Flying to Italy nonstop for just $355 round-trip is nothing short of a bargain.

We’ve just found these round-trip fares from New York City (JFK) to Milan (MXP) with American and from JFK to Rome (FCO) with Norse.

Here’s more on this deal that’s not to be missed.

Fare Deal: Details

Both of these fares are the airlines’ lowest economy tickets and don’t include checked bags. However, if you have status with American Airlines (or other Oneworld airlines), you still enjoy status perks and benefits such as a free checked bag even when purchasing an American Airlines basic economy ticket.

The main difference here is that Norse is a low-cost carrier, so passengers have to pay extra for all in-flight food and beverages. With American, you receive a meal and a prelanding snack, even when booking its lowest economy fare.

Here’s what it’s like flying American Airlines in Main Cabin with elite status.

  • Class: Economy
  • Routes: New York (JFK) to Milan (MXP) and Rome (FOC)
  • Dates: October 2025 to February 2026
  • Rates: As low as $355 round-trip

Believe it or not, the lowest nonstop fares are actually with American and start at just $355 round-trip to Milan.

If Rome is at the top of your list, then you can get there nonstop with Norse from $363 round-trip.

If you’re heart’s set on Rome but you don’t want to fly low cost, why not take the nonstop to Milan with American instead? That way, you could visit Milan and Rome in the same trip. Alternatively, you could just hop straight on one of Italy’s high-speed trains down to Rome.

Best Ways To Book

To secure one of these excellent fares, courtesy of American Airlines and Norse, we recommend using a credit card that rewards you for booking flights.

A stellar card is The Platinum Card® from American Express — a high-end card that you’ll find in most of our wallets here at Upgraded Points.

For example, paying for these flights directly through AA or Norse’s website (or through AmexTravel.com) would earn you 5 Membership Rewards points per $1 spent (limit of $500,000 per year of these purchases, then 1 point per $1).
