Alitalia Pilots

_g4s0006
So here I was in Milan, stressing the past few days about whether I would or not be flying back to Paris with all the financial trouble Alitalia is in, to then be on the plan with only 30 other passengers 7 of which models, a booker and 2 fashion journalists ( fashion keeps Alitalia afloat -only kidding )

So , with all this space, I was wondering which side of the plane I should sit to get a good view of Milan on take off, I ask the steward , who wasn't a 100 % sure, so he calls the captain, who then comes to the back of theplane to tell me  !!! Woauw, now that's service, never had that happen on a flight , say to Sydney and back, at first I thought I was in trouble, but the captain told me to sit on the left, he will make a little turn , and then move to the right side so I can get a good shot of the alps, awesome

And sure enough, he makes a little left turn so I can get a better picture of milan

The green you can see just under the tip of the wing, is the city park , and the spot where the apartment is from Matteo who I stayed with

And the Fiera , where a lot of the shows took place ( like a louvre in Paris )

climbing above the cloud lin, it was about this time that the steward comes out to tell me that the captain suggest I move to the right side
