Not only that, but you get to spend more time in Italy!

Last year I payed $1250 to a reliable travel agent for a RT ticket to Pisa,
Italy for Marcia Selsor's Architectual Workshop but this year I was able to
get the same trip from American Air Lines throught Travelocity.com for $540
on the internet, but it took 6 hours of frustration and a little switching of
dates to midweek from weekends.
Since you can stay in a small second class hotel in Pisa for $30 a day and
food is good and cheap there you can save hundreds of dollars by picking
dates in midweek , taking red eye flights and using Travelocity.com well
ahead of time instead of going to a travel agent and paying top dollar.
Bona fortuna!

Thanks, Dick. I will try to "introduce" people who are going to each other. Maybe
some can fly together.
Gobundle.com also has good deals. There is always skyauction.com too but that can
take a lot of monitoring.
It is snowing here. Hope you are not in hurricanes there.
Ciao,
Marci
