DFW to Milan, Rome to DFW. Mid September going, return October 24 or so. Aiming for a month total trip. Thanks,
For any award, at reasonable cost if miles, need to be *very* flexible on date and route. For your that means anywhere in USA to anywhere in Italy, or other close EU country with a train to Milan. Into Milan and out of Rome may not be available. But for example in/out of Rome or in/out of Naples maybe available. Takes perseverance.

AA awards are often offered on BA, which has a high cash co-payments/surcharge.
