First Direct U.S. Flight to Emilia-Romagna Launches This Summer
Travelers can now travel to Emilia Romagna, home to gourmet delights such as Parma ham, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, traditional Balsamic vinegar and Bolognese sauce, via a direct flight on American Airlines. Flights on this route will depart from Italy on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday at 12:30 a.m. arriving at 4:05 p.m. Then on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday flights from Philadelphia will depart at 7:45 p.m. arriving the next day at 9:20 a.m. in Bologna.
These seasonal flights will use Boeing 767 aircraft, featuring lie-flat business class seats, Cole Haan amenity kits and chef-designed meals with award-winning wines.
Additional regional highlights include the spectacular Teatro Galli, which has just re-opened its doors after 75 years, to once again become Rimini's home of great music. There will also be new cultural attractions to enjoy, from specially created helicopter and balloon tours to the new Porto di Classe Museum, a fascinating archaeological park in Ravenna, plus visitors can follow in the footsteps of Leonardo da Vinci who created some of the famous infrastructures in the Duchy of Romagna, as 2019 commemorates the five hundredth anniversary of his death.
As the home of the Food Valley, Emilia Romagna's reputation as a foodie destination is second to none.
