This is an attempt to spin off the discussion about experiences and mileage crediting while on so-called mileage run fares, so it doesn't clutter the main thread and we can keep that clear for any fare offers and any issues with booking them.
My Alitalia flights from Athens to Amsterdam (via Rome FCO) were quite pleasant with attentive service and decent meals. I again enjoyed the Umbrian white wine on offer and I also tried the Prosecco which, while I am no Prosecco fan, I thought was very good. Furthermore, the onboard beer is not the usual Heineken water but a brew called Forst, which with such a name must have been brewed somewhere up in the Südtirol (Alto Adige), probably near Bolzano.
The photos which follow show both the standard meal and the seafood special meal, which is best ordered by calling the Alitalia call center.
