San Diego → Rome for $555 roundtrip.
Read that again.
For early December dates, flights to Italy’s capital have dropped to about 52% off what people typically pay (usually $640–$2,000 for similar trips). If Rome has been “someday” on your list, this is the sign you’ve been waiting for.
Why this week’s Spotlight is ROMA 🇮🇹
Picture this:
Espresso at the bar while locals argue about calcio
Wandering Trastevere under string lights and laundry lines
Tossing a coin into Trevi Fountain, then carbo-loading on fresh cacio e pepe
Day trips to the Vatican, Colosseum, or even a quick train to Florence
All while knowing you paid hundreds less than the average traveler.
Sample dates:
Dec 5–12 · from $555 RT (Lufthansa, 1 stop)
Other December dates from the mid–$600s
Prices can move fast, so if your winter is flexible, this is the type of deal you grab first and plan details second.
