wavydavy Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 I was given this tip once and as far as I know it seems to work. When browsing flights it is best to use "incognito" as it doesn't allow the algorithms that the airlines use to track the interest in flights and the more interest and bookings shown the more they bump up the prices.

DxB Hearts Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 I'm not long back from Florence, which is a cracking city by the way, and did a fair bit of traveling around Italy. I flew into Milan Malpensa and got the train down to Florence. Was incredibly easy - direct train from the airport into Milan Central and then bullet train down to Florence. I'd say one bit of advice would be book your Milan to Florence train ticket before - it'll be Italo Trains - as when I went the first train was fully booked and the next one only had the premium tickets left. But they were brand new trains, very comfortable, quick, clean etc etc. As part of trips around we went from Florence down to Rome for a day and it was much of the same. Both easy journeys, no changes and the same train that comes from Milan then heads down to Rome. Think I'll head to Istanbul as I'm just back from Florence but anyone going there will have a great time, it's incredible. If anyone wants a Tuscany wine tour recommendation let me know ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
