The Freccia Alata club page says the following regarding "Business For You":
BUSINESS FORYOU
With Business ForYou, you can request up to four free upgrades to Classica Plus – Premium Economy Class or Ottima – Business Class for yourself or for the person of your choice.
Business ForYou is valid for Alitalia tickets in Classica – Economy (booking classes Y, B, M and H) on medium- and long-haul international flights operated by Alitalia.
But it's not right that Freccia Alata can use these upgrades on longhaul, is it?
Or is my understanding that:
"Ottima" = medium haul = narrow body plane, European (mainly) routes, typical middle-seat-blocked "businesss" class?
"Magnifica" = long haul = widebody plane, aka "proper" business class
also incorrect?
On the
Club Advantages table it seems pretty clear that Freccia Alata upgrades can only be used for Business Class on medium haul (Ottima):
Am I therefore correct in saying that only Freccia Alata Plus passengers can hope to use these upgrades to Business Class on long haul (Magnifica)?
I also just wanted to draw attention to this, in case any other new MilleMiglia customers weren't aware about the restrictions.
Or can someone give more information on the differences between Ottima/Magnifica, and on which routes they are deployed? Grazie!
