Try any of the "lastminute" websites starting in your country of departure: UK www.lastminute.com; Italy www.it.lastminute.com; France www.fr.lastminute.com -- For travel to/from France, see www.volsfrance.com, a complete listing of low-cost flights from every city in France to the rest of Europe. ITALIAN AIRPORTS: Most intercontinental flights land either at Rome's Leonardo Da Vinci airport (also called Fiumicino) or at Milan's Malpensa airport. You can also fly to regional airports such as Florence, Pisa, Bologna, Venice, Genoa, Naples and Bari through European gateway airports like London, Frankfurt, Paris and Amsterdam. See your particular trip for more information.
