Midwesterners, rejoice! If seeing the Colosseum in Rome is on your travel wishlist, you'll have a new – and great – option to fly to Italy next year. Italian carrier ITA Airways announced this week it'll launch nonstop nonstop flights between Chicago-O'Hare (ORD) and Rome (FCO) beginning April 7, 2024. 

The airline will fly that route six times a week through the spring, moving to once-a-day flights starting June 7. ITA will fly a mix of its new Airbus A330-900neos and older Airbus A330s on the route.
