SFO-FCO nonstop service
Just read about this, on A350 aircraft.
Alitalia never flew nonstop to Italy out of SFO. They did have LAX-FCO nonstop. The cabins were old.
Read a review of MIA-FCO in business. Competitive 1-2-1 reverse herringbone cabin, not a standout but it sounds much better than the old Alitalia business class.
Very good food quality but limited secondi offerings.
Kind of an interesting wrinkle for SFO but who knows how long ITA will be a separate airline.

They actually announced this flight pre covid as Alitalia. This particular flight started at the beginning of the month and is running until December. When they bring back the flight next Spring, they will be using their new A330-neo on a daily flight.
As mentioned, Alitalia did service SFO to MXP. It started in 1999 and ended shortly after 9/11.

Does one need to go through customs and pick up luggage and re checkin for fco-bcn? 1:40 ok to do this?
thanks
