ITA Airways Trip Report flying from Los Angeles to Rome-Fiumicino onboard one of the ITA Airways Airbus A350 on a beautiful spring day. An extremely comfortable flight from Los Angeles to Rome onboard the ITA Airways A350. The flight was around 75% full but still, we were lucky enough to get the 3 seats in the row for us! So we basically had a little bed during the flight while flying in economy class. After a very nice planespotting session at Los Angeles airport, we boarded the ITA A350 that would take us to Rome-Fiumicino. We took off, not on time but ahead of the schedule, towards the Pacific Ocean. We made a more than 180° turn over it and started our route to Rome. We flew over Los Angeles, the San Bernardino Mountains, the Mojave Desert, Las Vegas, and the Grand Canyon park. We then continued during the Sunset all the way towards Canada. During the night, while flying between Canada and Greenland we even were able to see the Borealis! The polar lights were just out there! Beautiful! I went then back to bed until the Sunrise. This was over the Atlantic, with a full silence in the cabin. What a moment! :) We then flew over Ireland and the UK, before entering Europe mainland. The views of Paris were just perfect, clearly seeing the Arc of Triomphe and the Eiffel Tower. From there we flew in an almost direct course to Rome across the Alps. The views of Geneva and all the Alps until reaching Turin were really stunning! We landed in Rome well ahead of the schedule. The onboard service was quite ok. The dinner served just after takeoff, was pretty good. Everything was tasty and the beef was particularly good. The breakfast however... on a 12-hour flight you expect a second warm meal... it was something warm, but was just a piece of cake with a pack of cookies... Although it was clearly below expectation, it was compensated by a very good flavor. Although ITA Airways may not be the best on anything, I liked everything about them: from the beautiful livery to the Italian ambient onboard, going through the tasty catering, or the classic and fresh cabin. It's 100% sure that I will repeat with ITA Airways. Now it's your turn! Have you ever flown with ITA Airways? Maybe with old Alitalia? Which route? How was the experience?
