im so happy , im a male from LOS ANGELES i will be in rome on nov 28 2008 im doing the italian espresso tour,i was told by my travel agent that ALITALIA has a new non stop flight from LA to ROME i love it,. im the type of person that i rather be on the plance for 12 hrs non stop that just making multiple stops here and there.. im so happy i dont have to fly from LAX to JFK and from JFK to ROME. now i can just flight directly(it will be a 12 hr non stop flight). so if anyone is comming from LA u should take this flight. it leaves at 3pm lax time and u arrive the following day at 12 pm perfect time to check in at your hotel and have lunch in ROME. on the way back i leave at 9am and i arrive the same day in to LAX AT 1:OOPM perfect that to reast.
