It can be either way. I didn't book any, but did get it to show free and discounted flights- dates Rome to Osaka 13-03 for free and Bologna-Abu Dhabi-London heathrow 13-03 - 27-03 for free. london has to be entereed as London city as it doesnt reconigse the translation for heathrow

Takes some fiddling around but the flights are there.

this could be a candidate for BA of the decade if it all checks out!

Well done OP

Alitalia website seems to be struggling to keep up.

Anyone have any luck with the Japaneese Translation.

Google translate isn't working too well with it.

keithclancy

Managed to book Geneva - NYC - Venice in Jan for 2 of us for 85 Euros in Total.

:pac::pac::pac::pac::pac:

Will see how it pans out ...

Got my flight confirmation, the Code takes about 485 euros off the price !

Just use Chrome .. translates the page fairly well.

Where do you enter the discount code?

cherryghost

When after selecting flights and clicking the red box to proceed, there's a present image at the bottom right. Fill it in and it should process it for you.

Pretty sure i've missed it tbh. everything Im looking at is 259999 Yen, which is over 2 and a half grand.

Anyone who did get to book, what dates did ye use?

Yamanoto

Bologna BLQ -Abu Dhabi AUH

Dep 8/01/13

Ret 16/01/13

€202.34 all in once PROMOJP has been applied

Same price also available Bologna to Miami around end of january / start of feb.

DDC1990

Booked a flight from London to Venice for free to see what happens.

Could be a laugh if it works.

Got email confirmation etc. but its in Japaneese :P

p.s Its easy to see how Alitalia nearly went to the wall a few years ago if they let shít like this happen :P

Tusky

Can't imagine they will honor this - but I can't seem to find the cheaper prices anyway. Geneva - New York - Venice, comes up as about €240 after the discount.

What dates? Coming up as €200+ for me.

[edit] booked! Got confirmation e-mail but have no confidence in them honoring it so won't be booking the connecting flights just yet!

ballooba

I booked three flights. Will see if they're honoured. It's a pity Alitalia don't fly out of Ireland.

Thanks OP.

walshki

Got 2 in myself. Was looking during the day but hard enough to find the deals. I got London to Rome return free for 4 people for 2 different dates (14th to 17th Feb and 14 to 17th March). First one completely free and they don't even take credit card details because there's no charge. Second one came to approx. 4 euro (400 yen).

I'd love to see something for the states and some on HUKD say they saw some free ones but I can't get anything myself.

Of course that said I know there's a good chance they won't be honoured but sure nothing ventured....

brownacid

GOt myself a nice free flight to rome for valentines day for me and the ladybitch, pity ots from heathrow, that always costs a fortune to fly into. Anyone had any luck with free flights to the states?

Tickets appear not to have been issued (Yet).

I have PNR, confirmation email & ticket numbers but they've not issued the tickets according to the 'Manage my Booking' facility.

If anyone parted with actual cash for their flights, perhaps have a look-see below and report back.

Edit: Oddly, you can also check your booking here, which show my booking as confirmed & makes reference to tickets being issued.

Site looks to be completely down now.

Getting the message 'Sorry, there was a problem'

Damn right there was. I didn't get to book anything !!!!!

I've been billed anyway !

Going by our Hilton Hotel experience from earlier in the week those of you who have booked should hire a hitman to bump off the first one to contact Alitalia asking to confirm the booking and that surely they have no intention of honouring it!

PS contact Mick Wallace in the Oireachtas for a hitman recommendation....

Checked mine through Alitalia.

Has all the details, but says: Ticket has not been issued. Reservation expires on 20/10/2012 alle 21:51.

Checking through the Saudi site doesn't work for me.

But from looking at the Alitalia terms and conditions, the email receipt is all you bring to the check out to check in at the airport, so hopefully thats ok.

Problem is it has a load of japanese on it. Anyone think of a way to get a similer email in English? :P

EDIT: Just through gmail, there is a translate button. Clicked it and it translated everything perfectly, so might print that when the time comes.

I cant book any flights.

Worth a punt, if any airline's likely to honour a daft offer it'd be Alitalia.

Fun while it lasted. I booked 2 on different email addresses. Only got one of these emails so far. I assume it's only a matter of time for the other.

Their exposure would have been massive. I booked about EUR 2000 worth of free flights personally.

...and this is why these things never work. Why not just take a punt and book a return flight for one or two people? Personally, I would think twice about sharing any deal like this as people always abuse it. There was little chance of them honoring it anyway, even if it wasn't abused, but absolutely no chance when people are booking 4/5/6 return flights each.

Yeh ... saw on a few websites there was complete knobs booking 20-30 flights because the voucher brought the total cost to zero.

imo ... you pay a severely reduced amount .. fair enuff ... you pay zero .. book 30 flights and then give out afterwards ... ffs :pac:

*edit* to be fair I don't think I want the flights anymore:

Imagine how you would feel after hearing about these shenanigans.
