<h1>Helpful Information - Tips for Getting to Italy</h1><strong> Author: <a href='http://www.articleseen.com/profile_Ilchiostro.aspx'>Ilchiostro</a></strong><br /><p>Airfare Watchdog - Airfares in general are rising, but there are still bargains out there. Try this site that will keep an eye on the fares as they fluctuate and send you regular notices about your itinerary. It saves you time from constantly surfing the web for reasonable airfares. Hints for Getting to Italy: most airlines have regular flights to Rome or Milan. Some have direct flights to Venice (Delta) but most other cities in Italy do not have intercontinental airports. That means that to fly into Florence you will need to stop over in some other European city first. Here are some suggestions for finding reasonable airfares to Italy: • Euro Fly - is a seasonal carrier (May to October) that flies from New York-JFK to Rome, Bologna or Naples. • Vayama - a new site for international flights that is easy and fun to use. • Delta Airlines - now flies direct to Pisa and Venice as well as Rome and Milan. They frequently offer competitive fares. • Pro Travel is an air consolidator that we use. Agnes Warburton is good at finding the best deals. Mention that you are participating in an Il Chiostro workshop. If Agnes isn`t in you can speak with her associate, Linda Fiedler. • Some fun, new sites for finding airfares recommended by some travel writers are: Qixo and Mobissimo • Orbitz, Expedia or Kayak are traditional internet based airfare locators • TAP, the airline of Portugal, often has special rates on flights to Italy, with a stop in Lisbon, of course Passports: this is essential for travel to Europe. The easiest way to renew is by mail or at a designated post office, as long as you have enough lead time. The current processing time is 4-6 weeks, expedited processing takes 3 weeks. Whether you are applying for a new passport or renewing your expired passport, this site has all the information you need. http://travel.state.gov/passport/passport_1738.html Remember you will need 2 small passport photos to accompany your application. Accommodations: If you plan to spend some time in Italy before or after your time with Il Chiostro, you will need to book your hotel or pensione in advance. There are many options beyond the large chains and the places recommended by all of the popular tour guide books.
