When should I book my flight?
Flight options are already available for May 2023. We recommend booking your flight as far in advance as possible to find roundtrip deals under $600.

Flight Requirements
There are no vaccine requirements to enter or exit Italy. You will need a passport that is valid (will not expire) for at least three months beyond the period of stay. Italy mandates this.

When should I arrive?
Our wedding is on Monday, May 29th (Memorial Day), and our Welcome Dinner is on Sunday, May 28th. Arriving in Rome or Florence airports no later than Saturday, May 27th would allow enough time to travel to Cortona in time for the Welcome Dinner. You may choose to arrive earlier and explore Rome, Florence, Tuscany, etc.

When should I depart?
You can leave Italy anytime after our wedding on Monday, May 29th.

When will Brooke and Nick arrive and depart?
We will arrive in Rome on May 22nd and travel to Cortona on May 25th. On May 31st, we plan to leave Cortona to travel to the seaside.
