Just looked today and found that IM has released many business class award seats from ORD to FCO for July. There are several First class awards available as well. I was able to score 2 saturday to saturday for 80k miles each. I know everyone shouldn't start posting everytime an award opens up, but i think these are pretty sought after awards and i thought i'd share.
also, i checked the same dates from IAD, where all ORD - FCO connect thru, and there was nothing....is this normal?
Hope this helps somebody
