So my question here is who exactly operates this flight??
It will be a Lufthansa Italia flight operated by a BMI aircraft with BMI crew (some of whom speak Italian). On the BMI website if you hover the cursor over the flight number it will tell you that the operating airline is Lufthansa and that the aircraft owner is BMI.
2) This flight leaves Milan at 9:30PM and arrives in London at 10:30PM. What sort of meal service can I expect in Business Class at this hour?
I have only flown this route in Economy in late afternoon but the food was better than the average Lufthansa offering. I think you will get a hot meal in Business.
3) What exactly is the rule for the number of carry-on bags for this flight? The LH webapge says that in Business class you are allowed to bring 2 items aboard, but then below that there is a disclaimer that says certain flights out of Italy are only allow you to bring 1 item aboard. Will I be able to bring 1 item or 2 aboard with me when I leave Milan?
I believe there's still a disclaimer somewhere on the LH website that only one piece of hand luggage may be carried on flights ex-UK.
(This was left from a few years ago when the number of hand luggage through UK airports was very restricted.) I don't expect you will be limited to one piece of hand luggage when leaving MXP.
