They filed for bankruptcy not long ago, no telling how much longer they'll actually fly for.

Alitalia's stuggles are nothing new, Etihad owns about a 50% share. I'm sure they will get bailed out again. The Italian government can't keep their flagship airline solvent. It's sad.

Yeah they are basically the national airline for Italy, I wouldn't worry about them pulling an Air Berlin.

I flew on an Alitalia flight from NY to Rome back in ~1998 that was a smoking flight. That was a new experience for a 17 year old, along with the free vino.

I haven't flown them yet, but they're easily one of the most recognizable brands in the world.

Marvelous

Flew Alitalia this July from FCO to JFK in business. Food and wine was awesome, beat the shite out of Delta on the way over.

I flew with them from Athens to Rome last year but don’t remember anything specific about them, which is a good thing. I always fly coach and don’t really look for anything more than a timely, hassle free flight.

For me, flights are like punt snaps. They’re only memorable when they go bad.

Flew them from Milan to Cagliari (Sardinia) a few years ago and it was fine. No problems.
