For a minute, I thought you meant RCHHMP.

As of september 9th 2017 - Alitalia lounge

Hi!

As of september 9, am in the Alitalia lounge in gates E area waiting for YUL flight. Upstairs has a/c working fine. Very bland lounge with wear and tear, basic food offerings (pastries, cold cuts, cheese, some scrambled eggs/potatoes) good capuccinos 🤗

Hi everyone,

Just wondering what the lounge situation is this days at FCO. Any change from previous posters?

Also, how efficient is the check in process, security, exit customs these days on AC? I just read this nightmare article from an American flyer: https://theshortfinal.com/flying-fro...u-should-know/ A bit worrying!

Alitalia lounge (for AC) is in the E gate area (I had to use the BA lounge). I was there early today ~6:30 AM. I could see it getting busy with the NA flights mid-morning/afternoon in July, but on par with FRA on a busy afternoon.

What about the new Star Alliance Lounge that opened this month? It says to be mostly convenient for Shengen flights (zone D), but is it accessible for AC flyers?

Also fun to know there will be a Star Alliance Lounge in AMS by next year.

At the risk of being a bit OT, why does US get their own line? Non EU for me!

Can anyone tell me where the AC checkin is in T3, or might a detailed terminal map be available? I want to orient myself and get to check in as quickly as possible and not waste time searching for what I assume will be a tiny AC counter.

Flew out of FCO in J a week ago. AC J pax can now use the brand new Alitalia lounge in area E (after passport control). It's fantastic, spacious, comfy seats and atmosphere, amazing varied food offering and bar service.
