Flight Deal: 2 Tickets to Milan, Italy for $899 on Emirates — Book by August 22
Attention Cheapos! Here’s a deal you do not want to pass up if you were planning on going to Italy in the next six months — especially if you love to travel with a friend or family member. Right now, Emirates Airlines is offering roundtrip tickets for economy fares from New York (JFK) to Milan for $899. Before you scream, “Hey, that’s not a good deal,” take note that this price is for two (yes, two!) travelers.
Do the math and that’s only $450 per person, with all taxes and fees included. Even better, you’re not limited to a short booking period but rather a six-month window. You can travel between September 16, 2016, and April 3, 2017. We found flights in the winter and spring leaving on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday (and coming back those same weekdays) for this special fare. If you want to travel on the weekends, the price is just a little bit more. Just book by Monday, August 22 to score this deal.
And even though the price is right up our cheapo alley, the perks that come with a flight on Emirates are usually way beyond our budget. On budget airlines like Wow or Norwegian, you get a low price but everything else comes at a cost (seat reservation, baggage, food, etc). However, Emirates Economy offers a whole new level of experience. You can savor a four-course meal, watch 2,500+ channels on the in-flight entertainment system, and even log onto free Wi-Fi during your trip. And if you are worried about getting hit with steep baggage fees, sit back, relax, and enjoy your flight because Emirates Economy lets you bring two checked bags with you. All of this for only $450 per person? Sign us up!

Once you get to Milan, you’ll have no problem finding affordable accommodations. EuroCheapo has hotels in Milan for as low as $60 per night for a double room. Plus, you don’t have to stick to Milan. Hop a train and be in Venice in three hours, Florence in two hours, and Genoa in 2.5 hours. You can even sneak in a night in Bologna, a beautiful student city with a reputation for amazing cuisine — but of course, you’ll find incredible food no matter where you go in Italy!
You may want to edit the article. While the headline says it ended on August 22, in the article it says in bold ” Just book by Monday, September, 22 to score this deal.” Which makes it a bit confusing.
Thanks for the catch, Tui!
You are very welcome! Next time I hope to catch a similar deal in time. Italy is high on my list of places I’d like to visit. Though I’d happily settle for a great price to go to Scotland or Prague. 😉
Anything from LAX?
