Be sure to print out your itin and take it with you in the event that your BP shows something different than your itin does.
The good news is that if you are flying on a reconfigured Alitalia plane, you will be treated to the best SkyTeam business class offering across the pond. The seats are nearly identical to the new 763/764 flat beds on DL but better. The tray table doesn't take an engineering degree and instruction manual to use and the space inside the footwell is much more generous. Most of the footwells are open on one side.
Also, since you're traveling with someone, you can choose the lovebird seats, which are right next to each other and both consoles are on the aisle. If you want to be that close.
Yes, we wanted the honeymoon seats which seem perfect for us, closer to your companion and a bit further off the aisle. We'll follow-up as the date gets closer to make sure the seats don't change, but looking at the AZ seating charts now and the ones they told us we have are now marked as occupied. Good sign.
Was a little nervous flying AZ, and this issue didn't help, but I agree the seat design looks great and the food/wine is supposed to be a notch above Delta. My only TATL J experiences are Delta recliner seats and one round-trip on the new lie-flat on US Airways, which was miles ahead, but mixed reviews on the food.
