In the winter 2024-2025 It will no longer be just Rome Fiumicino and Milan Malpensa the only Italian gateways to and from the United States. Delta Airlines has indeed announced that it will continue to operate Between Venice and New York JFK until the first week of January 2025, thus enabling passengers from the Northeast to travel nonstop to the Big Apple or the United States for the Christmas and New Year vacations and American tourists to reach the lagoon city or other destinations in that part of the country, first and foremost the Dolomites.
In this article:
Operating between Venice and New York even after the end of Summer 2024 (which this year will be October 27) will be a Boeing 767-300ER outfitted for 211 passengers who will have the choice of traveling in Delta One (the American company's Business with fully reclining seats), Delta Premium Select, Delta Comfort+ and Main Cabin. Between Epiphany 2025 and the following March, the connection will be suspended, to resume with the start of Summer 2025 scheduled for March 30.
A similar move Delta made United Airlines, announcing the extension of Chicago-Rome until December 2 (returning from Fiumicino on December 3). The route will be suspended during December, January and February, to resume on a daily basis from March 6, operated by a Boeing 787-8.
Winter still remains A lean cow season for over-Atlantic flights between Italy and the U.S., due to the fact that most of the traffic that travels between the two countries does so for vacation. Thus, with the end of the current summer season, Connections to the U.S. from Naples and Palermo airports will disappear.
Also some machines will be replaced with less capacious aircraft, precisely to meet a reduction in employment factors, which only the Christmas and year-end vacation period escapes in practice.
During the current summer, for example, American Airlines is flying between Rome and New York JFK with a four-class Boeing 777-300ER, including its Flagship First, which is also one of only two First Classes (next to that offered on its flights by Emirates) on which one can board from Italy.
Well, in the coming winter, not only will First Class be gone, but there won't even be a connection between Fiumicino and JFK operated by American, which instead will continue to serve from Rome its other hub on the U.S. East Coast, that of Philadelphia (with Boeing 787).
The Italian capital will also stay in winter The city with the most weekly connections and the most U.S. destinations. In fact, from Fiumicino you will be able to fly nonstop to New York JFK with ITA (2 times a day with A330-900), with Delta (daily, 767-300ER and A330-900) and with the low-cost Norse Atlantic (4 times a week with B787-9).
Toward the Big Apple's other airport, Newark, one can instead board a B767-300ER daily from United. At Boston will operate ITA Airways (A330-200) and Delta (A330-300), on Washington ITA (A330-200) and United (767-300ER), on Atlanta Delta With A350-900, about Miami ITA With A330-900, about Chicago United with B787, about Los Angeles ITA with A350-900 and on San Francisco still ITA (A330-900).
Milan Malpensa will be connected with fewer flights and destinations, but by more airlines (six, as opposed to the five that will fly between Rome and the U.S.).
Three routes: the Milan-New York JFK. served by American with B777-200ER, Neos with B787-9, Delta with A330-300 and Emirates With A380; the Milan-Newark, served by United with B777-200Er and from the all-Business La Compagnie with A321LR; and the Milan-Atlanta, where you can fly with Delta aboard a Boeing 767-300ER.
