Ok, so looking to take my bf to italy over this weekend for my birthday and an early valentines present, but the flights seem abnormally high. Is there something special going on this weekend? I googled and nothing came back... Prices arent always this high to Rome / Venice just this weekend seems strange? Ta.

That's the first week-end on which the Carnival in Venice is starting. It starts on Feb 8 and ends on Feb 20. That's probably why it's so expensive.
Here's a site you can check.

Previous answerer Shamrock has right because Feb.8th it's the starting of Venice's Carnival. However this is not the only one reason ; is also very close to that week end the Valentine day (San Valentino) and people is moving more than usual.
Furthermore Carnival in Italy is not only in Venice and this is one more reason, That's the economic rule...... to an increase in the demand corresponds an higher cost !!.

Go to http://www.love.allabouthoneymoons.com they can plan any type of trip not just honeymoons. If you tell them what you like and your budget they will plan the perfect trip for you.Best of all the service is free b/c the fee is paid by the hotel or resort.

must be just the airline or travel agent you are using. i checked the ryanair website and can get from shannon to ciampino and back, thursday to tuesday for €40 each.
