Thoughts on Alitalia Business class 2022 To Rome from Boston?

Probably not in business class. They are more generous.

Considering they ceased to operate in 2021, I doubt they care what your bag weighs.

PS Having a duplicate post only makes for a mess

Sorry- just worried.

The easiest, lowest-risk choice is to comply with any published restrictions.

I'd be less worried about the bag and more worried about planning to fly with an airline that went bankrupt and ceased to exist last year.

When it really was still Alitalia, in Economy class yes indeed they weighed my bag. Yes it was over and i had to check it. That taught me a valuable lesson in that I will always meet size and weight restrictions for every leg and will have things organized in my bag in case it has to be gate checked. Then I’m not in a flap at the last minute trying to dig out charger cords, etc.

I'm guessing your are flying ITA Airways, the airline that emerged from Alitalia's bankruptcy and subsequent ceasing of operations. From what I've read, ITA is not exactly customer-centric. Having said that, airlines generally do not harass their business class customers. While I have not flown ITA, I've never had anything weighed when traveling business class including on "partner airlines." For example, I flew business class on Air Baltic from Riga to Amsterdam on a Delta/KLM itinerary. The gate agent was weighing/measuring every bag of fliers entering the queue for coach. The business class folks walked right on the plane without having anything checked. The safest strategy, of course, is to meet the airline's requirements, but it's hard for me to imagine that any airline -- including ITA -- would harass its best customers.

Hasn’t Alitalia gone bankrupt more than once?

it's a national airline so it can never really die, it's like a phoenix. politics, unions and all that.

Hasn’t Alitalia gone bankrupt more than once?

Yes. But it ceased operations only once.
