Rome 🍝 + New York 🚕 in £720s-£770s/€850s rtn

Premium Deal Alert: 18 April 2025

Here's one to wake you up today!

Thanks to a tip off from JFC-er Remco, we're sharing a 2-in-1 which will have you flying over the Atlantic in a lie-flat seat under £1000 rtn 👀

It looks like Alaska Airlines is selling biz class fares on behalf of Aer Lingus for a ridiculous price between Rome and New York. So, if you buy those flights, and then make your own way to/from Rome, you've got yourself a sweet little DIY trip! But you'll have to hurry, as some trips are already going up as we type.

Keep in mind this isn't the quickest way to get there (you'll need to stay in Rome long enough for there to be a buffer for your flights, in case of delays), but it is extreeeeemly cheap.

And if you're flying from Dublin, annoyingly, you'll be flying to Rome just to come back, but we've checked and Aer Lingus is asking €1000-€2000 one-way for the non-stop hop across to JFK 🤷‍♀️

FYI, you'll only be flying in business class on the long-haul legs to and from New York, the other flights will be in economy.
