I flew ITA Airways’s glorious new A321neo aircraft from London to Rome. This new aircraft has a fabulous 1-1 configuration reverse herringbone business class, as well as a premium economy (review to come!) and economy seats. What did I think? Well, watch to find out!

"Pasta for example is so easy to serve on board" yeah but it's always disgusting and mushy, the less pasta in the air the better. I've had delicious steak in First Class on certain airlines but pasta is something nobody has been able to get right for some reason.
Just not worth that price for a 2 hour flight! For the same money you could take a Ryanair flight and stay at a really good hotel and go to a proper Italian restaurant in Rome and get much better food than you got on the plane. Even on a long haul flight the money you pay for a Business Class seat compared to what you could spend your money on at arrival has to be questioned.
I agree on lounges. They're supposed to be a quiet haven away from the hustle and bustle of the terminal.
I flew ITA on my last business trip, even though it was on rebadged old Alitalia aircraft the service, food, and crew were outstanding. Much better than Alitalia was in the early 2000s when I lived in Naples.
Great flight. For a short hop, it's amazing seat. But sadly the meal/dinner isn't.
Heh, that's a lot of bread 😊
Um.. I goggled that luggage…$2049.99 CDN… Nope. That's a trip..
Paul how do you think this compares to jetblue mint
Paul: A drink, "not seen on any other airline."
Me: "Irn-Bru? … Oh, yeah, lemoncello makes sense."
Absolutely phenomenal- a joy to watch and listen to.
Folded quicker than a bad calzone….. 🤣
Superb video, Thank you Paul!
Happy New Year! Fly and stay healthy! Cheers
Please go coach.
Alitalia's food was always atrocious. My parents were born in Italy and we'd fly from the US to Italy every couple of years to see relatives. We did business class twice, maybe…didn't make a difference. The worst food I've had on an airline by far.
Travel resolutions? Yes, see more of Australia 🇦🇺 my home country.
I believe these airliners were supposed to cover medium haul only, but following the recent issues in Israel and some diplomatic hurdles in opening nigerian routes, they were moved to cover london and Cairo against all odds and differently from plans
Using T4 next month so checked on my Dragon Pass to see which lounge I might use. The Blush lounge indicates that it doesn't open until 11.30 a.m.?? Any one know if this is the case, it might also be the reason why Paul's first choice was so rammed.
The only issue with a321 medium/long haul flights is the lack of bathrooms, they should add an extra bathroom to the front
If I was served that tray of food on a 2 hour flight, I'd be delighted. It looked good.
I think I'm good with my ol' reliable 8 yr old $25 cloth hand bag. $1500 seems a bit much for a suitcase. (I've taken that bag on 10 cruises, amtrak, over 100 flights as a carryon and checked. It has yet to fail me
Food is Food Quality Foid is Better
Nice Italian style. Classy airline.
I Love The Livery,WOW What A Cabin For A Airlines In Europe.Great Video
Wow for a review of ITA there is a lot of talk about ELAL
Great video!
I had their business class food BRU->FCO about six months ago, and it was the most atrocious excuse for pasta I've ever been served. They desperately need to improve their food service, it was almost inedible.
CONJOB 19
That tiramisu looks bready.
Bravo Paul !!!! I flew Ital air last June from London city to Milan on German Airways then on ital air from Milan to Calabria and Calabria to Roma
Paul ElAl us not a dry airline Their booze is kosher but they are not dry
Also El Al has financial problems
ITA’s seat layout in business looks like Jet Blue’s
You bashed the food but what do u expect when they are paying for brand new aircraft ?
Right behind business class was the Premium economy or an upgraded economy?
The best narrow body aircraft in Europe
When did El Al become a dry airline ?
