Help! Trying to get a family of 4 on this deal, but unable to get any dates to work on Orbitz or CheapTickets. Would prefer to get a minimum of one week during the summer with most of the time spent in FCO. Anybody pull up any dates, please email me. Thanks!

I have seats on my AC and AA flights, but says the Cyprus/Alitalia flights will be assigned at airport. Are the rest of you getting this as well?

Does anyone still see any availability for Thur/Fri-->Mon trips over the summer? I was in the middle of nbooking two trips and stupid Orbitz crashed and I couldn't retrieve what I had - now all their results show no availability when booking.
Travelocity has been completely useless and never showed the fare to me at all while Orbitz still had it bookable

IMO, AZ's 777 biz seats are better than all the US carrier's biz seats currently in service. AZ's 767 -- which is what seems currently scheduled -- seats are not as great but are comfortable enough. The big shortcoming is lack of personal in-flight entertainment for the current 767 seats. (The 777's IFE system is rather good.) [AZ's not unknown for swapping equipment.]
AZ's in-flight service I find to be generally better (and more genuine) than most other US and European carriers. I do find AZ's catering to be somewhat weak. The real downside for me on AZ's long-haul service is AZ's ground operation and the lack of personal IFE on the 767s and problems with the audio feed at the seats.
AZ's lounges at MXP have too few showers (most of the time) and are too crowded and have little to offer most of the time. (They also removed the free internet computers due to anti-terrorism legislation and never cared to do the necessary to put it back in.) Also, the "rescreening" security process can be a pain (although nowhere near as idiotically intrusive as at FRA, AMS and CDG). A MXP issue is the airport's heavy reliance on buses instead of jet bridges.

Found lots of dates with "D" class on ExpertFlyer, however niether Cheaptickets nor Orbitz bring up ANY fares when searching for Business on Alitalia. When putting this on any airline, just gets really high fares on combination of airlines.....
Don't think this will be around much longer...
Also for those getting seated in economy on your YYZ-NYC/IAD/BOS portions are most likely flying on an RJ with no J section.... I pulled up some fares that had E75 on the EWR-YYZ on AC with seats in business...
