Sailing out of Venice 7/21/18

My husband and I are leaving from Venice down to Greece for 7 days on 7/21/18. Flights directly from Denver to Venice are about $1500-1800, so I am considering taking us Norweigan Air for a direct flight to Gatwig London which is only about $900-$1000, and then there are cheap flights from Venice to Gatwig for about $125.. this will not only be cheaper but give us an opportunity to see London for a day or two, which I have never been to do either..

Has anyone else done this and felt it was a good option?

It's a great option!

I have done this a couple of times, but since i have family in manchester, i often fly there, and take jet2, ryanair, easy jet to Europe. Saves a lot of money.

Watch for all the add on fees that these budget airlines charge, ie checked luggage, seat selection, etc. Same with Norwegian for that matter.

Thanks it looks promising! yes, those charges do seem to include luggage and meals at economy rates.

You could use flight comparison websites such as Skyscanner or Kayak to look at different options. They'll compare different airlines and airports - London has six.
