Ensure your passport is valid at least 6 months after your return date

Book using a major, reputable airline - avoid third party booking engines
Book directly on the airline’s website
Prioritize nonstop flights, or one layover maximum
Remember that due to flight duration and time change, you will arrive the day after you depart from the US
Plan to sleep on your flight from the US to Europe so you wake up rested and are more likely to avoid jet lag
If necessary, invest in upgraded seats, noise cancelling headphones, and anything else that will assist you in falling asleep and staying asleep on your flight to Italy
If you check luggage, invest in apple airtags or a similar GPS tracker to locate your luggage in case it gets lost
If you check luggage, be aware that you will need to recheck it when you go through customs (for example, flying from ORD Chicago to CDG Paris, and from CDG Paris to FCO Rome, you will need to recheck your luggage in Paris)
Consider investing in Global Entry to utilize expedited customs lines upon your return to the US
