The best US airport for Italy
Not the cheapest gateway overall — the cheapest for this country, taken as the median of its fares to every Italy city we price. A gateway with one strong route and four weak ones does not win here, which is the point.
- New York$574
- Boston$594
- Orlando$628
- San Francisco$636
- Los Angeles$638
- Washington DC$650
- Philadelphia$654
- Chicago$662
- Seattle$670
- Miami$684
- Las Vegas$700
- Charlotte$701
What your choice of city is worth
Only $95 separates Rome from Florence on median, which is narrow. A second ticket, its bag fees and the risk of a missed connection will consume that quickly. On this country, fly to the city you actually want.
Common questions
- How much does it cost to fly to Italy from the US?
- A median of $712 round trip in economy across the 5 Italy cities we price, collected August 30, 2026 for departures in the following six months. The cheapest single fare was $461 into Rome from New York. Among the 6 European countries where we price at least 3 cities, that ranks Italy 2 of 6.
- Which city is cheapest to fly into in Italy?
- Rome, at a $669 median against $764 for Florence — a gap of $95. Entering Italy through its cheapest airport and continuing overland or on an intra-Europe fare is frequently cheaper than flying to the city you actually want, and that gap is what makes it worth checking.
- Which US airport is cheapest for flights to Italy?
- New York, at a $574 median across 5 Italy cities, then Boston at $594. This is a different question from which US airport is cheapest overall: a gateway can be strong to one city in a country and ordinary to the rest, so we take the median across all of them.
- Is it worth flying into a different Italy city than the one I want?
- Usually not worth much effort. The gap between Rome and Florence is only $95 on median, which a second ticket and the risk that comes with it will eat quickly. Fly to the city you actually want.
