Alitalia Lounge Access arriving FCO?
We are flying Z class from JFK - FCO on Alitalia. Is there a lounge upon arrival we can use to shower? We arrive at 6am and would like to shower and head straight out. I called Alitalia and they said with business class you can get lounge access upon arrival, but since this is international, once you pass customs is there a way to access the lounge?

there is definitely an alitalia lounge with at least two showers in terminal 3 /boarding area E (former Alitalia Club Freccia Alata Lounge Le Navi).
One shower for male and one shower for female. Access is from the respective restroom.
the lounge is before passing immigration and customs - in the transfer area. so you need to head to the lounge first and then to the airport exit.

I'm looking at options for flights USA-TLV in J in a couple of months. One of the options is to connect in FCO rather than taking the nonstop JFK-TLV. The flight USA-FCO would be on DL, and the flight FCO-TLV would be on AZ. I'd have a 4-5 hour layover in FCO depending on the originating gateway in the USA.
If I were to take this option, how much of a headache would it be to try to access the Casa Alitalia lounge that has a shower? I'm assuming that both flights would be on concourse E and that I'd never have to pass passport control since I'd be in transit between two non-schengen countries. Is that a correct assumption?

I did EZE-FCO-TLV last year with a 3 hour connection in Rome. I did enjoy Casa Alitalia during my transit as I didn't have to clear immigration in Schengenland - I assume it's the same for your case.
