God Save The Points: "When it comes to summer travel, Italy is firmly circled on every map. Thanks, White Lotus for making that a thing for the next forever time."
"Getting out of major cities and into seriously beautiful secondary cities, or picturesque towns not only helps to avoid what crowds do exist, but to gain greater appreciation for true Italian lifestyle and rustic beauty."
Points Wire Note:
With the option to book ITA Airways non-stop between the U.S. and Rome (or Milan), you can fly into Italy and take trains to other cites.
You can book award tickets on ITA Airways with Virgin Atlantic Flying Club or Air France-KLM Flying Blue. Both programs are transfer partners of Amex Membership Rewards, Bilt Rewards, Capital One, Chase Ultimate Rewards, and Citi ThankYou Points.
