I would have been surprised had it let me book the LGA-DCA Shuttle. There always seems to be some sort of rule exception attached to that route.
So now, after half a dozen tries, I give up. I am taking my MIA-LGA RT that it let me book and knocking off.
I probably will not be able to resist trying it again on Monday.

You can log in to delta.com-go to my trips- go to find a trip-enter first& last name and confirmation number-press go-. Your reservation will then show up with both Alitalia and Delta confirmation numbers. As soon as you add in your skymiles number your upgrade will be automatically requested and you should be able to pick EC seats.
My reservation booked into "T" class.

Just successfully booked one. AUS-SAN. I tried it earlier and got the error but when I reserved it segment by segment it worked. Confirmation email received almost immediately. The only glitch: my SkyMiles number did not make it over to the DL system, so it did not initially appear in my upcoming trips. However, you can use the Alitalia confirmation number to pull it up on delta.com. That will give you the DL PNR. A quick call to the Medallion line fixed the SM number problem, so all upgrades requested and I can pick good seats.
Booked into T class.

You know what's weird... I haven't actually booked it yet but when looking at SLC-JFK-SLC round-trip I can still get the outbound via BOS for those extra miles and the nonstop on the return, and it doesn't give me any problem; I can even put in the code and recalculate the price. Does the issue appear after that, or am I just lucky?

So if you need 100% assurance of having those two features, you probably are best off taking a pass on this discount and booking elsewhere.

i am also a skeptic, but those that have booked on Alitalia already have said that the itinerary, when viewed on delta.com, shows up as a U fare ticket. U fare gets all the perks and bonuses as advertised by DL so I would say yes, go ahead and book and don't worry about it.

I was able to get free domestic EC as a GM on the fare I purchased. Don't see any reason why you wouldn't get free international EC as a PM. I don't expect any problems with miles.
