Italy in Business Class from 1066 Roundtrip and Where to Stay

 

Update: This appears to be dead. Hope some readers were able to benefit!

Fly Business Class to Europe from $1066 roundtrip, thanks to a British Airways and American fare sale from cities such as Houston (IAH), San Francisco (SFO) and Denver and $400 AARP discount plus 10% British Airways Visa discount, via Ben.

This is a great deal for British Airways Business Class which is entirely flat bed although a rather dated product, and while these particular fares are to Rome, it's easy to get around Italy by high speed train or go elsewhere in Europe by air, since flight times are so short. If you missed British Airways First Class from $1984 Roundtrip this is a good chance to plan a fall or spring Europe trip. I'd hurry if you think you may want this, since the sale is unlikely to be around for long. You can cancel or change your ticket for free within 24 hours of booking.

AARP Member Discount: $400 Off British Airways Business Class and First Class
 
If you're not an AARP member, it's just $16 to become one, and there are no age restrictions. The $400 discount off British Airways First Class and Business Class is valid for fares booked by October 31, 2016. You can also use your membership to reserve a ticket for a spouse or partner, so only one of you needs to become a member. Also see AARP: $400 Off British Airways Business Class and First Class Flights or go to the British Airways AARP page and log in if you're already a member.

The lowest one way fares are in the $560-$650 range.

Where to Stay in Italy
 
Rome and Florence are high on the list for many first-time visitors to Italy, but if possible, don't miss the gorgeous views of the Amalfi Coast or Tuscany, and in season, a visit to Lake Como is wonderful. Here are some of my favorite recommendations:
