Yes flights will go down. You're traveling in October which is a low travel period especially for us-europe. Last few years we've seen low costs in the $500-$700 range.

One of the things you can do when flying international is you can book a stopover in a city for less than 24 hours at the same cost. Not sure if you have any desire to visit London/England at all but may be a way to break up your trip? Book it as a multi city ticket with msy-lhr-italy, then italy-lhr, and next day lhr-msy (or wherever you are starting from)

Most likely. What current price are you seeing?


Economy for two is $3,700 and premium economy for two is at $5,100 at the moment.

American travel to Europe was very high last year as a result of "revenge travel" for vacations that were postponed during the pandemic, but travel to Europe is expected to remain very high this year as well.

This is not going to be a good year for low airfares to Europe.


That’s my worry. I just don’t know if we will see a decrease in prices like we have in the past.

Thanks Cuse. I looked at flying out of a different airport or stopovers and it just wasn’t worth the extra time or shortening our vacation.
Unfortunately we can’t be very flexible on our days so we kind of have to take what is available. I’m pretty sure I’m just going to have to bite the bullet and do it at some point.


Thanks fellow travelers. I really appreciate everyone’s input.

I done this twice coming back from Europe

first time was Rome to Toronto spent the night, flew to New Orleans the next morning no jet leg

2nd time Athens to Dublin spent the night, they do custom in Dublin so just walked off the plane when we got back to the States

Comment agree more, especially if you have to change terminals anyway. Add go the layover for 10+ hours and spend some time in London
