Post your AZ jetway picture here
Following this thread, I thought it would be fun but also somehow useful for those, for instance, looking to make a tight connection and wanting to know whether it is likely to get a bus to/from the plane, so I hope we will get a few contributions (if you're too shy to take a picture of an 320 docked on to an air-bridge, it would still be great if you could provide feedback e.g. airport, flight number, boarding via bus/jetway etc. or whatever you wish). Now, we all know that FCO can be quite unpredictable, but this is also part of the fun so please feel free to report back if you're flying to/from FCO.
Alright, let's start (contribution from yesterday):
AZ491 | WAW | Gate 26
Following this flight, we de-boarded through gate B3 and eventually boarded AZ208 from gate G12 and, again, straight on to the plane (no picture - sorry!).

Nov30 AZ204 FCO-LHR: Bus from a B gate to the G satellite and another bus from G10 back to a gate in T3 (?) where we climbed a couple flights of narrow stairs to access the jetway to the plane.
We only missed the bus to T5 for a perfect trifecta

I think the jetway was too big for the little SAAB 2000
24 minutes flight today for an astonishing PEG-FCO on AZ1658
p.s. only 4 connections from Perugia to the airport during the hole day...and the last one was at 15:00.
Really a shame!

@Sciamano - thanks for contributing and... keep them coming!
On a few occasions AZ swapped the usual ATR for a 320 on the PSR-FCO service which, on such short route (just the time to see the Appennino mountains below us and the captain had already announced that we would have been landing in 10 minutes), was quite fun!

Engine noise apart, it has been a very enjoyable experience.

I've probably just been lucky but, since Dovster's thread, I think I got on a bus to/from the plane only a couple of times (including a very unusual occasion at Schiphol after a KL flight on B737): gate B1 arriving from WAW on my last WAW-FCO and gate 210 at IST (both AZ-operated flights)

Yesterday evening as 90% of the time no jetway arriving from NCE. We parked near T3 G gates and had a bus tour of the new T3 gate area work in progress.
AZ fan will spot that this is the first A320 with the new colors presented months ago along with the new A330 and the new longhaul product.
Boarding in NCE (from a jetway) I took a picture of one of the AZ staff messages on the plane. It basically says " I will work hard to make alitalia our passengers' favorite airlines"....

I consider Italian design to be the top of the top and this is why I wonder: do these "grey spots" on the upper part of the plane also look like patches of repaired paint in reality, or is it just the picture?

They are stickers-like and hopefully will be removed over time.
