San Francisco – Venice, Italy. $491 (Basic Economy) / $711 (Regular Economy). Roundtrip, including all Taxes – The Flight Deal

Discover a fantastic deal to Venice! Prices may vary slightly based on the chosen routing.

The fare of $711 includes advance seat assignments, a standard carry-on, and one checked bag.

Delta, Air France, and KLM Royal Dutch also offer a Basic Economy fare at $491, but this comes with certain restrictions:

• DO NOT allow for advance seat assignments.
• DO NOT include checked bags – fees are $75 for the first bag and $100 for the second each way.
• DO NOT allow for changes.
• DO NOT allow for cancellations – cancelling after the 24-hour risk-free period will render the Basic Economy fare unusable for future travel.
• DO NOT earn mileage.
