IME both airports about the same. Alitalia, has never managed to lose my bags, no matter how hard I try. take what's cheaper, or the alliance you would rather have miles with
Thank you all for the replies. Now I am torn. When I posted I didn't realize that there is a MR rewards promotion for a 25% bonus when transferring to Flying Blue. I am now debating in my mind if all of your recommendations are worth an extra 18,000 points. Guess I will have to decide.Thanks again!
VIE is way better than FCO
definitely not worth the extra 18K How many miles is the AZ ticket?
29,000 Miles, so with the 25% bonus would need to transfer 24k MR points. The Austiran flight is 42.5k United Miles.
I guess your lucky; Alitalia is notorious for loosing bags.Austrian through VIE - takes hardly anytime to transfer with minimal walking; I can't talk about FCO ( in Rome) but most airlines when you transfer have to walk tons.
definitely not worth the extra 18K
