Booked this for May 10 to 25th. Hoping for good weather and will likely head north. $400 RT, non-stop sounded too good to pass up!

Something weird. Trying to book tix for 2 adults and 2 kids. Adults are coming out with a "special" fare, but the kids are looking as "full price". Wonder why

Can't say for sure this is why...but read all the terms/conditions and you see this near the bottom...

"Child or infant discount: not applicable."

Could be why you're getting those results.

Call them and see if you can work something out.

Only way around this I found was to book them as "adults". Not sure why it would affect anything - a seat is a seat.

Are you doing two separate transactions? It only works in pairs.

adults and kids

Did exactly that- booked tix for kids as "adults". Called to change the date of birth on the booking, and that's exactly what happened - rep started arguing with me that I can't have a kid traveling on an adult fare. Trying to figure out what to do now, arguing with them is difficult.

Availability seems to be dwindling, at least early May.

Has anyone booked a car rental through EK? Seems to be going through some third party (Tourico Holidays) and their rates on Hertz cars are quite good. But I cannot find for anything the actual T&C for this. (I also don't like EK's cancellation request system: file a request, then wait for days until they respond.)

Alright booked for late April. Going to do Venice, Florence, and Cinque Terre, and then hopefully squeeze in Last Supper and Duomo in Milan on our last day.

I went to Milan last February and (company aside) had a a really nice trip. Reminded me a lot like April in New Jersey: a mix of rain, sun, wind, warm, and chill... except the massive snowstorm we got stuck in while driving through the Alps.

The system tells me I can't book out more than 2 months in advance.

I ran into the same problem with adults and kids on the EK deal. The UA deal from EWR does not have an adults only restriction. I've booked mine.
UA: EWR-MXP $404 RT Must buy 2 tickets [I don't know how to link].

I see that DL has also matched so you may want to also look there.
