JFK → Rome (FCO) - $862 round-trip with Delta Air Lines. Usually $359-$1,027, so this is a typical price - but a solid option if you prefer flying Delta. Apr 30 - May 3 (Thu to Sun). Direct flight, 8h 45m. Just $0.20/mile.

Tip: If you're eyeing Rome this spring, the Alitalia nonstop at $835 is the best economy fare we're seeing from JFK right now. The Apr 30 departure gives you a long weekend in Rome, returning Sunday May 3 - perfect if you can take Thursday and Friday off.

🛫 New York Airport Tip
All economy Europe deals this week depart from JFK - which is consistently the best New York airport for transatlantic routes. JFK offers the most nonstop options to London, Paris, Rome, and Amsterdam, and typically beats EWR and LGA on both price and direct flight availability for European destinations. If you're based in New Jersey, EWR is worth checking for Continental Europe via United, but this week JFK is the clear winner.

🛫 Premium: New York Airport Strategies for These Routes
All 16 deals this week depart from JFK - which tells you something important: JFK is the dominant airport for transatlantic nonstop Business Class from New York. Here's how to think about each airport for European travel:
JFK is best for: All Business Class routes to London, Paris, Amsterdam, Rome, and Barcelona. The widest selection of carriers (British Airways, American, Delta, JetBlue, Air France, KLM, Alitalia all operate nonstops) means more price competition and better availability.
EWR is worth checking for: United's Polaris Business Class to European destinations - not represented in this week's data but frequently competitive on routes like Newark to London, Frankfurt, and Madrid.
LGA is best for: Domestic connections only. If you need to connect through a hub (Chicago, Charlotte, Atlanta) to catch an international flight, LGA can save you travel time compared to getting to JFK.
Getting to JFK: The AirTrain + LIRR or subway (A train) are both reliable options. Allow 90 minutes minimum from Midtown Manhattan. For Business Class, the added comfort of a car service is often worth it given the overall trip investment.
Terminal tip at JFK: British Airways flies from Terminal 7. American Airlines uses Terminal 8. JetBlue operates from Terminal 5 (T5) which has excellent lounges. Delta uses Terminal 4, home to the Delta Sky Club with transatlantic departures.
💡 Could You Book Any of These with Points?
Several of these Business Class routes are bookable with points - particularly the British Airways, American Airlines, and Delta options. Award Travel Finder tracks daily award availability on transatlantic Business Class routes and often finds JFK-London and JFK-Paris availability at 50,000-70,000 miles one-way in Business. Given that cash prices are $5,000-$7,000+ this week, a points redemption at 2-3 cents per mile value makes a lot of sense.
And if you want to start building up your points balance ahead of your next trip, Miles & Points Daily covers the best credit card welcome bonuses and transfer partner promotions every day. A single well-timed card signup could cover a Business Class ticket to London or Paris in points.
