[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are heading to Italy on Friday with our two kids, ages 6 and 8.  Rent apartments, you'll save money there.  We got good deal on our flights.  We chose spring break for Italy versus the summer as the crowds are larger in the summer and temps warmer too.[/quote]

Out of curiosity, what's a "good deal" on flights, roughly? I have no concept of what international flights cost. $1000 each? More? Less?[/quote]

I'm the PP going to Italy this week.  We went to Germany two summers ago and I paid roughly $623? per ticket.  I got very lucky there.  For Italy we are flying into Milan because the tickets were much cheaper than Rome or another city.  We are connecting in JFK and paid $827 per ticket.  It would have been cheaper if we decided to drive to JFK from DC.  We used credit card points to cover two of the tickets, so for a family of four we ended up only paying $1655.60 for four tickets to Milan.  I was aiming for tickets under $1000 per person.  This past summer my husband and I had to pay $1400 + for tickets to Scotland.

I write a travel blog when I'm on vacation (mostly so my parents can see what we are up to without me having to constantly email them pictures or recap our trip to them).  I don't want to post the link on here, but if you are willing to share your email address I'm happy to send you the link to my blog.  I have details from our trip when the kids were 4 and 6 and we went to Europe and I'll also be adding the details for our upcoming trip.[/quote]
