Being in X-mas Hollidays since Friday December 20th and needing to go to Cannes on Wednesday December 25th and wishing to go in Israel during this period, I created an alarm on Kayak 3 weeks before. I found nothing interesting before Wednesday December 18th where Kayak made me an offer with Alitalia at 500€ on Expedia, with an extra 50€ offered by Expedia once on their website.
I arrived in TLV from Tel-Aviv in 20min. I will pass the safety chechks in less than 20 min too (probably thanks to the matinal departure and the day of the flight). Tha ground staff was very kind, as a manager who would make me us the business line for the safety check as nobody was using it.
The FIDS of TLV :
I rarely left TLV as that time. So, I spot some of the airlines I almost never met at TLV before.
A350 Cathay Pacific :
A321 Royal Jordanian :
Then, the newest aircraft in El Al fleet B787-8 (in the fleet for less than one month at the time)
The traval docs with a real boarding-pass
Our airplane is parked far away. The boarding via pax-bus is launched with a delay of 20min.
We arrive next to the only airplane which is not in contact. A320 AZ "Francesco Petrarca"
Fuselage Shot
The doar time.
Mon seat,the 4A :
The pitch is quite amazing for economy class :
No evidence of a former IFE this time :
The PSU seems to indicate that the plane is not that old :
I would have no neighbour for that flight.
We pushed back on time We met an A321N Arkia
last seen on TLV
We passed quickly over the clouds
Than, a small alert in the cockpit. The captain wil ask the crew to check each phone of the passengers are well on flight mode or turned off and announce a technical issue due to device(s) not in flight mode.
After 1h of flight, the breakfast is served.
Once again everything is very tasty. BRAVO ALITALIA
But, once again, the meal isn't kosher. What a pity when we see how many people wanted to order a kosher meal.
Being still hungry at the end of the service, I would ask for a second meal that would be given to me very quickly by a very nice member of the crew. The crew was very kind. I will sleep until we started our approach to Roma.
Just over the italian coast.
On the floor, it is beautiful.
Welcome at FCO.
Lots of different airplanes and airlines at FCO. A350 Cathay Pacific A330 Alitalia A320 Pegasus B737-800 Ukraine Internationnal (RIP PS 752)
B737 Royal Air Maroc (with the new livery)
B737-800 Ryanair
We parked nex to this wonderful A350 ThaÏ
The deboarding would be done very quickly. A last word for our wonderful crew. Congratulations to them.
A last picture of Thai A350.
I hurry up to catch my connection. The FIDS of FCO :
A small journey with the automatic train of FCO which has only two stops.
Alone in the wagon
B737-800 Royal Air Maroc
A330 Alitalia A320 Brussels Airlines
B777 Alitalia
A320 Kuwait

An extraordinary flight with Alitalia. A very tasty breakfast with a wonderful crew. I really hope AZ will continue flying. TLV is very clean and useful. The checks were passed very fast this time. FCO is practical and useful
2 LIKESLIKE TO THANK THE AUTHORTHANKS ! FLIGHT-REPORT LIKED
Nice that you were able to get a seat in row 4 since the seats closer to the front have more legroom since they can be converted to Business class. And with an empty seat next to you, you basically have a European Business class experience haha. Crazy to think that just a few weeks ago an empty seat next to you was such a rare luxury! Now all planes are empty...the ones still flying anyway.
