This Six-Day Trip to Italy Now Costs $699.
Budget online travel agency Gate1 offers an eight-day and six-night trip to Tuscany, Italy, with round-trip airfare, hotels, car rentals and daily breakfast, all included for $699 per person. Here’s what you need to know.
How the deal works
Gate1 usually sells packages where you get a certain number of days in a location, which usually includes airfare and hotels. However, they are usually not that cheap. One of the main reasons for this deal is that it’s designed for winter travel (travelling in the off-season is a great way to save) and is $160 cheaper with promo code “TZWTCM.”
The advertised price is from New York, but there are many other airports you can fly from for the same or similar price. You must also travel with another person; otherwise, you pay $300 for a “single copay.” You have multiple departure dates; however, the lowest price of $699 (listed price $859 before coupon) is only available on January 18th, 24th, 25th, 31st and February 1st. More dates available, including $739 (listed price $899 before coupon) on November 23rd. and others from November to March 2024 for another couple of hundred dollars. The $160 per person discount code expires September 30th and space is limited, so book sooner rather than later if you’re interested.

How to get this deal
Follow this link to see the deal. To begin the process, click “Book Now”. Select the dates that work for you at the prices listed (this is before applying the $160 per person promo code). Select your airport and number of passengers and click Continue. Select your flight information (select those marked “included to avoid additional fees”) and click Continue. In the Booking Review window, use promo code “TZWTCM” to receive $160 off per person.
If you receive $859 in orders, your total should be $1,398 for two people if you didn’t add any extras. However, after trying out the options, I found some that were more expensive and others that were cheaper (I found a reservation for one person totaling $559 for a Feb. 1 departure). The website can be inconsistent (sometimes the insurance part didn’t recognize that I had selected “no” and still asked me to select the option). If you do not get the results you expected, please reload the page and try again.
