I'm not sure this is a fare drop, let's just say its airfares lower than what I typically see. I just purchased tickets for main cabin (Delta, changeable) from Minneapolis to Rome, for February 2025, for just under $900. That's fairly good for Minneapolis. Sharing in case others what to check flight pricing.
FYI--also checked for the same time period for New Zealand or Australia and the fares were still high (IMHO) Also still "high" is Minneapolis to Oahu for March.
