Delicious food, rich culture, and iconic landmarks. It’s no wonder so many American travelers dream of visiting Italy.
Whether you dream of sailing in a Venetian gondola, marveling at the Colosseum in Rome, or sipping cocktails on the Italian Riveria, there’s an Italian escape for everyone. And next summer, Italy will be easier to get to than ever.
American Airlines has announced an Italian summer and revealed details of 2 new nonstop flight routes.
Nonstop From Chicago To Naples
American Airlines will launch a new nonstop route from Chicago to Naples. This service will begin on May 6 of next year.
This isn’t the first American Airlines route to Naples, but it will be the only route from any airline between Chicago and Naples for the summer of 2025.
Tickets for this route went on sale on November 4, so I checked to see how much you’ll have to spend if you’re planning a Napoli summer!
On this route, you can expect to pay $1,334 for an economy class roundtrip flight departing on May 12 and returning on May 19.
If you’d prefer to travel during the high summer season of August then a flight from August 11 returning August 18 would cost $1,375.
This is also for an economy-class roundtrip flight, meaning the difference in flight prices between the high season and the shoulder season is negligible.
Nonstop From Dallas-Fort Worth To Venice
Good news for Dallas residents: American Airlines will also offer its first nonstop flight from Dallas-Fort Worth to Venice next summer.
American already offers nonstop flights to Venice from Philadelphia, but this will be the first time they’ve connected Dallas to the floating city. This new daily service will begin on June 5.
Tickets for this route are already on sale, so I got an example price for departure shortly after the flight launch date.
Departing on June 16 and returning on June 23 would cost $1,408. This is based on a nonstop return economy class flight.
During the August high season, the same flight would cost $1,061.
This is based on a nonstop economy class flight departing on August 16 and returning on August 23.
Showing that sometimes the best way to save on flights, especially during the high season, is to book well in advance!
An Italian Summer
When it comes to embracing the Dolce Vita and enjoying an Italian summer, you’ll be spoiled for choice.
American Airlines have also announced that their new seasonal flights from Miami and Philadelphia to Rome will now depart on June 5 instead of July as first announced.
Giving options to explore Venice, Naples, and Rome.
As well as being a tourist attraction in its own right, Naples is also the gateway to the Amalfi coast. This coastline offers some of the most stunning scenery in Italy and is home to picturesque villages and high-end beach resorts.
But don’t miss Naples completely. The Archaeological Museum here houses one of the world’s largest Egyptian collections (outside of Egypt, of course). It’s the birthplace of pizza. And its close to Naples and the famous preserved city of Pompeii.
Venice needs no real explanation, but it’s a city everyone should experience at least once! The floating city famed for its canals and gondolas, you can wander over endless ornate bridges and explore the incredible architecture here.
Venice has its own unique kind of magic. It’s like a romantic and fascinating living museum.
Don’t miss the iconic cathedral Saint Mark’s Basilica, and take a batobus or a water taxi to the nearby islands of Murano and Burano, each of which has its own personality and is just as charming and fascinating as Venice itself.
