Great great info. I thought about a multi-city, open jaw flight but I can't use AAdvantage Award miles into or out of Rome (NO AVAILABILITY). I thought of doing the trip backwards and going from Rome back up to London then flying out, but no go, so I may have to book a round trip from London then when we get to Rome, fly back to London then back to home.
We are trying to find out what stops to make on a train from Paris to Rome. We want to stop in Milan and Venice before Rome but don't really know how and what we're doing for what cost AND if we should buy tickets in advance or not. We would love to see "The Last Supper" in Milan and visit Hotel Danieli in Venice since we just saw it in the movie, "The Tourist" AND it's a Starwood property where I have points.
Tentative Itinerary:
Fly into Heathrow,
3 Days London
Chunnel to Paris
4 Days Paris
Some train or overnight to Milan
1 Day in Milan
Train to Venice
1 Day Venice
Train to Rome
4 Days Rome
Fly back to Heathrow
Fly Home
We can easily adjust days and would love to see some things on that train trip from Paris to Rome.
