An Airbus A was used for the flight to Rome with three rows assigned to business class. We were only two passengers in front of the curtain, a middle-aged man seated in 01D and me in 02D. With a rather spacious cabin to ourselves we both later moved to other seats. He took a window seat on the opposite side of the aisle and I moved to the window seat 02F.
Overall the cabin gave a good first impression with the seats in dark blue and with design details and the headrests in yellow. There is also a wooden wall between the galley and the first row with the signature Alitalia logo. No newspapers or magazines were offered before departure and there was no pre-departure drink. In fact the purser did not take much notice of us sitting in business class. Boarding was completed well ahead of our scheduled departure time at The initial climb provided a terrific view of Bavaria and later of the Alps.
There were three rows of business class with blocked middle seats, which meant a configuration and 12 seats in total. This is very much standard configuration for intra-European flights.
There were also cocktail tables placed above the middle seats, to give more storage space and space for drinks. It took a long time before the inflight service started but about ten minutes into the flight a wonderful smell of fresh pasta entered the business class cabin. It was a really terrific smell and it certainly made me rather hungry. Also it made me forget the less than perfect start of my business class experience as I was eagerly anticipating a tasty lunch.
Eventually, after more minutes, the curtain to the galley opened and the lunch was served by the purser. The lunch consisted of a very tasty ravioli pasta, a bowl with salad and a bread roll with butter. For dessert there was a tasty chocolate mousse cake and also a small chocolate praline.
Overall the presentation was rather elegant. I asked for a glass of white wine to drink, which was served from a large bottle. But more surprisingly the white wine was actually properly chilled, the temperature of the wine was perfect, which is certainly not always the case on many airlines, especially on shorthaul flights. The meal tray was removed and I asked for a cup of coffee and a refill of the white wine. I also took the opportunity to give my complements about the white wine and the purser seemed to appreciate my comment.
In fact she seemed delighted and came back with the bottle to show it to me at the seat and also told me it was from Umbria, the same region she came from herself. From that moment the service level and the level of attention changed completely and the purser went from being rather stiff and uninterested during the boarding process to proactively offering me more refills, with a large smile.
I was even offered a refill after the seatbelt sign had been switched on. Sometimes a nice comment and some interest in the inflight service and the onboard product can help a lot. The purser was in charge of the service in business class and except for her role as purser onboard, i. As mentioned the first 30 minutes onboard left a lot to be desired. A pre-departure drink would have been nice, or at least a post-departure drink while waiting for the lunch to be served, which took some time.
Even with only two passengers in business class the purser did not come to greet us or welcome us onboard and there was no offer of anything really. But the service got much better later during the flight. There are shopping malls with international clothing and footwear brands.
