Effects of Jubilee on 2025 Travel

Posted by (Boston, MA) on

Curious from those who have already planned travel to Italy for 2025 if you are seeing an increase in pricing and demand for lodging and the like due to the Jubilee ; and your plan of attack.

This was forecasted to happen, just curious if it did already.

Plan on taking a trip in mid-Sept ; will probably do my best to avoid Rome this year. Been wanting to go to Tropea and explore that area a little, so is the rough idea. Would like to work Matera into the plans.

Thought it might be better to wait a few months before booking any flights / hotels but wanted to ask others opinion on that.
Hard to say if the anticipated demand (and early pricing) will be lower or higher than what actually happens.

I don't think you will see much effect on Tropea. Matera gets more crowds every year, but I would not worry about that too much--better now than later.
It is never too early to buy airfare.

I probably have to fly into Milan or Rome ; as the smaller southern airports I am looking at don't seem to have cheap direct routes from cities outside of Italy.

SAS currently has some really low fares from NYC to Italy for Sept. (quick stop in CPH) ; I suspect those won't last, must be part of a sale so think you are right about booking the flight early.

Yeah you def won't be flying direct to Lamezia Terme or Reggio, but Naples might be possible. (? I dunno, perhaps from NYC, seasonal)

Might want to check out the Lufthansa-ITA merger. I am personally hoping it might enable me easier access to Calabria or the islands.
Check Bari for Matera also. I've seen one stop flights to Bari and Brindisi on Lufthansa.
