Summer 2022 - Flying ITA Airways from Rome to New York JFK in Premium Economy on an Alitalia A330

You can always buy me a coffee to support the channel: www.buymeacoffee.com/aerotrav...
Recently I flew with ITA Airways from Rome Fiumicino to New York JFK in premium economy. This was my first time flying with ITA Airways on an intercontinental route.
The flight is AZ610 and it was operated with an Alitalia Airbus A330. I have point out that this flight vlog is indicative of ITA Airways' Premium Economy product on the A330. ITA has taken over Alitalia's operations and things are being changed constantly. As a result, the product is in transition and evolving. If we have to be realistic, a whole airline and its product can't be changed overnight.
Nevertheless, this flight was a very good experience despite the one hour delay. However, that wasn't such a big problem as I had more time during my overlay in Rome Airport. There is plenty of space in Premium Economy. Food is really good and supposedly much better than in Economy. The crew was extremely friendly and pleasant. The flight attendants provided excellent service.
I hope you will enjoy this flight vlog. Make sure to subscribe to my channel, if you haven't done so! More ITA Airways flight vlogs are coming soon!
You can watch the complete landing in New York JFK in a separate video:

I’m trying to plan transportation to my flag ahead of time but I’m struggling as I’m not sure how long it’ll be from the moment I land, to when I’m out of the airport!

    I wouldn't worry. Alitalia ceased flying in October 2021. Operations were restarted under a new company - ITA Airways. As things are changing constantly, probably in April 2023 the product will be more ITA and less Alitalia. What will probably not change is that the flights to Miami will be still operated with A330 instead of A350.

    Hi Dim, We are flying ITA Airways from JFK to Rome in September. What was your experience with carry on luggage. It seems to be hard to find any carry-on that is within there guidelines. Were they very strict when checking the bags or did they let take a bag on as long as it looked about carry on size. Also if you checked luggage did it arrive with your flight. Thanks for any help.

    They are strict. My husband and I flew ITA busines class out of JFK to FCO 2 weeks ago and they required we put our carry-ons in the measuring rack and weighed the luggage. Expect more and more airlines to be doing this with the record amounts of people that are now flying. Easy to find the dimensions required in soft or hard case with plenty of brands.

I get free access with them and Star Alliance lounges because I have elite Star Alliance status and my husband has elite Sky Team status. While some airlines grant you lounge access for payment if flying PE or Eco, some airlines are now starting to review their policies and going back to elite status or business class passengers only because flying is at an all time high and lounges are becoming crowded. Also some airlines are now allowing paying lounge access passengers in only if there is space and also restricting the time in the lounge to 3 hours. It does make sense.

    You will need proof of vaccination unless you can provide proof that you have medical contradictions to getting a COVID-19 vaccine. This applies not only to Italians but to foreigners in general. I am afraid you will not be allowed to board without proof of vaccination (even if you have had a test).

    Flying ITA was like flying Spirit or Frontier. It was one of the worst airlines I’ve flown internationally. I was in the the Economy class but the screen didnt work, moms who let their toddlers run everywhere including one who would change both her kids diapers on the seat and not use the restroom. I know the flight attendants have a lot of stress on them but none said anything about the aisles filled with kids playing or that this woman can change diapers right on her seat. There is no etiquette when flying any longer.

    Stop putting the onus on cabin personnel for everything that is wrong with people who don't know how to behave in public. And this has nothing to do with the airline you are flying on as it could of happened on any airline and in any class of flying. How about putting the onus on parents who think it's ok for their kids to run around. I have flown on low fairs domestically where children were well behaved and no later than late this winter, my husband and I were flying business class overseas and while everyone was asleep, one father in business class, thought it was ok to let his 9 year old child run all the way down through economy and back into business, physically slapping people out of their sleep and laugh about it. After several polite requests from passengers, the purser finally warned the father that police would be waiting at destination if he let his son bother the passengers. Magically the son stayed in his seat and watched tv for the rest of the flight. Funny how that works....
