American Air Business Class To Venice, Up To 8 Seats


Business class award space to Europe during the summer is always tough and Italy is always popular. If you want to visit Venice (as many do), you often have to connect in Europe to do so.

Fortunately, we dug up some business class award space from the U.S. to Venice! Considering there are only a few routes directly to Venice, I'm particularly excited about this one!

Flight Experience


American flights out of ORD and PHL are on a Boeing 787. The cabin layout is 1-2-1 and some seats are rear facing. You may prefer to eat at the Flagship Lounge. Inflight service can be a mixed bag but American has a solid selection of entertainment options to keep you occupied.
