Flights to Italy - Overview
There are plenty of options available for finding cheap flights to Italy, including traditional scheduled flights, budget airline flights, and a smaller number of charter flights to ski resorts and popular summer destinations such as Sicily, Sardinia and Naples.
One thing to bear in mind when searching for flights to Italy is that there is a wider choice of main and secondary airports here than just about any other European country. Milan, northern Italy’s industrial and cultural powerhouse, offers the widest choice of flights from the UK, with no less than four possible arrival airports to consider. Milan is also the most important hub for struggling national airline Alitalia, and a useful transfer centre for onward train journeys.
The Italian capital Rome also has a reasonable choice of flight options, although it is not well served from the Midlands after Thomsonfly, and then British Airways, axed their flights to Rome from Coventry and Birmingham respectively. Note that Rome is one of the few cities where the airport favoured by the budget airlines (Ciampino) will actually leave you closer to the city centre than the main international airport (Fiumicino). Other major destinations, including Bologna (Forli), Florence (Pisa), Verona (Brescia) and Venice (Treviso) also offer a choice of arrival airports.
The two major Italian islands of Sicily and Sardinia also offer a bewildering choice of arrival airports, whereas no such confusion exists when considering flights to cities such as Turin, Genoa, Trieste and Naples - all have one airport and can only be reached by direct scheduled flights from London!
We hope that you have found this information about flights to Italy useful.
Mini guide to Italy
One of those destinations that almost doesn’t need any talking up, Italy is perfectly capable of handling its own PR. The evocative names of its cities alone should be enough to sell prospective travellers to this perennial European hot spot: Florence, Naples, Pisa, the Eternal City (and capital) Rome. Those four offer so much to see and do even before one factors in the country’s other substantial assets: luscious Tuscan countryside, ski resorts, miles of coastline, the sun-soaked isles of Sicily, Sardinia and Capri.
And then there are the Italian people’s passions: food and wine that varies from region to region, meaning that - with the possible exception of a trip to France - you’ll almost certainly never dine so well overseas anywhere else; the football mania apparent on match day on the streets of such Northern powerhouses as Milan and Turin; religion, with lavish Catholic churches a feature of almost every town and city one visits; and, of course, the glorious, wide-ranging array of culture: consider Florence, the city-as-art-gallery showcasing the very best of the Renaissance, or Venice, with its annual film festival and year-round old-world glamour, a seductive maze of corridors, stairwells and, of course, canals.
