- Thank you for joining us on this different trip report.
I made my way to New York to fly one last time on the Alitalia flagship B777-200ER service from New York JFK to Rome.
I’m starting with the FCO-ZRH sector as I do not have much footage from the B777 flight: I was busy talking with the crew and other passengers. Take off and landing also were at night.
It was the last flight for most of the crew, thus an emotional rollercoaster. Join along!
Today we are showcasing you the following flight:
From: New York JFK, United States
To: Zürich Airport, Switzerland
Via: Rome Leonardo Da Vinci Fiumicino Airport, Italy
Airline: Alitalia
Flight Number: AZ609 & AZ572
Aircraft Type: Boeing B777-200ER & Airbus A319-100
Registration: EI-DBL & EI-IMG

Very sad for Alitalia. Wish the employees a good luck!!! Very emotional!! I just can’t imagine working for an airline for so many years and it goes under!
Buonasera tutti. Io sempre viaggiato con la vostra compagnia. Era anni ottanta... E mi sono sempre trovata molto bene. E sarà sempre una compagnia di bandiera ottima. Grazie
They should all have gotten a standing ovation from the passengers.
They did!
Excellent coverage.
The end of this video is super emotional. You made an amazing memory for this crew of their last flight. Thank you for all your effort. I am a big fan.
Am just sad their last flight is under these circumstances. It would have been nicer in the companies hey day.
Thanks for watching!
Thankyou for your nice tribute... my mum started her carrer with Alitalia in '88 and has worked for them as a flight attendant since then... many memories warm her heart and mine as a consequence... she had her first flight on the 747 from Rome to NY so it quite nice ending with a NY FCO... My passion for flying started thanks to her and to Alitalia and her colleagues that made each one of my flights as memorable as possible... bye flying family
What a nice story, thank you for sharing.
She must have lived Alitalia’s best days. Until when did she fly in Alitalia? I had an ex Alitalia B747 captain seated next to me and spend hours talking with him and listening to all the stories of the good days..
Regards to both of you, and keep enjoying your passion. The most beautiful hobby in the world ❤️
@@TheLayoverAviation Ciao! Sorry for the late reply! She has flown for Alitalia till the end and she got aboard Ita Airways and still continues flying! Unfortunately a big chuck of her friends don't fly anymore (the older ones primarily because they chose not to continue with Ita since they where already close to retirement, while some younger ones are still waiting the call to join the company). Still, what really breaks my heart is the end of that era, that of Alitalia. A magnificent story with many passionate crews that really just wanted to do their job, welcome passengers and enjoy their time together. Fortunately some of this is still possible in Ita, but times have changed and my mom won't last really longer in Ita since working hours have become more and more demanding... and, you know, working too much in the air can have effects on your health! But still, that's the best job in the world and she still loves it afterall! Cheers
Good job and thanks for great info
Thanks like always Gunvald!
Excellent work as always! Better than any other trip report channel I can think of :)
Thank you so much Benji! It motivates to become even better. Cheers!
I have to admit that i am now addicted to your flight reports....excellent, detailed and very enjoyable....please keep posting and keep it up......hope to catch up soon in Dubai
Thank you very much Rani! Very happy you enjoy, that’s why I do this 😁.
New video just came out! Have nice one!
Farewell Alitalia! It's such an emotional flight.
It was indeed! I still haven’t tried ITA, I should..
Super informative captions! Subbed
Thanks for the sub, see you around!
Awesome
Sono una donna di origini Colombia con padre italiano. Grazie
Best Airways ITA🇮🇹 Excellent service 👍
It's sad to see Alitalia go, wish the staff at Alitalia all the best in their future endeavours.
Really wished that you had filmed more on the B777 flight but all in all, thanks for capturing the moment on your last flight on Alitalia for us to see :)
I also wish them the very best. It’s a life long dedicated to the industry, so it must break ones heart.
I believe almost all crew was +28 years senior in the company, so imagine..
Thanks for visiting!
Nice video
Lot of respect, because this airline is gone and it brings a lot of great moment when I watch this video. You are monumental..
Hey again Russel!
It’s sad to see what used to be such a great airline down to it’s knees at this level. The iconic livery will surely be missed from the skies!
Thanks for watching!
@@TheLayoverAviation AH come on. You should come over and you can see that you are better than me.
Merci pour cette tres belle video 📹 So sad for Alitalia. I flew so many times with them and the service was incredible 😍
C’est mon plaisir Marc!
A very sad ending for them. I hope it’s one of the last legacies that will leave us.
The service, specially in the Magnifica Class, was amazing.
Condor on business class also gives slippers. I was very surprised to get them.
So sorry 😢 I used to fly frequently with Alitalia to Rome, Malta, Naples and a lot more ✈️❤️
Thank you for this video 😢💓👍
Well I broke out in tears upon hearing the senior cabin crew member make the final announcement. So sad, and I never flew with them. Really exceptional video and I subscribed to your channel. Happy travels.
Hello Tina, thanks for visiting.
It was a very sad moment to watch there as it was just a tear fest. Aviation is a lifestyle so I can’t even imagine what it would feel like to lose it.
Thank you for subscribing and I’ll make sure to keep posting more special flights!
Hello Tina,
Yes I agree with you
By the way where are you from?

You are most welcome my Dear, i like UNITED STATE
Now i known what you did you cast your beautiful n amazing spell over me..Totally love your tripreports
This is such an old one! And I was heartbroken not to get a window seat on the B777, but well..
Me now being sad at your brokenheart do hope you had a nice drink n great loving care .Love your mind
Hi Layover when heartbroken this is my song for you i believe my mind is more powerful than n aircraft n spacecraft.Do take a sec to listen Yes I am totally crashing into you beautiful mind.This is me enjoying my beautiful momentd. Offial song by Lighthouse Make me over. Yup you are always around
This is an excellent video, I am impressed with your respect for Alitalia! I have EI-DBL B- 777-200ER on 1/200 scale from Inflight 200, and not for sale! I am a new subscriber, thank-you, I enjoyed this!
Thanks for watching Nigel!
I have respect for all airlines, they all have something that makes them special. And I specially loved seeing Alitalia planes around Europe, many loud MD-80’s.
Keep the model plane safe and away from kids! (I learned my lesson..)
All the best!
Very nice video. May I suggest you leave the descriptive subtitle a little longer in the screen?, since they are rather detailed and most can’t read quick enough having to pause the video often to read the whole subtitle. Thank you.
Hey Mike, will try to work on that.
Thanks for watching!
Your trip detail is so detailed and since you know so much, you should have taken to be a pilot as a profession. But nevertheless I enjoy it thoroughly. So Happy Flying ……
They even operated the B777-300ER before
They did indeed, just a single unit I believe..
Another way of wasting money.
Thank you very mucb for sharing this! I subscribed to your channel.
We will miss Alitalia for sure, once it was an airline that was leading the flight travelling! Let's hope that ITA will make the best of its error and succeed with their operations. Italy and the world need an airline with the real italian style.
I hope they’ll be like the old AZ and better.. I have enjoyed it a lot in the past.
Thanks for joining us!
I flew them but had a really bad experience:( , but anyway good tripreport!
Hey Joel,
Yes, they were not very popular out there. I also had some curious experiences, but even so I’ll miss them in the skies!
Thanks for watchint!
Thank you for this memorable and emotional video. I had never flown on Alitalia, but your video is a great tribute to them. The ending is indeed touching. You made me laugh when you said '...I heard no Italians complaining...'
Thank you Sami!
I was surrounded by Italians and was really observing their reactions, as it’s clearly not home made cooking.. Seemed all good..!
Thanks for watching!
Before Continental went out of business, I flew a flight code shared with Alitalia in BusinessFirst. Unfortunately I lost the inflight menu from the now two defunct carriers.
The dinner looked delicioso!
Looked pretty sad actually for a business class meal.
Everyone may be full of tears and sadness. I can recall Alitalia of 40 years ago and can join in the sadness. But, being more practical, I was on Alitalia, JFK to FCO and back to JFK in August of this year - travelling on Premium Economy. The cabin crew were miserable to the point of being surly (I even asked them if someone had just died). The food was disgraceful and the ONLY liquid offered to us was water. No wine, no drinks, no cola, no coffee etc. I understand from a fellow passenger that it was much the same in Business Class.
Sadly the feeling we were left with was, "Good Riddance".
The experience has been pretty much the same for everyone during this past summer, a lot of cuts. In August it was already official that the airline was closing down, so what’s sad is that the way the company went down; with quite low service standards. They deserved better, in my opinion.
It felt like the company could not even try anymore. It must have been extremely hard for the employees.
Thanks for watching
5:10 note the first A320 is already registered in Ireland
just noticed the plane you flew is also EI registered 9:14
Most of the planes in Italy are registered in Ireland, less taxes!
Just like most yachts being registered in some Caribbean Island.
Fun fact: there are more private jets registered in Aruba than people living there? Even the rich avoid paying for registration in their countries..
do they lost your baggage because I heard that they always lose your baggage when you have connection is it true can you answer?
I’ve so far never lost any baggage, and I travel an awefully lot. Just once or twice my luggage didnt make it’s connection, but it was send to my hotel/home.
@@TheLayoverAviation so Alitalia didnt loose it
Nice feet MaamSir! 😀
You know that someone actually called me “camera shy”?!
Sorry for Plane Alitalia 75 year old yes Air Alitalia Rome to Venice my Family. Qantas Melbourne to Rome Back Home to Australia Long Time Ago
Ciao Angela, those must have been beautiful memories! 🙂
The same will might happen soon with the Indonesian National Carrier, Garuda Indonesia. 72 years of service.. Very Sad.
Hey Mr. K, I really hope not. I love Garuda. One of the most stylish and overseen Asian carriers out there.
I wish they manage to recover after the current downsizing as I look forward flying with them many more times.
I really can't understand why Alitalia is stopping that service. Is there a more profitable route than this one ?
There are so many Italians living in NY and they are mostly patriots so they choose Alitalia.
Alitalia went bust!
The successor, ITA, took over the route.
And other US carriers continue to serve this route too.
Thanks for watching Nikolaus!
Viva Alitalia, goodbye.
It must be hard for the Alitalia crew to know their airline will be grounded.
It was visibly very hard for them since boarding. Specially at the end of the flight when the purser made that PA..
Many fear they will never work in aviation again as they are +50. I wish them the best..
@@TheLayoverAviation yes, me too. It’s sad, it reminds me of when my country’s airline, Swissair, was grounded too, sad memories.
I remember that day very well.
I just recently watched a documentary about it, I believe the name is “Grounding”
Can i buy 1aircraft?
which one would you like?
I love your video's but one thing the text underneath the videos's goes to fast. I'm trying to watch the video but I also wan't to read your text, and that's rather difficult. Maybe taking it a bit slower on the text so I can enjoy your filming. Just a postive point of criticism, luv your video's. Cheers m8
Hey Pat, thanks a lot for watching and for the feedback. I know that in the older video’s it goes quit fast and tried to fix it in this video. Is it still too fast?
The thing is that I want to share as much info as possible without making the videos too long. I have yet to find the perfect balance, but I trust it will improve over time.
Thanks again, and a new video coming soon!
😳 the meal on the JFK leg is atrocious for business class 😟
Many airlines made quite some cuts during Covid. Some are returning to regular catering offering but I guess that as Alitalia was nearing the end it just remained like that.
It tasted good though!
