We have flown first class before, but nothing like the Magnifica class on alitalia. It seemed from the moment we arrived at the airport till we picked up our baggage, (and our bags really were the first off), the service was great. The biggest plus was the comfort of the seats. It was so nice to lay flat and relax. How great to live in Tuscany for six months a year. Good luck to you. Anon Ellie
