Hi Evileyes,
Thanks. I bought my tickets directly from Alitalia & the few times I've called them recently they tell me everything is fine. I guess I'll just have to wait & see what happens. I did check other airlines so I know there are other flights available. However, I bought non refundable tickets so I just have to wait them out. Also, I have Travel Insurance so they will pay any difference in fares. I'm only concerned as we are leaving on a cruise on Aug. 13th which is the day the flight arrives in Rome. Anyway, I do appreciate all the information this board posts. There is no mention of any problems with Alitalia over here.
