Creator's Key Takeaways

we opted to fly premium economy from Boston to Rome the flight was being offered through Delta a time of booking for approximately eighteen hundred dollars per person

the Bland meal ordered by Delta farage never made its way to the ETA plain so he was forced to choose between the beef stew dinner or the vegetable lasagna dinner

the gay agent loudly asked what was wrong with my 12 year old son that required him to pre-board

ETA Airways clearly needs to do more training for their staff on cognitive disabilities and on the airline passengers with disabilities Bill of Rights

Our experience with ITA Airways flying Premium Economy non-stop from Boston's Logan Airport to Rome's FCO. There was a mix of good and bad considering the premium cost for tickets, with a whole lot of ugly related to this experience traveling with a minor that has autism and how TSA (at Logan Airport), Delta, and ITA Airways should have done better at handling a non-visible disability. #invisibleillness #hiddendissabilities #deltaairlines #itaairways #tsa @itaairways - ITA Airways should consider promoting Chiara Rufino as she is the ONLY reason we would even consider flying with ITA ever again. She is a gem and a superstar in their employee roster!
