Delicious food, rich culture and iconic sights. It’s no wonder so many American travelers dream of visiting Italy.
Whether you dream of riding a Venetian gondola, admiring the Colosseum in Rome or sipping cocktails on Italy’s Riveria, there’s an Italian escape for everyone. And next summer, Italy will be easier to reach than ever.
US airlines has announced an Italian summer and revealed details of 2 new non-stop flight routes.
Non-stop from Chicago to Naples
American Airlines launches a new nonstop route from Chicago to Naples. This service will start on May 6 next year.
This isn’t American Airlines’ first route to Naples, but it will be any airline’s only route between Chicago and Naples in the summer of 2025.
Tickets for this route went on sale on November 4, so I took a look at how much you should spend if you’re planning a Napoli summer!
On this route you can expect to pay $1,334 for a return flight in economy class with departure on May 12 and return on May 19.
If you prefer to travel in the high summer season of August, a flight from August 11 and return journey August 18 is possible would cost $1,375.
This also applies to a return flight in economy class, making the difference in flight prices between the high season and the shoulder season negligible.
Non-stop from Dallas-Fort Worth to Venice
Good news for Dallas residents: American Airlines will also offer its first direct flight from Dallas-Fort Worth to Venice next summer.
American already offers nonstop flights to Venice from Philadelphia, but this will be the first time they connect Dallas to the floating city. This new daily service starts on June 5.
Tickets for this route are already on sale, so I was given a sample price for departure shortly after the flight start date.
Departure on June 16 and return on June 23 would cost $1,408. This is based on a non-stop return flight in economy class.
During the high season of August, the same flight would cost $1,061.
This is based on a non-stop economy class flight departing on August 16 and returning on August 23.
This goes to show that sometimes the best way to save on flights, especially during peak season, is to book well in advance!
An Italian summer
When it comes to embracing the Dolce Vita and enjoying an Italian summer, you are spoiled for choice.
American Airlines also announced that its new seasonal flights from Miami and Philadelphia to Rome will now depart on June 5 instead of in July as first announced.
Offering options to explore Venice, Naples and Rome.
Naples is not only a tourist attraction in itself, but also the gateway to the Amalfi Coast. This coastline offers some of Italy’s most stunning scenery and is home to picturesque villages and luxurious seaside resorts.
But don’t miss Naples entirely. The Archaeological Museum here houses one of the world’s largest Egyptian collections (outside Egypt, of course). It is the birthplace of pizza. And it is close to Naples and the famous preserved city of Pompeii.
Venice doesn’t really need any explanation, but it is a city that everyone should experience at least once! This floating city is famous for its canals and gondolas. You can wander over endless graceful bridges and explore the incredible architecture here.
Venice has its own unique brand of magic. It’s like a romantic and fascinating living museum.
Don’t miss the iconic Cathedral of St. Mark’s Basilica and take a batobus or water taxi to the nearby islands of Murano and Burano, each of which has its own personality and is as charming and fascinating as Venice itself.
