Alitalia Air Hostess

The highly competitive environment of air travel requires Air France to continually adapt in order to give our customers an impeccable quality of service while pursuing the continual objective of Flight Safety.

With excellent interpersonal skills, good listening skills and strong team spirit, Air France flight attendants are the Company's main ambassadors to customers and carry out the following main activities:

In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the 6th of March, 1969, where Alitalia air hostesses proudly model their brand new uniforms. The image captures a moment in time when aviation and fashion seamlessly merged together. The sixties were an era defined by bold style choices and these air hostesses perfectly embody that spirit. Dressed impeccably in their sleek uniforms, they exude confidence and elegance as they stand beside an aircraft. Their fashionable hats add a touch of glamour to their already stunning appearance. This photograph not only showcases the beauty of these women but also symbolizes the progressiveness of the aviation industry during that period. It serves as a reminder that flight attendants were more than just employees; they were ambassadors for both airlines and fashion trends. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, it is impossible not to appreciate how far we have come since then. Yet, there is something nostalgic about witnessing such grace and poise on display amidst the hustle and bustle of airport life. Memory Lane Prints has once again captured a remarkable moment from history with this print - one that reminds us of an era when air travel was glamorous and stylishly celebrated by these extraordinary women who took pride in representing Alitalia's impeccable service standards.

This is how Alitalia delivered to me my original 17th century Lewis viola da gamba, after ensuring to me that it would be TAKEN BY HAND into the plane and out of it! It was savagely vandalized, it and it seems that a car ran over it. So, far no luck in contacting any human being at Alitalia, and the only answer got so far is that the company takes no responsibility!

According to Myrna, she tried to book a second seat but they said that it was impossible because the flight was too full. Instead, they promised that the gamba would be transported by hand to and from the plane at all times. It was also travelling in an excellent flight case.

Stop defaming Alitalia since this could have happen with any company, the damage has been done by employees of the airports who handle the luggage either in Rome or Tel Aviv period. The Alitalia hostess may have instructed orally the airport worker to handle it gently but this does not mean that he will do for 100% and the same in Tel Aviv. If you travel with a precious luggage you 1) have proper insurance and 2) book a second seat end of story.

Yet more evidence for what I have been banging on about for years:- such damage is being inflicted deliberately, by baggage handlers who see destroying an instrument as a blow against the much more affluent group of society that they associate with serious music. Sadly, musicians seldom inhabit the world of the rich, but that is the association they make. If it was, as is claimed, run over by a vehicle, this is deliberate.

Owner gambled and now whines to the presss, but as facts come out, the negligence was on the part of the owner. Checking luggage, poorly packed luggage, through connecting flights is never guaranteed. Signing a waiver shows the owner is clueless.

Here is nobody to talk about real Viol or tuned Cello.

It is not a traditional genuine Viol but a cello converted to a Viol style.

It has S hole style and Cello shoulder.

It is not a Viol.

Alitalia is a horrible horrible company to fly with but plz tell me who in their right mind sends a precious or even priceless cargo by a flight company.. use specialized delivery services offered by DHL or other private specialists in fragile delivery. .. sorry to say u get what u paid for . ?

I love the extent to which ITA embraces its Italian roots with its inflight product, and particularly with its meal service. On this nearly nine hour flight, a massive dinner was served after takeoff.

They truly seemed to enjoy their jobs, and they actually understood service flow in premium cabins which was so refreshing, after recent flights on Gulf Air and Bamboo Airways). They completed that entire meal service within two hours of takeoff, always kept glasses topped up, proactively replaced cutlery, and cleared plates as they were finished.

If I had to summ up Italy in one phrase it'd be " Nothing works". That being said, I wouldn't find it charming when the stewardess tells me "Maybe, I hope". Especially when I'm paying thousands of dollars for one flight.

I flew this product a month ago and the food was very good but it was ironic with your comment about the hard product, as the seat was extremely hard and especially on bed mode it wasnt very comfortable. Allied to the fact that there was no bedding or topper

Just back from miami with Ita a350 business.Seat was very comfortable,service and hostess were great,food was terrible,never eat so bad in my life,as italian i feeled ashame they couldnt even make a simple tomatoes pasta or orecchiette with broccoli,i had orecchiette and ended up eating only bread and fruit,food is much better on trenitalia

Just a sidebar that walnuts generally pair well with wine and with sweet wine, especially Madeira, they are a match made in heaven (so, yes, you have at least one reader who's said "this would go really well with walnuts")

It's an inappropriate remark to make, but I'll make it anyway. The exact same comment made by a (likely) attractive, (almost certainly) well dressed FA, and said with a (most assuredly) charming Italian accent (whether male, female or other), will be much better received than if it were delivered by a US flight attendant.

Having flown on the ITA A350 and the A330 long haul in business class, I agree with you that the 350 product is top notch, from a comfort, catering, and service perspective. Yes, it's all a bit bland but it is quite good overall. The A330's all feature the legacy Alitalia product, which was pretty good a few years ago, but quite dated now.

Unfortunately, ITA's future isn't likely to be anything but bleak. It is essentially Alitalia, but slimmed down by 55%. The route structure and the hub structure don't really work. The future of ITA is likely to be a ward of Lufthansa.

Interesting, the 2 hr package does not have data caps. Big plus in my opinion (I hate having to remember to disable auto-updates for everything).

Also, wondering what kind of streaming you get at "up to" 500 kbps?

Thanks for that review! Commuting to Europe regularly and sticking to SkyTeam when possible, I struggled to find a long haul review of ITA so this is super helpful and looking forward to the detailed report!

I'm so glad to hear this. Despite the bad rep, all my past flights in Alitalia business class was nothing short of a beautiful experience, with a primi (pasta) and secondi (main course), aperitivo, espresso.

ITA offers a connection from Rome (with many flights between MXP and FCO), and AA flies to MXP from JFK (I believe daily), and has many connections onto JFK-MIA. With AA's widebody shortage right now, I doubt it will come back this coming summer. Maybe next summer, along with AA's year round flights from MIA to CDG. Currently, AA only flies from MIA to LHR, MAD, and BCN in Europe (and CDG in the winter).

ITA doesn't have to many airplanes right now, so they likely want to start off with their most profitable routes, and keep the existing market share that Alitalia had. I think it will be a couple years before MIA-MXP is a possibility.
