One route, followed properly: Rome (FCO) to Los Angeles (LAX), return. What follows is the lowest fare our radar has picked up on it and the precise dates behind that number, rather than a headline price with the conditions left out.

We do not post a price and leave it to age. Each fare is re-checked against Skyscanner on a schedule and carries the time it was last confirmed. Not flying from Rome? We track 56 other departure cities for Los Angeles, listed at the foot of this page.

Cheap fares do not hang around. If this one has already gone, nudge the dates either way by a day or two; Rome to Los Angeles is usually still decent value around the same window.
