I am very grateful for all the info. I kept checking and I was able to get jfk/fco for 60K and fco/jfk for 30K. I have these on hold for the 90K with the hope that before I have to actually confirm them, the 60K going may drop to 30K. In any case I feel lucky that I was able to get the seats.
Can anyone tell me what the AA flights to FCO are like? Are the seats comfortable? Decent service? Thank you again and just to let you know, I am a she
