I'm coordinating an extended family trip to Italy in the fall, end of October to be exact.

When do direct flights (890/891) YYZ-FCO-YYZ end for the season? All I am seeing on AC.com is connecting flights. Direct is preferred in this case, because I am travelling with my 80 yr old mother, plus will have 3 inexperienced travellers with me.

I usually buy a flight pass for Europe - on preview flight availabilty - the message says no flight availabilty. Does that mean flights are not loaded yet? or are there no flights at that time that can be booked ?
