Sam Chui·December 14, 2018

This is a picture trip report of my recent Alitalia flight from Tokyo to Rome in their Business Class "Magnifica" on B777-200/ER.

I also made a comprehensive video report on-board Alitalia

Class Magnifica (Business Class)

1-2-1 seating with direct aisle access. It is the same seat as Etihad business class but Alitalia have a distinct color and use Poltrona Frau leather. The business class is separated into 2 cabin, one in forward and one just behind door 2. I recommend window seat as it has more privacy for single traveler.

Food and Beverage

Dining is a highlight on-board Alitalia especially if you love Italian food. I started with a glass of Aperol and nibbles. The starter was prosciutto di parma, followed by second course rice timbale or pasta pomodoro.

The main course I have a choice between chicken supreme or fish which i chose the latter. This is followed by cheese plate and desserts.

Alitalia adopted anytime dining on demand policy so you will never missed out the food! a plate of food on a table a plate of cheese and crackers a plate of desserts on a table

New Uniform

Alitalia have changed to a new uniform since mid November and I have the chance to try on (one flight attendant kindly let me try out his jacket and using his tie)

What do you think of the new uniform?

Conclusion

My Alitalia flight from Tokyo was a total pleasure with amazing Italian cuisine and beverage. The flight and service resemble strong Italian culture. It is good to see Alitalia offer such a solid product. The next surprise is the brand new Casa Alitalia (Lounge) in Rome! Check out the lounge here.
