ALITALIA boarding process?
I bought an economy comfort seat ($85 on top of my Delta Skymiles award ticket) on Alitalia (seat 29a on airbus 330) Boston to Rome. Does anyone know what the boarding process is? I have no status on Alitalia and have been told that economy comfort seating does not come with any early boarding privileges. Would prefer not to check my one small rollerbag so looking to get on board before the overheads fill up. Any info appreciated.

Welcome to FT.
Business Class, Freccia Alata Plus, Freccia Alata and Ulisse passengers all get priority boarding whereas I'm afraid that's not the case for those travelling in Premium Economy. That said, I wouldn't worry too much about overhead bins' space when travelling in PE hence you can easily bring your small suitcase with you on board.

29A is a regular economy seat (not premium economy) with more legroom at the emergency exit. There will be standard bording for this seat, and overhead bins may fill up quickly. And you have to stow your baggage in the overhand bins, as there's no seat in front of you and you can't stow it on the floor. Try to bord as soon, when economy class passengers are called to bord.

Thanks for spotting and clarifying this for the OP ^
