My question is: When, if at all, can I expect them to release these tix? The tix are expensive to purchase ($1300) and I would love to use miles on this one. Any insight would be helpful.

Thanks.
Hi aidanblake and welcome to FlyerTalk. Your subject is oft discussed on this board, and there are many theories.

Here's my experience: summer standard awards are hard to find. Though frustrating, it is often easier to get them closer to the departure date than months and months in advance.

Depending on your plans, it may serve you well to check nearby cities with low cost carrier (Easyjet, Ryan, etc.) or train service to Rome.

I am confident others will tell you why I'm wrong

Safe Travels!
