Budget Travel - Help with flight from Rome-NYC

I am looking to book a flight from Rome traveling to New York City on June 24th of this year.

I travel for a living throughout the US, but do not have much international traveling experience.

I will be backpacking for a month and Rome is my last destination. I have looked on multiple sites thus far, and the cheapest I found was $367 but it was for travel on Multiple Carriers, which I would really like to avoid.

Is there a booking website, or some tip that could aid be in booking this at the cheapest possible flight. I don't care about layovers as long as they are not 24+ hours, and how many stops it has.

I am also open to flying into either DC, Philly, or Baltimore, and I do not have a preference for airlines.

Thanks for all of your help.

I would take one of the LCC to London and then fly to NYC, as there is more competition and better air fares. Try EasyJet, Ryanair or alikes. A good webstie for this is www.easylow.com, it'll show you all the LCC's flying between the city pair you are interested in.

I'm going the opposite direction and got a LON-ROM ticket for 25 euros, after flying Virgin over the Atlantic.

Hope this helps. :p

If you want to stick to a single carrier, the cheapest seems to be $579 on Aer Lingus. FCO-DUB-SNN-JFK.

The other option that I found was $313 on Lufthansa / LTU.

FWIW, that is a great fare price wise (much cheaper than anything you will find for LHR-JFK)

Cheers

Thanks for everyone's help.

I'm sure someone can answer this, but I do not know the answer.

If you are flying on a ticket that contains multiple carriers, will they transfer your luggage all the way through.

For example, I am probably buying a ticket from sidestep, and the intinerary is:

Rome-Dusseldorf, Germany on LTU
Dusseldorf-NYC on Lufthansa

Thanks

If they have an interline agreement (which they most probably do) then, yes.

If everything is on the same ticket then they definately will.
