Since I only have a week, I think flying Ryanair or EasyJet which take me thru London would waste hours of time that could be spent otherwise, and the Skyteam Europe Pass looks interesting, since only Altalia seems to fly direct within Italy...am I missing anything that would keep my costs low, but not take up much time?
I suggest taking the train from Milan to Venice (~ 3hr, ~$45) (Trenitalia) and then flying from Venice to Rome on Ryanair (~1.5 flight, ~ free not including taxes). Ryanair has very strict baggage policies FYI...
