It’s been a busy week for Alitalia, and once the dust settles, we might finally have a solution regarding who is going to take a stab at fixing this sorry excuse for an airline. As promised, Intesa Sanpaolo has cobbled together a rescue plan. While this one seems more … Read the post
Category: Worst Airline Ever
Oh Alitalia, why can’t you have any really exciting news? Instead, we just get to watch Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi 
try to pull his foot out of his mouth and find a way to do exactly what he said he wouldn’t; get an foreign carrier to fix Alitalia. Good luck … Read the post
Have you seen what’s been going on with Aerolineas Argentinas lately? I hadn’t, actually, until a reader brought it to my attention. 
Though Alitalia is still the worst airline ever, it appears that Aerolineas Argentinas is jockeying to be next in line.
Let’s start with a brief timeline.
2001: Aerolineas … Read the post
Once again, it has been way too long since I checked in on Alitalia. I mean, there’s been plenty of action for my favorite airline to hate, but of course, nothing has actually happened. It’s all more of the same.
What prompted me to write this time? It’s Alitalia’s annual … Read the post
I know you guys have been champing at the bit, waiting for an update on the latest with Alitalia. 
I’ve actually been wanting to write about this for a little while, but I figured I’d wait until I went to last night’s launch party at LAX for the new LAX-Rome … Read the post
You might think that I’d be sad to see Alitalia accept the Air France/KLM takeover bid but you couldn’t be more wrong. The fun is really just beginning.

It’s been a month and a half since we last checked in on Alitalia, and I feel bad. I try not to neglect my favorite airline to hate, but it looks like that’s been the case. So what’s new? Nothing.
Ok, so a lot is new, but the theme is … Read the post
I’m not sure why, but I’ve had a lot of trouble coming up with post topics this week. Maybe it’s a slow week, or maybe work has just been too busy. Either way, today I’m just going to fall back on my old standby . . . Alitalia.
Today, Alitalia … Read the post
No.
Sorry, I just couldn’t resist. It’s once again been a little while since we checked in with our favorite incompetent airline, Alitalia. I hadn’t planned on doing a post on Alitalia today, but I was reading a post in Leif Pettersen’s excellent travel blog Killing Batteries that started out … Read the post
Woohoo! It’s time for an Alitalia update. You know how much I love these guys for their incredible ability to do just about everything wrong, and of course, nothing has changed.
The latest news is about their “survival/transition” plan according to ATW Daily News. I was really hoping that … Read the post
Alitalia just loves being in the news, but not in a good way. I just don’t get it. Someone please put this old dog out of its misery.
You may remember that Aeroflot and TPG both pulled out of the running to buy the airline, but TPG’s former partner, MatlinPatterson, … Read the post
Oh yes, it’s that time once again. Let’s check in on our good friends at Alitalia and see how messed up things are. Man, these guys are fun to pick on.
