We were the only ones at the check in counter today. There weren’t many signs of Air Domoliti and it was surprising how little it was broadcast and marketed. Even the Apple Wallet Boarding card for Air Domolti was Lufthansa Orange.



Sadly, the outer terminal at Venice is a complete dive. A few sorry cafes and not very much to deal with. We headed inside to attempt to source some dinner. Once inside, there were wine shops, a reasonable food fair upstairs and an interesting library feature with books to read.





We had no lounge access today but thankfully strong and free wi-fi that didn’t drop or disconnect.

We found the food fair upstairs and I had some cheese and pepper pasta. Not too bad and only 8.90€. It tasted better than it looked.





At the gate, boarding call but no line enforcement for priority or business.





During the boarding process, we passed by the “business class” seats for Air Domolti. They look a lot (exactly the same) as the economy seats.



We took our carry on rollies on and managed to squeeze them into the overheads on the Embruaer 195. A first for me- the flight snack of pretzels was handed to you as you boarded to take back to your seat.



Air Domolti has a nice green pleasant interior with the large Embruaer windows. Today’s economy seating with a comment from MrsWT73 “ We sure are flying a lot of economy lately” (groan)







There was a beverage service on today’s flight (no food). White wine and still water was offered and quickly consumed!



It was a very quick and easy flight over to Munich. We parked at the gate next to another Lufthansa short body jet.



With a long escalator ride down and a short train ride over to the main terminal to collect the bags at the baggage hall.





We didn’t get any Aeroplan Miles for this flight, even though the check in software system recognized status on the boarding cards and codeshare Lufthansa flights (connecting to international) are eligible for credit. We didn’t book direct through the Lufthansa website as the flight was 100% more expensive.

In summary, Air Domolti was a great way to get around Europe. The staff were mostly cheerful and it was another odd ball subsidiary of Lufthansa that seems to do well throughout Europe.
