Add to that the fact that US has dayrooms at the Fiumicino Hilton reserved on arrival for all business passengers, a very nice touch and good way to start your day.

These were of course started long ago and if current managment in Tempe found out they'd have a heart attack. But come on UA!!!

Thanks for the great information. I am burning 60k of my remaining US miles on business class ticket to FCO on the US discounted winter biz award.

UA is hands down the winner in the sky for the C passenger
US is hands down the winner on the ground (PHL Envoy lounge, FCO Arrivals & Departure Lounges) and in cost when using miles.

Please US, don't take this benefit away!
