Andi - Time of year might be a factor in the Airfare. Regent used Non Stop flight to Nice from Atlanta on Delta earlier this year. We hope we can use miles LAX to Nice and then FLL to LAX too. We did fly coach both to Italy and Nice last year on Delta. Not unbearable, and we paid $800 RT to Italy each. For Nice, we had a free Air promotion from Regent. Keep your fingers CROSSED they do that!
