Starting from October 31, Alitalia upgrading aircraft on Rome-Tehran to Airbus A330 with 262 seats!
At the moment an Airbus A320 is operating daily on the route to the Iran capital (AZ757).
On board you will be welcomed by our Italian hospitality whichever class of service you choose for your trip: Business Class or Economy Class.
In Business Class you will find luxurious Poltrona Frau leather seats that become fully-flat beds, a massage option and direct aisle access from every seat; a distinctive Italian cuisine that has won Global Traveler’s “Best airline cuisine” award for 6 consecutive years and wines that have been selected in cooperation with the Italian Sommelier Foundation.
In Economy Class you will be able to enjoy Italian touches as part of the meal and drink selection, and in the wide choice of inflight entertainment.
And then, Alitalia will find out it may no longer fly to the US because of the Trump sanctions. Most airlines are axing their flights to Iran for that reason.
Lufthansa is also flying to Tehran with a Boeing 747!
