Deal alert: Book round-trip flights to Venice from $479

We’ve seen recent deals on flights to Rome. Now, we’re spotlighting some solid discounts on fares to another popular Italian destination: Venice.
Several airlines are offering sub-$500 round-trip fares to the picturesque city in the fall and early 2025 — these prices are lower than they have been in quite some time for Venice. Departure cities include Atlanta, Miami and Washington.
Just about all the discounted fares involve flights with layovers and are also for basic economy tickets. A carry-on is included with these fares. Checked baggage will cost you between $75 and $110 each way.
