Is $5800 for two people in Premium Economy crazy for JFK-Venice in July? Air France and Alitalia - one stop. Obvi it’s expensive, but is it reasonable for the time and class?

Agree you can find cheaper options. Business class would also be a great use of points. If you’re struggling to find award availability, check availability on Air Italy into Milan using BA Avios. It’s usually widely available and you can transfer credit card points to BA. Also consider flying Norwegian Premium class, which is a better product than most full service carriers’ premium economy. La Compagnie also offers cheap all business class flights from NY to Paris and Nice. You can grab another ticket from France to Venice.

Fly to Rome or Milan and take the train. Will save you a lot of $$$ and you can see a second city.

That’s absurd! What dates are you looking? I just did a quick google flights search and everything turned up < $2000 per person

Venice is typically one of the more expensive cities to fly into, but even with that this seems unusually high. Try flying into/out of another city or airport, or a different airline?

Just book bulkhead seats?

Also Milan could be much cheaper and it’s a 2.5hr train ride to Venice from there

I’m looking to go early July. I will try the options to Rome or Milan and then a cheaper airline to Venice (or the train!).

Venice is also so small it’ll be boring to not go anywhere else

I spent 3.8 k business class from Chicago to Hamburg last month (and it was last minute notice). I flew United / Lufthansa.... Do the math.

This is horrifically irrelevant

Ya’ll I did more looking. Delta partners for the summer is extremely booked. It’s crazy! American offers more options $1850 pp. Ugh so much for getting points.

Nah....Delta SkyPesos are worth ass anyways

Premium economy seats are usually $2-300 expensive than economy. So buy a economy ticket and upgrade it to premium economy

It really depends, the best time/rate to do that is during check-in.
