Boston – Florence, Italy. $494 (Basic Economy) / $694 (Regular Economy). Roundtrip, including all Taxes – The Flight Deal

Take advantage of a fantastic sale to Florence! Prices may vary slightly based on your travel route.

The fare of $694 covers advance seat selection, a standard carry-on, and one checked bag.

Delta, Air France, and KLM Royal Dutch also offer a $494 option. However, this is a Basic Economy fare, which comes with several restrictions:

• Advance seat assignments: NOT permitted.
• Checked bags: No complimentary checked bags—$75 for the first bag and $100 for the second, each way.
• Changes: NOT allowed.
• Cancellations: NOT allowed—cancelling after the 24-hour risk-free window renders the Basic Economy fare inactive for future use.
• Mileage earning: NOT applicable.
• Most online travel agencies may not list Air France/KLM’s Basic Economy fares distinctly.
