We’re currently at the Venice Marco Polo airport, awaiting our outbound flight to Tampa. We should be boarding in about 60 minutes. Disembarkation was very smooth this morning. We took a taxi to the airport, which was both cheap (45 euro vs. HAL’s $79 per person charge) and easy (we went from our cabin on the ship to the airport check-in desk in about 20 minutes).
This will be a full flight with fellow HAL cruisers. I have no expectation of an upgrade out of here today, as the plane appears to be packed. No matter — I’m always very happy to just get an OpUp on one segment (which we’ve been lucky with the past few years).
Ciao for now!
P.S. Here’s a photo of the Alitalia lounge…
