Alitalia - A330 200 - Economy - New York (JFK) to Rome (FCO) | TRIP REPORT
Welcome to another trip report!
On May 17, I flew Alitalia's Economy product on one of their A330s from New York's JFK Airport to Leonardo da Vinci International Airport. I feel like it was pretty mediocre compared to other European airlines Economy products.
I hope you enjoy!

Someone who's actually done an economy class review. How oddly refreshing to find a review actually relevant to the life of over 90% of travellers.

hell when i can live large, i take premium economy.
“Pretty mediocre pre-meal service” . I can’t remember the last time i even got a pre-meal service. Been flying with Iberia, air canada, and latam for 20 years and have never got one (unless i was in business) so you should be thankful 😂
I’ve been on the 777 from Rome to JFK New York and the flight was awesome
Yet another fantastic video, Quintin...I can tell that you really pay attention to details when you edit and it makes a difference and what sets you apart from everyone else.
I really like the design of the cabin and the complimentary drinks layed out in the galley was a nice touch.
Very nice. I think I like your style a lot. Great effort seems to have been taken to set up the travel vibe. Like the airport arrival. Subscribed!
What, you actually did an economy trip report?! Amazing
On one flight from New York they skipped my row ( I was alone on that side ) during drinks service. I was awake, not sleeping. I rang the bell and nobody ever showed up . Great service 👍
What a amazing video I love the editing effects, keep it up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely like the editing on this trip report, balance of time in minutes on each scene, luv the slowmo effect on pouring juice just like TV adver/commercial and when to add background music and let visuals do the talking... getting more professional
Great trip report! I love the colors in the cabin!
The music is perfect for your videos, don’t listen to the negative comments and you keep doing what you’ve been doing.
Awesome video! Excellent editing! I especially like that you added that nostalgic footage at the end. =D

Another great piece of work! Thanks
So cool. We’re going same flight too next month. 😉 Update 2021 : Just got back from our NCL Epic journey yesterday. It was an amazing experience. Good service and their staff were phenomenal. The only thing the downside was their food in the buffet section “Garden Cafe” which was always same food everyday. So we decided to eat on a different restaurant like Manhattan, Taste, and O’Sheehans. They’re all complimentary and you’ll see it on their freestyle newsletter that they give you every day in your stateroom. The Italy trip was kind of a bummer bec you have to stay with the group. The last group tour called “ Highlights of Sardinia” (?) we had was kind of a rushed. We paid $54 pp which was not worth it at all. The whole time we were on a bus we only stop once to take photos then the tour guide wasn’t that great at all. Oh well. We were planning to go on a tour to Florence although someone said that the Florence wasn’t even open so we decided to just take the Highlights of Sardinia instead. The Barcelona and the Mallorca tour was great bec they let you go on your own. I guess it depends how you feel about it. As I said some people may find it ok. Also I suggest if you’re going to be on your own, try the Hop on Hop off bus. It’s cheaper to just buy the ticket right on the bus stop. There’s quite a few Hop on Hop off busses available. Just be patience when communicating with them coz some of them you really have to talked in a simple English as well as with a hand gestures. Another warning too is their WiFi. You pay extra to get the unlimited WiFi but so slow and can be only use one person at a time(per stateroom). Fortunately I have a data roaming on my phone so I can use my service when on land. On your downtime on NCL, another suggestion too is to go to their shows too. We enjoyed watching the Priscilla the Queen of the Dessert and Burn the Floor were free of charged. You just have to be a little early if you want to get on a good seating while the Zambooka needs reservations. Our flight to Rome, was nice too. We stayed there for two days then went to the port. Please do not try walking on your own bec at first that’s what the guy from our hotel told us that we’re staying at said to us that it’s only 15 mins walked but turned around it wasn’t even walkable. We found out that there’s a shuttle bus you can take from the train station to the port. Costs only €2 pp. This is only if you’re in Rome. It’s quite an experienced. Another experienced we had of our flight was we took the Alitalia airlines. It was fine going to Rome but when coming back home, we discovered that they don’t operate anymore. Luckily we were at the airport early enough that the ticketing service was kind enough to get us on a diff plane bec he said that our Alitalia flight doesn’t exist anymore, lol.

What a great video! I love Alitalia but mostly i love the A330, and that B777 at the end of the video😍. Love It!
this Q re-view is presented by the memory of Alitalia (RIP). fairly uneventful flight but it contains a lot of good photography. another job well done Quebec Foxtrot Sierra and thanks for sharing!!
Quando hai zoommato sulla fabbrica mi hai fatto venire il mal d'aria ma è stato bellissimo, spettacolare zoom ottico. Bellissimo davvero
Nice landing. Very smooth.
In flights from Brazil (about 11 hours long) they serve the same dinner, plus a sandwich in the half of the flight. The breakfast usually comes with a bread, cheese and some ham or turkey, and with some hot pastry. They usually sell cheaper tickets than AF or KLM.
_Great Review_ Hope they can come back stronger! *(Best Wishes)*
Awesome video man liked
Nice to see that the flight attendants were not snobs about the filming like the emirates flight attendants and Aer Lingus ones were

Today, Alitalia will fly from Chaseville/Santa Angela to Florence, Milan, and Rome, Italy! I am getting a first class ticket for my first flight to Milan from Chaseville/Santa Angela. Signed, Poby the Polar Bear.
This was great. I wonder how the inflight device will change post covid. Planning a trip to Italy summer of next year. So looking to see what amenities are offered so I’ll know how to prepare.
I’ve just booked a trip to Tokyo on the same seat. Was it a good one?

Hehehehe!! I hear you. Yeah, sometimes meal service in Economy Class by other airlines will leave the foil partially open so that you can see that your meal was cooked in their oven on the airplane there. So that you can see the steam come out of that meal...
Very good flight
I"m liking the extreme end of your vid--a company 747 taxiing at either ATL or MIA,what with all those long-defunct Eastern Airlines a/c in the background--chances are that footage was filmed long before you were born! Interesting effect on your camera lens as you were walking through the cabin,it looked as if your lens was cloudy--had a Twilight Zone thought--to have a flight with a normal cabin crew consist but as you walk through all the cabins,none of the crew can be found,as if all vanished into thin air,literally!

Hi Steve , I use to fly FCO-LAX often and Alitalia is a valid carrier. Now they are owned by the Italian government so the economic situation is under control. They are very underestimate , but my personal opinio is that Alitalia is not worse than Air France, KLM , Iberia, BA etc. Need to test once. Ciao!

Nice trip report. You had a very good wing view. The legroom wasn't very comfortable, and IFE was old
does anyone know how strict are with the luggage carry on size in alitalia for international flights? i have a huge issue finding a carry on that meet the standards of both star alliance members like Lufthansa and swiss... and those belong in the other one..like delta air france and alitalia...
In JFK with an alitalia ticket you can go also to the Airfrance lounge, it’s nicer than the alitalia’s one. I tried it, it’s not so far from the Alitalia lounge
great view also includes a 346
I love Rome! Nice video!
with this vid-im convinced that Alitalia has come back to acceptable service-newer cleaner planes acceptable service ! i would give Alitalia a chance-next trip !

Well, not bad there in Economy...The bathroom is very close to you...I do like when I have a wall behind me and somewhat on the side of me.. Yeah, you seat does not go all the way back but still a good seat. I see you looked all the way into the back of Economy...I like your seat....Heheheheh...Over the wing and very close to the bathroom...I hope Rome was good for you and your family...Always fly safe....
Wow dude! I also flew AZ603 in economy, and EI-WLA also departed shortly before my flight. I had seat 33L on EI-EJL. As always, great trip report. Note: description says N123AB but should say EI-EJG. The econ seats I had were the most uncomfortable ever. Other than that good report.
You should do an LCC throwdown, comparing Southwest, Alaska, JetBlue, and Sun Country, then you compare them.
Overall, a good Economy experience. The dinner looked better-than-average, and plastic cutlery is pretty standard. The IFE seemed fully adequate, and wifi was available. How about power outlets?
