FCO Domestic Lounge Is Open

I am happy to report that the new ITA lounge at FCO is open as of this morning. This in the old AZ space near E8. They have done a nice remodel.

Access is tricky. If you are ST Elite and connecting from an international SkyTeam flight then no problem. If you are trying to access as a Volare Executive then you need to show your confirmation email from ITA as they have not issued credentials yet. Yes, the one you got in October.

Side note - being Executive also means agents can waive the fee to change your seat. When I asked as a ST elite they refused to do it.

ITA appears to have also moved almost all domestic flights to the E concourse as of this morning.

Do you mean SkyTeam Elite or ElitePlus? ElitePlus (DL GM+ at 50,000 status miles per year) has always been the SkyTeam requirement for lounge access, not just Elite (which corresponds to the lowest level on DL, FO at 25,000 status miles or 30 segments per year).

Quick question. I am flying from Fiumicino to London on Sunday. I am on a hand baggage only fare. If I am Volare Executive (Skyteam Elite Plus), am I going to get a free check-in bag?

I have no clue but please, report back if you can.
I've been unable to find any hint regarding baggage allowances with status on ITA (non surprising)

Good if true, but the real proof will be at check-in. Call me biased, I don't really trust an Italian call center
