Thanks to our readers who had spoiler us about the work in progress. in recent weeks now comes confirmation from the national airline as well. The spaces are the same as those occupied by the old Alitalia house. As on other occasions of "recycled" waiting rooms from the old company, the name "Casa Bellini" also remains.
All new instead was the interior since the lounge had been completely demolished.
Access rules are the same as in other lounges: you enter with a business ticket or with premium or higher status in the Volare loyalty program. Unknown the access rules for those with status with other Skyteam carriers, as is the case with ITA's other lounges
