Alitalia MilleMiglia - Will my status appear on the boarding pass...

...or should I re-insert my frequent flyer number?
My next flights (MAN-AMS-WAW-AMS-MAN) later this week will finally bring me up to Gold with Flying Blue. My question, however, is concerning a couple of Alitalia flights I'm booked on later in December (FCO-WAW-FCO): as per title, will my status be showing on the boarding pass or is there anything I should do to make this happen? I'm fairly sure (actually, 100% sure) that I'll not get my card before my flights with Alitalia hence my question.
P.S.: all I'm bothered about, as you can imagine, is accessing the lounge.
Many thanks,
G

I'm not sure the status appears on the boarding pass, although there will be FQTV. If you have either the card or a printed e-mail proving your status then you can probably ask the person at the check-in desk or in the lounge what to do.

Cheers, bungler, as ever. I hope, in that case, that I will get the welcome email from KLM confirming my Gold status. I have to say that, the last time I made it Freccia Alata with Alitalia, I had my status updated in about 2 weeks and, shortly after, I even received the card (here in the UK), so you never know, I might be lucky and get the Flying Blue Gold card in time for my Alitalia flights :)

On the boarding rightly points out you will see "FQTV" under your name and in AZ's case on AZ flights you also see "CFA". Not sure if they write ST+ but they should do..
When flying AA with BA gold I was always shocked at the fact they ALWAYS said (when I was flying Y) "Thank you for being an Excecutive Plat, would you like a free drink from the bar?"

KL should definately send you an e mail though and I would take a print out to be safe

It will say ELP as opposed to CFA.
