It’s not just fall and winter fare sales to Italy that are out there these days; I just saw this sale to Italy on Lufthansa that begins in mid-August. Sure, the country is pretty much on vacation for the month of August, and it’s so bloody hot in some parts of Italy that you just might melt between the airport and your hotel, but if you can stay hydrated enough to make it to a nearby beach and flop onto a chair like all the other vacationing Italians are doing, you should be just fine.

With this sale fare on Lufthansa, you can get a round-trip ticket to Italy from several U.S. cities for as little as $706 round-trip. Of course, these fares quoted don’t include some fees and taxes, but you knew that. Because they never do. Some of the round-trip fares you could get are:

• Philadelphia-Milan - $706
• Chicago-Turin - $794
• Boston-Venice - $884
• New York-Naples - $910
• Los Angeles-Rome - $1062

In order to get these prices, your trip has to begin between August 18 and October 26 and end by November 25, and the flights also have to be on midweek days. You can take a weekend flight, it’ll just cost you a bit more. You’ll also need to book your flight by August 5 and at least seven days prior to when you’re planning to fly. A Saturday night stay is also required, and you can’t stay more than 30 days on this ticket.

As always, read all the details for this deal before you book.
