euro cruiser Posted November 8, 2014 #2 Share Posted November 8, 2014 How do you define "best"? As noted on the Italy ports board, the only non-stop is the Alitalia/Delta seasonal code share. As for one-stop options, what matters most to you? Price? Short connection? Specific airports you want to avoid for connection? Specific airlines you prefer because of mileage plans or other reasons?

euro cruiser Posted November 8, 2014 #3 Share Posted November 8, 2014 There are lots of options with one stop, including: SAS via Stockholm United/Lufthansa code share via Toronto Air Canada via Toronto Virgin Atlanta via London TAP via Lisbon US Air via Philadelphia American/British Air code share via London Swiss Air via Zurich KLM via Amsterdam Air France via Paris and more.

Rare PaulMCO Posted November 8, 2014 #4 Share Posted November 8, 2014 What class of service??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6rugrats Posted November 8, 2014 #5 Share Posted November 8, 2014 If you are talking about flying economy, there's really not much difference. I'd choose the airline with the best schedule and price, and the one in the alliance where you'd prefer to earn frequent flyer miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Globaliser Posted November 8, 2014 #6 Share Posted November 8, 2014 How do you define "best"?The word "best" really ought to be banned from this forum. People are forever asking what's the "best" this or that - and (like this request) usually in terms which make it impossible to give an answer because there isn't one.

Rare FlyerTalker Posted November 9, 2014 #9 Share Posted November 9, 2014 What's the best airline to fly from either JFK or Newark to Venice with one or no stops. Thanks. Thank you.

RJ2002 Posted November 9, 2014 #10 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Thank you. I appreciate all of your replies. As others have noted, from the NY area you'll have lots of one stop options. If you are flying economy, I'd just price-shop, and then check seatguru.com to see which of the lower price options offer the greatest seat pitch. If you are flying business class, please report back, as some of us may have opinions/suggestions on that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6rugrats Posted November 9, 2014 #11 Share Posted November 9, 2014 On this board, best almost always means cheapest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fbgd Posted November 9, 2014 #12 Share Posted November 9, 2014 On this board, best almost always means cheapest. :D "I want to fly from the NY to Europe with the most amount of legroom as possible. 7yrs ago a friend flew from Billings to Klagenfurt and paid $400 and I don't really want to pay anymore than $500 return because that's the cost of my cruise. When's the best time to buy my ticket? Is it Thursday at 2pm in an undetermined timezone? Or should I wait until Southwest post their schedules?"

Chairsin Posted November 9, 2014 #13 Share Posted November 9, 2014 You forgot to add and " I assume 20 minutes between flights is enough time to walk leisurely from terminal to terminal and stop and have a light lunch before I board where they will hold the plane for me but if I miss the connection they will book me on the next flight 15 minutes later , booting someone else off the flight if necessary to make room for me or upgrade me to first class."

FawnRiver Posted November 9, 2014 #14 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Fair warning, Air Canada from Toronto to Venice means Air Canada Rouge their "budget" subsidiary. It's not cheap and unless you're short and able to sleep the whole flight, it's not likely to be too comfortable. We're doing YYZ to VCE on BA with the connection in LHR, but we paid the extra for WT+. We've done economy on the Dreamliner and it was not a terribly comfortable flight. If you elect to do BA, watch the connection, most of them will require you to go from LHR to LGW which is doable, but you'll have to plan for your own transfer.

slidergirl Posted November 9, 2014 #15 Share Posted November 9, 2014 OP: do yourself a favor and go to itasoftware website. Plug in your dates and you'll see a boatload (pun intended) of 1-stop flights. If you're strictly going for "cheapest" for "best", you've got Turkish Air (via IST), Aeroflot (via SVO), and Air Berlin (via DUS and TXL). Air Lingus, Virgin Atlantic, Air Canada, Finnair, Brussels Air, Lufthansa, Iberia, USAir, AA, Delta - all have 1-stop flights. Since I didn't see any dates for you, I just plugged in some time in July 2015. Also dive a little deeper and look for "cheapest" to various gateway airports and then look for the ULCC to get you from that gateway to VCE. Or, look for airfare to Milan (MXP) and take the train to Venice. AA, Finnair, Emirates, USAir, BA, Delta, Alitalia, Iberia all have non-stops JFK-MXP for under $1000. Train tickets from Milan to Venice are anywhere from 9-50EU each, depending on when you buy and what class you buy… You did set yourself up with the very generic "best" airfare from JFK-VCE… We're a tough bunch here on Cruise Air ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borasue Posted November 14, 2014 #16 Share Posted November 14, 2014 If you're willing to fly out of Philly, you can go non-stop to Venice. I just booked BOS/Philly/Venice and Rome/JFK/BOS last night, via American, for our Sep 2015 trip. :p Happy Travels! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted November 14, 2014 #17 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Looks like UA is adding a non-stop to Venice out of Newark for next summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
