I just flew the outbound of that Alitalia Business Class deal from Brussels to Valencia via Rome. I really enjoyed it and thought the service was outstanding. Nice meal service (if I can work out how to do it from the phone I'll post some meal shots over in the Alitalia forum), with good wines including a Barbera d'Asti.

Wow, that really worked. I'm pleased about that! You can see that business class is pretty much the same as economy, except for a small tray table occupying the middle seat. Here's a couple shots of the very snowy Austrian and Italian Alps.
And here is a link to the thread in the Alitalia forum which discusses service in European business class:

Just one question: how do I find the booking subclass for this Valencia ticket? I recollect seeing it was in I-class .. i think .. but I can't remember where. Saudia isn't showing it and nor is Alitalia.

[QUOTE=delanotre;30744870]If you paid around €982, Matrix is your friend: class I
Are you kidding? I paid around €304 for it!! Wouldn't be a mileage run otherwise. Any of you making it down to Valencia should check out the food scene here. And the drink scene!

[QUOTE=Concerto;30747678]Did you get to any of the Ricard Camerena places? Had a lovely dinner at his main joint last November just before it got the second star. Fum de Llum was my favourite 'ordinary' restaurant.

There are several I class fares. The 982 EUR fare including tax is for purchase less than 2 days before departure, there is a 750 EUR fare with purchase 2+ days before departure and the 300 EUR fare for purchase 7+ days before departure.

Thanks for clarifying about the I-class fares. About the food scene, I've come to the conclusion that I'm a bit disappointed after a couple days here. Can't even get a really decent cup of coffee like in Italy, it's hit or miss, mostly miss. Down at the beach, the adjoining neighborhood is a bit run down and grim, there's not a lot there. But I did find a place (Bodega Pascuala) which did a huge Menu del Dia including 2 glasses ok wine, bread on the table and coffee for €8.95. Very basic cuisine, but good. They do huge boccadillos too!

[QUOTE=PeteM01;30747705]
Sorry, I didn't make it to Fum de Llum, just didn't have the time on my last day. I can highly recommend the Menu del Día at Refugio (€14, 3 courses, excellent) and Cinnamon (€15, 3 courses, outstanding).
I am derailing this thread and I apologize for that. I intend to create a separate thread for Flying Blue mileage and XP collection trips where we can share these ideas, so we can focus on mileage run deals in this thread.
