9.6
Pros: Flight was smooth, I told the Captain that. Staff was helpful. They attended our needs, like that they served us food twice and snacks and drinks. Liked that they had blankets & pillow for us. The 12 hour flight was great and did not seem like it was 12 hrs. I will definitely fight this airline again
Cons: Staff at airport (Rome-FCO) was not too friendly but this had nothing to do w/ the flight. Flight was awesome. I would just recommend having a few more move selections but overall, I give this particular flight, from Millan to San Francisco an A+! ONE NOTE: Check in your luggage online OR else they will charge you double at Airport.

Cons: Air Italy charges to choose your seat assignment ahead of time, which is disappointing. I luckily for an aisle seat, but the seats are very cramped. Typical of these flights, but still. You can't use your tray table if the person in front leans the chair back.

Pros: The seats are not comfortable. the crew was fine.
Cons: Other then putting in more leg room, to make it more comfortable, everything else was pretty standard.

Pros: Very narrow seat, leg room limited however passengers still can recline their seats. So if your front passenger recline their seats, basically you got locked into your seat and hard to get in and out.

2.5hrs delay due to technical problem, connection flight did not wait
Pros: The food was good for airplane food. They had a menu and choice between chicken, mashed potatoes, carrots or pasta with mushrooms and cheese together with a warm bread and delicious chocolate mousse for dessert. Breakfast was either scrambled eggs or pancakes.
Cons: Flight delayed 2.5 hrs due to electrical problem on the Air Italy A330. Missed connection flight in MXP to NAP. Even though there was a Rome flight leaving at the same time that waited, ours to NAP did not wait. Rsukts: 6 hes additional time at mxp airport

Pros: Very friendly and professional crew. Punctual flight. Easy online check in.
Cons: Long boarding. The seat recliner reclines too far so there is very little space for the passenger behind. So the seat space was excruciatingly small. I ordered a vegan meal online 3 days before my flight (as they suggested) but I never received the confirmation and the correct meas was not provided. The movie choices were limited and outdated.

Pros: I liked the direct flight from Los Angles to Milan. Convenient not to have a layover. Staff was courteous. Planes are clean. Fair price reasonable if you only have carryon.
Cons: Airline website not user friendly. After having paid for seats in advance still was not able to get boarding pass online. Also had a bicycle to check in. Was not able to pay for it in advance. Had to pay extra at the airport with hassle of having to go back and forth ticket counters .

Overview of Air Italy
Based in Milan, Air Italy operates a number of domestic flights across Italy as well as internationally. Flights reach as far as North America and Africa, with a centralized focus on Southern Europe. Commencing scheduled flights in 2018, the airline developed quickly to begin offering transatlantic routes. It also runs a second hub in Olbia, which is a focus city and attracts a large number of vacation travelers throughout the year.
A mix of both Boeing and Airbus aircraft are used by Air Italy, with a preference for medium range jets, such as the Boeing 737 and Airbus A330. Business Class is offered on some of the more modern models in the fleet, with Italian designer slippers and pajamas provided. Another feature of the Business section is personalized hospitality, with flight attendants greeting customers by name. Business passengers also receive 60MB of complimentary Wi-Fi data.
Previously known as Meridiana, it is a subsidiary of the AQA Holding group and is partly owned by the global giant Qatar Airways. The airlines work closely together to share route connections and facilities. Codeshare agreements are also in place with British Airways, S7 Airlines, Bulgaria Air and Air Moldova. Prorate agreements are maintained with carriers such as Alaska Airlines and Aegean Airlines to ensure smooth passenger transport.
The aircraft and branding of the carrier feature maroon and light green colors, which are similar to that of Qatar Airways. The stylized "Y" of the Air Italy logo is emblazoned on the tail of the planes and resembles a flying bird.
