Update: No more translating from Italian!
You can now save 25% right on the Alitalia USA site!
Use the following “E-Coupon” code on the Alitalia USA site after selecting your flights: SPECIAL
JFK to Tel Aviv on most dates (like 12/02-12/10 for example) will be $763.80 round-trip with tax.
Miami to Tel Aviv (on 01/20-01/31 for example) will be $729.30 round-trip with tax.

You can save 25% on tickets booked on Alitalia.it.
The site is in Italian but you can just open the page using Google’s Chrome browser and it will translate the page to English. You can also have the english version of Alitalia.com open in a different browser to help you as the sites are very similar.
Use the following “E-Coupon” code on the Alitalia Italy site after selecting your flights: PROMO
Travel must be booked by 10/26 and begin between 11/05/12 and 03/27/13.
Blackout dates are 12/20/12-01/06/13.
For example searching for JFK-Tel Aviv on 12/02-12/10 the regular Alitalia site prices the ticket out at $1,018.40. The Italian site prices it at €780.82 which is currently $1,017.38. With 25% off it is €589.37 which is currently $767.93.
Use a card like Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card to earn 2.14 miles per dollar and pay no foreign exchange fees. Or you may want to use Freedom even though it has a 3% foreign exchange fee because this quarter you earn over 5 Ultimate Rewards points per dollar on airfare (up to $1,500).
Want to find cheap flights with flexible dates? You can even search for flights from your closest departure airports to anywhere in Europe! Just type in an airport and use the nearby airports functionality and increase the default mileage range and then select all of them! You will want to uncheck “allow airport changes” if you don’t want it to search for flights that arrive in one city and leave from another.
Using that feature I found flights from JFK to Madrid from 11/21-11/29 for €360.54 after the 25% off or about $469 round-trip with tax.
Post a comment with other deals you find!
Read about using ITA Software here and use the following advanced routing code to limit the calendar search to only Alitalia flights: AZ+
Remember to use the code in both the departure and return fields.
Once you find a deal on ITA just plugin those dates onto the Alitalia site.

Prezzo € 811,82
Servizio di vendita € 5,00
E-coupon € – 204,20

@Mendy:
They only sell Alitalia flights on their site.
You may find some Alitalia coded Delta flights to Venice though.
ALSO NOT WORKING I EVEN TRIED CAPS LOCK ANY WORD ON THIS DAN THANKS
I tried a hundred times Dec 25-Jan 8 flexible +/- a few days. No luck! (I even tried Dan’s dates just to make sure it wasn’t the dates that I requested that made the code invalid.) Any help you can offer?
i did use the italian site and it didnt work
what are the dates it is valid..not clear on your posting
Worked for me with the dates which Dan has mentioned. I think what you guys are doing is definitely wrong.
@KJ:
Finally at least someone else sees it…sheesh.
i have tickets with Alitalia previously booked. it would be nice to get a retroactive discount.
I got it via Google Chrome and it translates to (poor) English. How can i book something that allows me to stay in Milan for a few days on the return flight beore arriving at JFK.
worked for me 720 a flight
@Dan: just a small thing dan.
i got a letter from chase that they close down my chase shappire card because of transfer activity other then spouse or domestic partner, is there any thing that i can do about it , i am more worried about the credit limit that i will lose and it will effect my credit score??
just had success 13 nov – 22 nov
apparently theres blackout dates and also some dates are sold out. STILL WORKING!!!!
booked 10 tickets 2500 euro saved!!!
You can do it through the US website just go to http://promo.alitalia.com/usa/?WT.mc_id=search_Google_BrandPromo_US&WT.srch=1
@whyaich:
Blackout dates are now listed in the post.
@Dan: Dan please help me out with my problem. Any answer???????
also found jfk-tlv (stop in rome) 2/7/13-2/14/14 $760 on the u.s. site
it was the blackout dates that were not working for me
working now thanks
@Jack — Was this a one-time transfer that got you shut down or multiple transfers? If multiple, roughly how many?
Thanks a lot booked two flights from JFK to Tel Aviv approx. $750 Canadian each ticket. I speak Italian so it wasnt a problem. Thanks again
Can be use for any sky team flight or only Alitalia ?
Dan how can i book this ticket but with a day stopover in Rome for the same cheap price?
How much is it to book and then change the dates of the return flight? or make it as a open ticket?
Thanks for the tip….just booked my family for pesach for 800 a ticket we r sooo excited!!! The dates for pesach worked!!! Now just hoping that alitalia is a good airline?????
@Mg

@Meir

I am in Israel from December 10 till December 16 any ideas on where to rent a cheap car, preferably close to the airport. Thanks Mani
Worked for me !!! $735 from JFK to Tel Aviv
For President’s week. I did have to try several, I had
called the airlines and they told me if the server is
too busy, it will tell you that your dates are not
available.
jan 7 to jan21 for 767$ still
Ro all those who dont know there is a forum were u can ask unrelated questions
@ mani
contact noach 212-901-5205
Anybody know Alitalia’s USA number to reach them??, any department
@WhyAich
Do you by anychance know if i make a stopover in Rome for under 24hours if they make me collect my luggage or they keep it under?
@WhyAich: Thanks
did this expire yet?
Is this direct? $767 direct?
Thanx
looking to travel to hungary, will this work for me?
Does anyone know if it works originating in TLV? I want to bring my kids to New York for a simcha.
I found a flight to Israel for 75$ cheaper thru the Japan web site with the code “promojp”
@Sara: yes Sara it works..
this isnt working…not accepting that promo code for some reason!
Thanks whyaich for all ur help and timely responses!
Of course thanks Dan for the great chap!!
@yossi: @yossi: Have you booked for $367
anyone manage to book recently or has it expired? Also what did you do? I tried detailed itinerary and couldnt get it to go through.
@yossi:
Thanks, I wonder does anyone know if this promo can be booked through a travel agent?
none of the codes code works on the us site!! not promo nor promojp nor special
help!
not working anymore for me
ITS OVER
None of the codes are working, not the US or the Italy one. If it worked for anyone please advise. Thank you!
The E-Coupon is supposed to be an alpha-numeric code according to Alitalia Japan. Can we try again with the right code? Also Madrid wasn’t an option when choosing airports in Italy. I had to fly into Milan or Rome among many other avails. How do you book a ticket with lay-overs? I found it difficult to maneuver the website. Think we missed out on the deal again.
the us code SPECIAL is working
If the original flight is before March 27, Can the return be after March 27 for the 25% reduction?
FRUSTRATION! I went thru all the steps, ready to pay and get the following message:
Please, look at the following warnings.
The payment service is temporarily unavailable. Please try again.
Is there a number to call Alitalia that can help?
@ALITAYA:
Did you actually book and pay ?
I went thru all the steps,the code worked. I got the dates and price. But ready to pay and get the following message:
“Please, look at the following warnings.
The payment service is temporarily unavailable. Please try again.”
Is there a number to call Alitalia that can help?
FOLLOW UP: Was able to book on the Italian site They gave me a reservation booking number which they will hold for 24 hrs. But they were unable to process the payment. I have to call
0665640. I guess that’s an Italy number. Would anyone know the country code and city code? could I call an Alitalia office in America?
same problem as sara any advice/
I am looking fo flt from nyc to tlv with stop in London. I cld tak rt from madrid to mancheste seperate. dates 1/16/13-1/3/13. Is this wih 25%?it doesnt work…
I got the same message as Sara saying I have a reservation but they could not process the payment but then got an email from Alitalia confirming my tickets and payment. I checked my credit card and the payment went through.
I called the American customer service number just to verify and they confirmed that all was well.
So before anybody double books – check to make sure that the payment did not go through.
Hatzlocha to all and a huge thanks to Dan for posting!
I spoke to the airline’s customer service this afternoon and was told that lots of people are experiencing difficulty buying tickets through the US website but the 25% off deal was still available at the time. I personally got the same message as Sara multiple times but after about 6 attempts I did get my ticket booked through the SPECIAL promo. $763 when I bought a ticket at 6:30 this evening. If you really want to buy tickets at this price, just keep on trying and IYH you will eventually succeed.
UPDATE:
I called the Alitalia tel. no. 800-223-5730.
It seems to have people to talk to at any time. I gave them my reservation code and wanted to pay with Sapphire VISA. they told me it was already charged to Amex. (which is good for 2x points, but I didn’t want to pay the conversion fee from Euros, since my booking was done on the Italian site.)
So they told me to book again using the VISA and then call them to cancel the earlier one, and thnakfully B”H it worked.
1701 Euros for 3 passengers @ about $1.30 per Euro = $737 per ticket.
Thank you Dan for your wonderful service.
I think I will be able to do this – I’m so happy to have found your site Dan!
One question that niggles a little – the e-coupon code – SPECIAL … Do I need to produce something to ‘prove’ I have this coupon – which evidently I do not?!

hello everyone just spoke to altalia airlines and they said that the discount is no longer valid. this is the worst airline and customer service they said the discount was just for the weekend. dan i think you should post that this deal is now dead thanks
Alitalia is running a special FROM TLV to NYC and other NA destinations like Bos for $799 BUT you can also add the coupon “special” and get another 25% off. I just bought a ticket for $598.50 after the discount from TLV-NYC-TLV Dec13-Jan13
Where do I put in the code? I don’t get how this works.
Also, What’s Alitalia’s USA #?
I got it, thanks!!
