As a travel agent for over 34 years watching an airline cease operations is never easy. We grow fond of them ( some not ) and think of them as an old friend. Watching something or someone in our industry fail is gut wrenching. I love this industry and hate when I see another portion of it change.

Farewell Alitalia .....arrivederci .....Good Luck to all the employees that move on ...

ITA will be taking over routes and operations ....but to me it will always be Alitalia.

TIPS from a Travel Agent

This came up in a post from another group. There are a list of countries that require a 6 month and more expiration date in your passport for entry. What does that mean ? It means that if your passport expires within 6 months of the time you wish to enter a country, they can deny boarding at the point of departure.

Remember to always check the expiration date of your passport when booking your trip and now a days allow 10 -14 weeks for processing time.
Also, always know that just because you pay for expedition of the passport processing, doesnt guarantee the expedition of the processing .

Let a travel agent help you .....
