That's very useful information. FCO has some very interesting prices, due to the complexion of airlines that compete against BA from there. However B2B, as you indicate, meant going to the lower level of the satellite, on a shuttle, and through a security control which could get sticky. After the fire there was quite a lot of rebuilding work, and indeed would be interesting if they have reconfigured the BA gates. So yes, more reports would be good.
