Alitalia

FCO-LAX-FCO on a 777-200ER which was completely full in both flights fast check-in departure and arrival on time. The flights were calm and nice thanks to a good on-board entertainment system and a professional and friendly cabin crew which passed frequently offering beverages. the food was good two meals and many snacks and drinks with an open bar in the back of the plane.

Flew from JFK to Palermo with a connection in Rome and from Catania to JFK connecting in Rome again. We had a two-hour delay sitting on the tarmac at JFK with NO information. Obviously missed our connection in Rome and were hustled off to a later connecting flight again with no information. On the return trip we again had a tight connection so our bags did not make it to JFK - and they weren't delivered to us for two more days. Flight attendants were rude and/or preoccupied. Food was inedible. I'll never fly Alitalia again.

London to Bari via Rome Bari to London via Milan. Very good experience airline is consistently improving. Online check-in now available when travelling with children making baggage drop at Heathrow very easy and quick. Planes clean and modern drinks fine snack just adequate (similar to BA in Europe now). Prices were good and arrivals near enough on time.

We booked a flight from New York City to Rome and Delta airlines farmed us out to Alitalia. We checked in online the night before our return trip and arrived at the airport 2 1/2 hours early for our flight. Only to be told the flight was overbooked and they gave our seats away. They were very rude and would not even try to explain why they gave our seats away. We were just told to go rebook. We went to that counter and they said they got us rebooked on another flight through Delta. We went to that terminal only to be told the ticket we had was for standby only as their flight was full as well. Alitalia did not care and just wanted to push us off to someone else. Delta were very professional and we're able to get us on a flight home. I will never travel by Alitalia again.

LHR-FCO-GIG-FCO-LHR. Really nice surprise at London Heathrow flying on A321 with old Alitalia livery. Service onboard very professional with an excellent hot snack (omelette and salmon) for a duration of 2.5h. Transfer at Rome Fiumicino painless using fast track lane and the airport has lots of shops and restaurants. The Alitalia Giotto lounge was packed but the drinks selection was fine as well as the variety of sandwiches. Boarding A330 to Rio quick using Sky Priority lane. The aircraft had the new Magnifica Class with a 1-2-1 configuration. It was half full. Plenty of space in overhead lockers however if you seat in the middle there are none and have to use the ones on the side. Pre-taking off drinks given great selection of appetizers and the best moment was the food. Alitalia won best Airline Food recently and I was very much looking forward to it. Succulent Beef with Roasted Mediterranean vegetables as main course and for dessert a light unctuous Neapolitan Almond Cake. A 5 stars food and the espresso is served in a very beautiful cup and lid. The IFE had a good variety of recent movies but I thought the international selection was lacking. They have Flat beds (Only Skyteam airline in Europe to have these) and managed a good 7h sleep with a very comfortable duvet. The amenities given were a Bulgari bag with lots of toiletries products very much appreciated and high class. Staff very professional smiling and very happy to go for the extra mile for the customers. Breakfast consisted of a selection of Italian pastries and cakes with fresh fruits excellent! On the return leg Alitalia uses Air France/KLM lounge that can be cramped at times but it has great selection of hot snacks (the palm tree heart quiches are gorgeous). Boarding the A330 was painless again and the Magnifica class was full this time. Despite taking off 1h later we managed to catch up 30 minutes. The amenities given was another Bulgari bag and the best highlight was the food again with Pork Milanese as main course. Slept a good 7hours and had a copious breakfast before landing in Rome. The A321 to London was on time and service very good again. Overall a good value for money their new Magnifica class is an excellent product their Flat beds very comfortable and it's the Best Food I've ever had on an airline. Would recommend to anyone trying their new Business class either for professional purpose or leisure. Will definitely fly again with Alitalia on the lines featuring the new Magnifica Class.

Nothing seems to have changed since privatisation. Apart from the fact that prices have gone up and a meal is no longer offered including on 3 hours from London to Rome. Check-in staff rude at London Thessaloniki and Rome. Asked to check in an extra bag due to a medical condition and still within the baggage limitations but was asked to pay 40 euros. Flight was only half full. Also very difficult to find the gate for the connecting flight. Crew were only friendly on leg Rome-Thessaloniki and there doesn't seem to be consistency with the service. Only Italian customers seem to get asked whether they want sweet or savoury biscuits. Otherwise they don't even greet when you board and seem preoccupied with their own chat. London to Rome half an hour late without an announcement or apology. There was a customer satisfaction survey on board between Rome and London but only a hand-full of people were picked not sure according to what criteria.

ROMA-ORD on a new A330. Flight on time and FA's professional. Individual inflight entertainment system with USB port at every seat. Great selection of movies and TV shoes. Overall great flight.

MIA-MXP on a new A330 traveling with my wife and infant son. We were greeted by a very nice staff member in Miami who gave us comfortable front row seats with a baby bassinet. Flight staff were courteous and professional. Food was average but not bad and with good portions. An open bar with snacks and beverages was at present for the entire flight and cabin attendants passed offering water frequently. The IFE system is one of the best I’ve seen in an airline – dozens of films games and TV shows in a 9 inch touch-screen and in many different languages. Departure on time we arrived to Milan 20 minutes before schedule. I will definitely fly with Alitalia again.

BOS-NAP in coach. Brand new Airbus 330-200 economy class. Window seats. On time departure and 30 minutes early arrival to FCO. FCO-NAP MD 80 great jets but its time to give them up. Service from Boston to Rome very good food and seats comfortable and the smell of a new air craft made it more enjoyable. I just booked another flight for September and received a great deal on.

LIN-FCO-IST-FCO-LIN. Check-in at Linate was done over the phone so I just had to pick my boarding pass at the counter. Polite staff at the gate changed my seat on the FCO-IST to a better selection. LIN-FCO was a great flight everything smooth and good service. Flight to IST was terrible rude staff and poor food availability. Only a cookie for a 2 hr international flight. Return flight was even worse rude flight attendant and very unhelpful. Service still below standards and lacking. FCO-LIN was a delight compared to the previous flight. Flight crew was totally on another level making the flight enjoyable. No consistency on this airline and should also focus not only on their major route between Milan and Rome.
