Apr 20, 2024Has anybody recently flown AZ on the above route? If so, could you please throw a light on the following:
- Lounge: which one would I use at FCO? Moreover, is there an AZ or Sky Team lounge at WAW?
- Aircraft: any idea of the plane normally in use on this particular route? I've heard that it is usually a former AP's A320?
- Catering: 'rumors' suggest that AZ recently upgraded their European business class product - is that correct and what am I likely to get in terms of food?
Any tips in relation to the above would be highly appreciated.
With thanks in advance,
G

Once you clear security, the Borromini at T3, gate area 'D'.

There is also the lounge on the crowd floor just near the check in...it was Skyteam was memory but was closed, so they directed people to the Freccia Alata lounge a few metres down.

NO - only quite mediocre Airport Authority Lounge. It is small, but quite deserted these days (since when LO and Star Alliance opened their dedicated lounge upstairs).Originally Posted by AlicorporateUK

I was in the WAW lounge a few weeks ago. All I remember is packages of chips, cookies, a small self-service bar and some very dry cake. This was morning, so maybe there will be more in the afternoon. At least the wifi worked.Originally Posted by AlicorporateUK

Just flown IEV-ROM. The food is same sh.. (sorry) as it was, though to some extent better than AF shorthaul premium food.
The only and quite a significant improvement from last year is new silverware - it is now quite heavy and more genuine for a business class.
On the downside is the prosecco being served from a big bottle (0.75l) rather than having a small bottle given to passengers, but this could be one flight problem rather than a new policy.

Thanks very much. The funny thing is that they even re-branded their business class promising a brand new product in terms of catering Originally Posted by Keter

Out of interest, what did you get [in terms of food] on your flight?Quote:
Well, it doesn't take much to beat the awful AF's plastic box Originally Posted by Keter

Have never seen this salad. I normally get sliced meat and piece of spinach pizza or something of a kind. The only piece of rebranding is new silverware. I will try to put a picture to airlinemeals soon.Originally Posted by AlicorporateUK

Perhaps because it was a longer flight (yours). I used to fly mainly CDG/AMS-FCO (connecting from MAN), which are relatively short segments.Originally Posted by Keter

mmm... New AZ service: flight from Ciampino to Fiumicino to avoid traffic, perhaps? Originally Posted by Keter
