Two people emailed me about this incredible deal today, and although I’m annoyed that I can’t take advantage of it I’m hoping that some of you can. So, without further ado, I present perhaps the most fabulous-est deal I’ve seen on Italy airfare in ages: $399 for a round-trip ticket from New York to select Italian cities, and that’s including the fuel surcharge.

Yes, really.

If you phone Eurofly no earlier than Wednesday, September 10, you’ll discover that on the three days from Wednesday through Friday of this week, September 10 to 12, Eurofly will be selling round-trip flights in September and October between New York and either Rome, Naples, Palermo, or Bologna, for the exceptional price of only $399 per person, including fuel surcharge. In other words, while other people are paying $1,100 and more, plus fuel surcharge, to fly between the U.S. and Italy, you’ll be paying only $399, including fuel surcharge.

This amazing fare deal comes from Arthur Frommer’s blog, and while he says he can’t reveal his source, I’m inclined to trust him. And it’s not a huge leap of faith, either – I mean, if you get all worked up to buy your ticket at this steal of a price & it turns out to be not such a great price when you talk to the agent, it’s simple enough to hang up the phone.

At any rate, the deal is that you’ve got to book your flight between September 10-12, 2008, and fly in September or October. It’s also round-trip airfare from New York, so if you’re not already in NYC you’ll need to get there. But with a fare this low, you’ll probably still save money with this option than if you booked a ticket straight from your home airport (it’s at least worth investigating). You’ve got a day to do your research and find out whether this deal is really all it’s cracked up to be, and then be ready to call Eurofly on Wednesday morning. The number you’ll want to program into speed dial for Eurofly is 1-800-459-0581.
