Have I got an airfare sale for you! Round-trip between the U.S. and Italy for $399 per person -- including fuel surcharge.

My source is a totally reliable tipster, a notorious leaker of absolutely accurate info, the travel equivalent of the infamous Bob Novak, Matthew Drudge, or National Enquirer. He's a person close to the powers-that-be at Eurofly, the Italian carrier that flies between New York and Rome, Naples, Palermo, and Bologna. And he has assured me that this blog has the exclusive, an honest-to-goodness scoop. No other newspaper, internet site or blog will get word about this extraordinary bonanza until Wednesday, September 10.

And like a proud journalist, champion of the First Amendment, tight-lipped reporter, I'll go to jail -- I'll serve time -- before revealing the name of my source. He's a completely vetted, authoritative spreader of travel secrets. And his news is this:

If you phone Eurofly no earlier than Wednesday, September 10, you'll discover that on the three days from Wednesday through Friday of this week, September 10 to 12, Eurofly will be selling round-trip flights in September and October between New York and either Rome, Naples, Palermo, or Bologna, for the exceptional price of only $399 per person, including fuel surcharge. In other words, while other people are paying $1,100 and more, plus fuel surcharge, to fly between the U.S. and Italy, you'll be paying only $399, including fuel surcharge.

I think you'll agree that for flights in September and October, when the weather in Italy is balmy and serene, that $399 is a world's wonder -- it justifies making a trip that you might not otherwise have considered.

So get ready to spring. The Eurofly number is tel. 800/459-0581. And the three-day sale will probably -- but not necessarily -- go up on the Eurofly website (www.euroflyusa.com), too (starting Wednesday, September 10).

Three days only in which to book: September 10 through 12. For travel at any time in September and October -- in other words, for the next 45-or-so days. $399 round-trip, with no fuel surcharge.
