That’s a good price for that route in March, considering the general overall rise in airfares this year, and the rising cost of fuel. (In previous winters, BUF-ROM might have gone on sale for maybe $550).

However, there are warmer places than Rome in March. If you want a good likelihood of warmish spring-time weather, then it could be a fantastic choice. But for warm to hot sun in March … I think you need to head further south. If you’re set on Rome, then try late March as opposed to early March.

Btw, 1800flyeurope shows midweek March prices $680 total.

Don , thank you so much.
I am not familiar with 1800flyeurope, so I’m very happy to hear about it.
Here is what I am planning. I want to escape a month of winter, so would like to go away for the whole month of May. I’ve been told I can easily rent a small apartment in the south of Italy for $1,000 a month because it’s off season. I’m on a tight budget, so know I can’t afford, hot climate, only warm!
When I saw this flight, I thought it was a real deal but from what you are saying about previous flight costs, perhaps I’ll hold off til I research my accommodations. I was ready to jump at the air fare.

Where further south would you recommend, that would be a bargain? I’m not set on Rome, only on my budget.

I was thinking Caribbean.

Ahhh if only I could afford it!!

I don’t think there’s that much difference in price, when all is considered.

I know I can get good deals for a week or two to Cuba or Dominican, but do you really think I could get accomodations for $1000 for the whole month?
And I’m not finding anything in Italy… so perhaps Spain.
